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.).

CanadaOverall decent but simple. All the basics are covered, no more. A bedside lamp would be a great addition. Wifi not always reliable but overall good.
Very conveniently located for work and meetings at the UN, safe to walk there anytime of day. Amazing breakfast with friendly and helpful staff. Overall good value for money and convenience.

Indiapoor WiFi connection. Provision of facilities like drinking water or soap was patchy. the first two days, no drinking water was provided, then things like soap and shampoo were provided by day 3. but the staff were friendly and helpful
Breakfast was okay, the room was basic, clean and with plenty natural light. the real problem was the WiFi. it was limited to the room and even then it was not always a steady connection. The staff were helpful, that was a real plus.

MalaysiaHowever, the reason I could not give full marks for the hotel, is the lack of minor maintenance. The toilet bowl seat/lid was broken and the safe box not functioning. Something they should pay attention to. The rest is fine.
We stayed for a night and honestly, we did not expect the room will be spacious enough for 3 of us. The amenities are well equipped, standing fan, AC, thermos, water heater, hair dryer, etc. Location wise, good for us bcs it was near with embassies and eateries. Village Market mall also nearby. Very convenient.

UgandaSome rooms have either no AC, or no net, or neither. But they swapped our room when we asked about mosquitoes and no net-the room we actually stayed in had both a working AC and a net. So, just ask, and you shall be given. ☺️
The hotel was recommended to us for it's budget pricing and location within walking distance to the US Embassy. We can highly recommend staying here-the staff was super friendly, and they helped us with printing documents, in color(!) for free (!!). The embassy is indeed 3 walking minutes away, so that is great. All rooms we saw had a fridge, so there's great because we traveled with some fresh food.

The Location is great for those with business around the UNEP/GIGIRI area. The room was compact and cosy, nothing fancy but adequate for short business travel
