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.).

HungaryThe pillows are not really comfy, but we asked for softer ones and they kindly gave us a change. There is no place where you can store your clothes.
The location is perfect, really cool design, kind service. The breakfast was high quality however not really the menu didn't really have our favourite things we usually eat so we had it only once. The bathroom was beautiful.

SingaporeWhile I loved the feeling of the room, it felt a bit too basic, there wasn't a wardrobe, and there was only a single bar attached to the wall and a few hangers. It would have been great to provide a few more hangers, and/or also more racks or hooks in the toilet. The toilet walls may need a better quality paint or tile, when water splashes, they leave water stains.
Loved the overall vibe of the hotel, it's pretty new, and the interior style is minimalistic and slightly industrial. The window in my room wasn't meant to be opened (am assuming because of the lack of a view), but the layer of glass meant natural light could still come in in the day. I also like that there's a cafe and shop downstairs, and a shared common area. The location is also great and walkable to places like Pontocho Alley. Everything feels nice and new.

AustraliaRoom had poor ventilation (bit stuffy) and mattress and pillows were pretty average in comparison to the rest of the amenities provided. Also would suggest vegetarian options for breakfast be made clear (or better yet, at least one vego option for breakfast other than buttered toast).
Hotel is thoughtfully presented and staff were super helpful. Rooms were modern and light filled. Loved that guests could choose what extra things they might need rather than encouraging waste. Reusable and refillable products fantastic!

Very helpful & friendly staff. Accommodated our request for room views and stored our luggages for 8 hours post check out 10am ( our next scheduled trip to another city was not due until 8pm ) with no extra charges or issues. Walking distance to shops/cafes and bus stops (5-15 min). Beds (bunk) slightly small.

PhilippinesBed and pillows were not that comfortable.
The staff were very helpful and nice. Our room was big and spacious-comfortable to fit family of four. We also enjoyed using the common living area where you can re-heat your food, eat at a dining table, and just hang around. Area was quiet and it was nice to walk around the neighborhood where there are small shops and restaurants.

SpainYou have to book place for breakfast. Although i understand it since there’s only 2 girls preparing it upon arrival and they do it to make sure you don’t wait too much, it can be a bit tedious for an unplanner like me. However, they were very kind and tried to make sure they had place at the time you wanted.

SwitzerlandThe bed and pillows could definitely be more comfortable, but it doesn't matter much after a full day of activities when you're tired. This is very subjective.
The location is fantastic for a first-time visit to Kyoto. It's very close to several streets with shops and restaurants, which is highly recommended. The hotel has a nice vibe, a good breakfast, and a café. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

The bed was really huge and comfy but the not all pillows are as comfy. The room and bathroom are really big and clean too. They provide a clothes refresher which was a plus! Amenities are taken from the lobby for things and the staffs always greet us with a smile in the lobby. The breakfast was really good too! Highly recommend to try it!

United StatesWhile the breakfast was delicious, it's sort of a set meal- you can choose your drink (coffee, tea or juice), you can choose your carb (usually there was buttered toast, toast with almond spread or jam spread, or egg or ham sandwich) and then there's a plate with a variety of veggies and small shot of soup. It's not a buffet, and not a japanese breakfast, so eating multiple days in a row can have you craving more variety. Also you had to "reserve" your eating time in advance since there are limited tables, works well only if you're up the same time everyday.
This place is modern and minimalist. The hotel is cutting down on plastic so there's a community kitchen on the 4th floor where you can fill up with filtered cold water, there's also a refrigerator/freezer, water heater, microwave, toaster and stovetop for food storage/prep. There's a huge table and chairs to sit and eat and a reading area to relax or chat with other guests. Guests during the week seemed mainly foreigners with more japanese on the weekend. The bathroom doesn't have a lot of space to put vanity items, but the toilet is nice with heated water for the bidet and the shower/furo (bathtub) was japanese style, spacious and relaxing after a day walking around. There wasn't a lot of room to move around the beds or lay out suitcases, but the beds were comfy and the walls were concrete which made it very quiet, and the window shutters did a great job of keeping the room dark. Hotel staff varied but overall very friendly and helpful answering questions and ordering a taxi for us (our hotel in Tokyo said they would charge us extra if they ordered a taxi). It's a short walk from public transportation and from a lot of shopping and places to eat, but it's not on a main road.
