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.).

SingaporeRiver cruise was wonderful with good guides. We enjoyed lunch and having drinks at the lounge. The staff especially at the restaurant were very friendly and attentive. The buffet spread is good with local and international food. My mom is 82 and they switched our rooms without us asking to one with elevator access. Really appreciated that.

IndiaThere was really nothing to dislike.
The room was spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. Unfortunately, since we were at the basement level, the view from the room was not as great as we were led to believe, but, except for this, we were very pleased. The hotels reasonably close to the city center and we had no difficulty in reaching the main tourist attractions and the market. We had booked on a half-board basis and both the breakfast buffet as well as the dinner buffet had an extensive selection of local, Indian and Continental dishes. We would especially like to recommend Chef Rukshan, who prepared some excellent omelets for us at breakfast time.

Sri LankaNice location alongside the river. Good food. We would particularly commend Anuradhapura Bibile for welcoming us to the hotel and dealing with our requirements. Also Shanilka Hiruni, Hostess, and Nissanka, Restaurant Supervisor, for their particular attention to making our meals enjoyable.

South AfricaWas a beautiful stay. The hotel is beautifully situated on the river side, every morning looking out at the river was peaceful and serene. The breakfast had an abundance of choices! the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The outdoor terrace was beautiful, we wished we have more time to enjoy the space. The decor was really good, the cultural vibe of the city meets modern design.

United KingdomRooms and bathrooms are spacious but could do with being modernised. Food in the restaurant wasn't particularly good, there was a limited choice and we didn't feel that the quality of the food was adequate which is a shame because the service was excellent. On the contrary, breakfast was great.
The hotel location next to the river was great, not very convenient to get into the city centre but we weren't bothered by that, more interested in the calm and peaceful position of the hotel. The pool was really nice and the attendant was extremely attentive and helpful.
