Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaWe are non-smokers, and Although our room had no odour, there was quite a strong smell in the corridor.
We selected Breeze bay based on the reviews: and it did not disappoint. Although the building is not as modern or fancy as some others closer to the water, it was comfortable and provided all we could want. The facilities at the hotel are varied, and target guest relaxation: we especially enjoyed the private pool. The food in the restaurant was extremely tasty and well presented. The staff are the best feature of this hotel. From the greeting at the front door to the service in the restaurant, the staff are friendly and efficient. For overseas guests, this personal touch makes everything more comfortable. This might seem like a small thing, but the staff were putting up a Christmas tree as we arrived, and the simple pleasure they showed, made me feel very much at home. As a final comment We were very grateful to have a taxi deliver us to and from the JR train station.

United StatesMy room (319) was not comfortable. It did not have a desk to write on, and the two small, straight-back chairs were uncomfortable. The bed was comfortable, with the exception of two small, too-firm (at least for Westerners) pillows. The view out the window was of the resort's rooftop. The Japanese breakfast buffet looked very good (although I did not try it); the Western food offering was meager, comparatively. The guests at the resort were all couples or families. I, as a solo traveler, felt somewhat out of place -- and the language barrier did not help. This was on me, however. On a positive side, I really enjoyed immersing myself in the Japanese-style resort atmosphere.
As the name states, this facility is more of a Japanese resort than a Western-style hotel (e.g., shoes off when entering the lobby, etc.); this was a nice change. Its location was a long walk uphill; however the resort offered free transportation upon arrival and departure from the JR train station. The uphill location compensated with an excellent view of Matshushima Bay. The entire staff was very helpful, although only one person in the resort seemed to speak English. The guest lounge on the main floor was very nice, with complementary alcohol and snacks in the afternoon. The hot pot / buffet dinner at the resort was generous, atmospheric, and delicious.

United KingdomThis must have been a top of the range hotel in the 1980's, with a grand lobby and extensive dining room overlooking the bay. But now it seems to be reinventing itself without actually knowing what it wants to be. Balinese music plays all day and there are Balinese artefacts scattered about for no apparent reason. The lounge is crammed with children's play area, mismatched furniture, Karaoke machine, foot and back massage chairs, playstation, self-service bar and an all day supply of boiled eggs. Some quite noisy guests.
Location is slightly out of town, but easily walkable, albeit uphill. Free taxi to and from the station. Very spacious and comfortable room, but I think we were lucky to have a view as most rooms look out on trees. Extensive range of food for both breakfast and dinner. Free coffee, soft drinks and some alcohol during the day. Seems popular with overseas tourists and families with children.

New ZealandWhile this hotel has 'Seaside Resort' in the name, it is actually located quite a way from the seaside. It does, however have what is possibly the best view over the town and bay. We were warmly welcomed, and given an early check-in, which was appreciated, and allowed us to go out exploring the area. There were a lot of perks to staying at this hotel, including a 'happy hour' which had free snacks and drinks, bicycles, and the buffet breakfast and dinner (both of which we would recommend). Staff here were exceptional, both in friendliness and knowledge of the hotel and things to do in the area. A hotel shuttle is available, but in saying that, we chose to just walk to and from the train station (about 10min away, but up a bit of a hill on the way there). We also made use of the free hotel bikes - they had tiny wheels (about 11"), but for all that, were well-maintained and nice to ride. While our room was spacious, with a lot of extras, it was unfortunately dark, and overlooking the carpark. If we stayed here again, I would probably opt to pay the extra for a room with a view, or a south facing room.

AustraliaFacility tired - needs updating. Bed and especially pillow very uncomfortable. Restaurant fully booked when we arrived. They asked us to wait in lounge for maybe an hour. After 1 hour of waiting, we asked, only to find they had forgotten about us. Not happy!
