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.).

KazakhstanThe concierge wasn’t as helpful as we hoped for finding things to do. We were there over central Asian new year (Nauryz) and they didn’t know what festivities were on, so we missed the only event that happened (we walked past it the next day when they were taking apart the stage). The pillows weren’t firm enough for me (they are those down pillows which are incredibly soft but lack any support)
The hotel is very nice and ornately decorated inside. The atrium is beautiful. The pool was great for the kids, especially given the windy and rainy weather we had. Our bedroom was a large family suite on the 5th floor. It was mostly very comfortable.

One of the best hotels in Central Asia for facilities - the spa area in particular. Also very well located in the city.

United Arab Emiratesin our second stay the girl in the reception was really rude , I ask her to change the room because there was bad smell in the room itself , make it full the mini bar because it was empty , I called first but seems like the girl didn’t even tried to fix my problem so I went down to talk to them face to face , so they called to somewhere and she forgot that we was sitting and waiting for her answer in front of her , so general manager ask her why the guests are sitting here and she was like “aaah” and I said u forgot about us ? she was super nervous and I told to manager that in our first stay they have been welcoming us that’s why we back here and he of course fixed everything, changed the room immediately, send us complimentary things which is make us really happy
first day I really like it how they welcome us then next day I checked out because I had things to do in another city and I back to hotel because I was really really happy to see the service there and the hotel it’s self very beautiful and the General manager who have been so welcomed us in our second stay there because I went to to them and I told him everything with what I’m not happy

IndiaIf there is a deposit required at the time of check in, apart from the tariff, it should be highlighted and spoken upon rather than refusing to bill on to the room for any restaurant service availed. In any case, bills for services utilized from restaurant should be billed to the respective room ... which can be taken care of while check out.
Overall all had been good. House Keeping and respective schedule can be better

Restaurant a nice retreat with attentive waiters. Very good breakfast buffet. Attention to detail and excellent customer service. The surprise gift from the management in my room was most thoughtful.

Czech RepublicThey are small discrepancies based on the mentality. There was no cattle in the room, I asked for it and had to find out at the reception that they run out of them because of too many guests. It would be really helpfull if they would call and inform me.
I really liked staff at the lobby caffe. They were really pleasant and even brought me special sweets for Nauryz. Another think I really liked was the swimming pool and hammam.
