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.).

SwedenThe room is far from a 4 star hotel standard as it says in the advertisement, no TV (broken), but TV is not important for me and no shampo, no hot water and no fridge and no waterboiler but theythe staff was friendly and give me a thermos with hot water every day and I could put my butter and cheese in the restaurang fridge. I would say it is rather a 2 star hotel than a 4 star when it comes to the equipments in the room. The reception say they accept payment with creditcard but more than one time it has been problem when it was time for paying. "Our mashine is not working" they said, but when I said "I must pay with creditcard, you promised that before and I do not have so much cash to pay with". Anyhow then they fixed it
Papillion is a very nice place,, peaceful and in a nice African style. From my balcony I look over a nice little garden and the swimmingpool. It is not noise and nothing disturbing Breakfast was Ok, with a omelette and toast and coffe but it is not a buffebreakfast. But you have your breakfast sitting in the nice little garden. The AC in the room is good and effective, The staff is very friendly and reception is helpful and good. and the man that is cleaning the room is doing a VERY GOOD JOB . I like this small picturesque hotel and have stayed there several times and want come back again. becaus it is a peaceful place with a friendly staff.. It is a 5 to10 minute walk down to the beach.

South SudanThe environment was unkempt. The toilet smelled. I woke up itchy all over. Might have had bedbugs. I checked out first thing in the morning, after the breakfast was late. Total waste of money. The facility should be upgraded or shut down for good.

United StatesThe staff were very welcoming especially Sammy who went above and beyond to make sure everything was good for us. And Juma who made a delicious fried chicken and fries. He is a wonderful cook and could actually open his own restaurant for chicken and fries. Was really good. Thanks Juma and thanks Sammy as well as the gate keeper Askari who I could not remember his name. Just wonderful people. I would stay again at this place anytime I am back in Kenya.
