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.).

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location was just fantastic as we're the staff. I liked the availability of bottled water and a washer and dryer. The only reason I didn't rate higher was because it didn't feel very clean. It wasn't dirty but just not as clean as it could be. The bathtub was a little stained, the towels didn't feel fresh (they were washed but not fresh) and the common areas needed a vacuum. Not the biggest concern just to be transparent for other travellers. Again the staff and location were spot on! The room was fine for all 4 of us.

NetherlandsThe sheets on my bed had some stains on it, and the bath in the bathroom wasn't very clean either. I could definitely hear other guests in nearby rooms, but the hotel does have the policy of keeping quiet from 10 or 11 PM, and you can contact them if you experience any nuisance.
Staff was very friendly, the room was a decent size. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was good. The location is amazing; almost next to the bus stop and close to the metro as well. And it's in Myeongdong, so there is always shops, restaurants, sights, and fun activities nearby! There is also a nice roof terrace and lounge, which are freely accessible at all times.

AustraliaA very central location and the area is bustling with activity; the hotel was very comfortable, the room was spotless clean, including the bathroom; with a rooftop kitchen area with a kettle, a microwave, utensils and a small lounge area. You could also do self-service laundry. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we even got a tiny farewell gift (energy drink) and we could for free leave our luggage secure after we checked out. Also the hotel is small and homey, which was great, so it felt personal unlike huge hotels.

ItalyI stayed at this hotel for 5 nights with my best friend, the location was very convenient being close to the subway and cab station. The staff was incredibly helpful, giving us lots of restaurant suggestions and even taking the time to accompany us and help us with the Korean menu. Everyone was always smiling, friendly, polite and ready to get to know their guests better. A place I would highly recommend, run by young people ready to find a solution to any problem or inconvenience.

The location is very convenient for accessing food and shopping options. Just 5 min walk from City Hall subway station. Rooftop lounge is good for dining and relaxing with a cup of coffee. Hotel staff is very cheerful and helping. I like the arrangement for self check in by the staff in the early morning. Overall we just loved this place!

PhilippinesI was surprised there is no luggage rack, so I had my luggage on the floor during the stay. Surprisingly, the hotel I booked in Busan also does not have a luggage rack. I don’t know why this is omitted. When I turned on the TV using the remote control, it won’t turn off so I had to unplug it from the wall outlet.
As with my primary requirement, I chose this hotel due to the proximity to the City Hall station. It is also surrounded by good eating places which I have dined at during my stay. The staff were excellent, they’re friendly, helpful, accommodating, I just have to say I love them. The self service lounge is good with K-drama feels, but it was mostly raining during my stay. There is a safety box, refrigerator, hair dryer, four USB ports (but not enough power to charge my DJI Pocket 2).
