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.).

DenmarkWe didn’t like the breakfast and the hotel is right by the main street so you can hear loud traffic by the pool. You didn’t notice it from the rooms though.
Such wonderful staff and clean rooms.

United KingdomWiFi awful for the duration of our stay. No cold water from wash hand basin in bathroom until we mentioned for 3rd time. Elevator out of order for duration. we were on 3rd floor.There seemed to be a real reluctance for staff to help us to order a cab to station despite there being a ‘travel desk’ on site. when we did get them to provide a price it was 2.5 times the cost of the journey to hotel from station
location was ok. Room average though ok for price

United KingdomThe hotel is really tired and run down. The bathrooms just feel old the buns have rust on. The function that was on was really loud, and whilst the hotel moved us the whole thing spoiled our evening. The food at breakfast was cold and was just not great. Most of all considering the rates charged the room and hotel were really poor. Really bad value for money.
The staff were helpful.

IrelandSo many things. In General this property is very run down with many areas needing attention. The only elevator was out of action for the four nights we stayed. Cleanliness was a real concern for us - i.e. dirty napkins on the tables, dirty walls and light switches, curtains that badly needed a wash. The Buffet Breakfast was frugal and the staff were slow to replenish empty serving dishes. There were birds in the dining room flying down and picking at the breads from the buffet, that the guest then unknowingly ate. Bar prices were much higher than any other place we visited in Kandy. It's clear to us that this hotel is in a downward spiral.
Location close to the lake was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was clean and comfortable. Swimming Pool was a good size and clean.

IndiaHotel rooms have broken furniture. Mostly furniture is very old, you won't be able to close the closets. Even the replacement room had the same problem. When i opened mini fridge cabinet, the door came out of the cabinet. Bathtub had hair in them, not cleaned well enough. Room had lizard in it. If you are a vegetarian, there are very limited options for you. Property is 4 star, called wrongly as 5 star in booking.com which is disappointing. I would say it probably qualifies as a 3 star property at best.
Only good part was staff were quick to take action and help resolve issues.
