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.).

NetherlandsThe shared bathrooms isn’t great and the hotel upsells a lot after your arrival. The tax per day, rent for towels etc. It’s better to include it all and make a fair price from the get go. Hygiene is not the same as other Japanese stays. Could improve (plastic bags under the bed, our kids found a toothbrush in the side of the mattress).
The outside of the building and location is fantastic. Lovely people that run the hotel.

IsraelThe laundry services were particularly expensive, as well as the towel rental. The shower room looked clean but had a very bad smell. In the shower, an automatic system turned off the water flow every 10 seconds, which was quite annoying.
The location was good, the room was big and clean. Downstairs was a large and comfortable cafe where you could work and study.

NetherlandsI really didn't like going to the ladies toilet or bathroom on another floor as our room was in the back of the hotel, it was very far away!! Even if you want to quickly brush your teeth or just wash your hands, you need to cross the hall, enter the stairways were it was really cold, and then cross another hallway, way to far and it was really annoying. The men bathroom and toilet where on the opposite of our room, so really close, so sometimes I went there to go to the toilet or wash hands but felt really unwelcome ofcourse if a male enters te room, and I needed to explain why I'm here as the girls room is sooo far away! I also didn't like paying for coffee/tea or a towel, in my opinion a towel should be included in the price of the stay.
The owner of the hotel is very friendly and gave us the best local tips for food. From the hotel you can walk to gion district, nishiki market and ponchoto alley which is really nice! The room is very small but for us it was oke. It's very clean and quiet, which was really nice. Bathrooms and toilets are clean!
