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.).

FranceSome of the rooms are not well-ventilated. The first night I spent there, the room felt damped and it smelled mold. I had to change room the next day. I think the problem is that the bathrooms have no ventilation. I think it should be fixed.
The staff is very kind and helpful. I love the breakfast and lunch area, such a little oasis inside the city. It's a beautiful place

United KingdomBreakfast not good value and poorly presented. The pool is not for swimming. More of an ornamental pond !
Convenient location in centre of town although some 30-40 minutes from the airport. Quirky hotel with friendly staff and rooms spread across a number of buildings. Ask for a room in the new building and if you can afford it one on the top floor. Huge rooms. Other smaller rooms can be a bit dated and tight for room. Air con noisy and not very efficient in older rooms. Hotel Good value and happy to store luggage. Excellent restaurant on first floor.

United KingdomSwimming pool looked to be 'natural' - i.e. brown water and no-one was using it, so we didn't think we could use it. To be honest, given the colour of the water, we didn't want to use it. The bar closed really early (about 2000 I think) which meant we had no choice but to move to the busy restaurant.
The food in the restaurant was incredible. And in huge quantities.

United StatesBathroom was tiny/tight but adequate. There were somehow dozens of mosquitos in our room - a typical hazard in the country, esp at the start of the rainy season. Mosquito nets helped, but were not perfect.
Well-located in the city - inside is like another world, cut off from the grime and noise outside. Breakfast buffet was delicious, and eating area by the pool a beautiful oasis. Fantastic value! One of the rare places in Madagascar that offered shampoo.

VietnamLoud karaoke music in the hotel's open air restaurant all day (beneath my window), from late morning until early evening. This meant I couldn't get a midday nap, which I really needed after getting 4 flights into Madagascar. No smart TV. This is an expectation in good hotels these days. Couldn't cast Netflix or YouTube from my phone to the TV. The water leaked from shower into the wooden floor in the bedroom area, so I had to dry it myself. No shaving foam, razor, toothbrush or toothpaste. The toilet doesn't include a bidet hose to clean the bottom, just paper toilet roll. The shower frequently went from extremely hot to very cold within a matter of seconds and needs constant readjustment when taking a shower. Also, the shower head creates a sharp and strong focus of water that is uncomfortable. No international plug sockets. Can't put in a 3pin plug.
Staff are very, Very helpful. Security is excellent. Location is central and near a good collection of restaurants, bars and clubs. Bed is great. Good mosquito net gives complete protection. Nice indoor restaurant with excellent cocktail.

JapanIf you expect to swim in the pool, then maybe it's a bit of a disappointment (I think it's OK to swim in it, but it's smack in the middle of the lounge area, so it's a bit awkward), but we knew this from all the comments, so didn't mind it. In fact, the pool makes the atmosphere better.
We stayed in a family room, and it was extremely spacious with a loft floor with three additional beds. The room was clean, including the toilet and bathroom. The hotel is well designed with antique items peppered everywhere (posters, objects), and with lots of greenery in the open lounge area with a decorative? pool where we are able to hang out comfortably. All the staff were extremely nice and helpful.

United StatesThe shades inside my shower were moldy. A complimentary water would have been nice. Lots of stairs might make it tricky for some people. The restaurant served me fois grois on my duck when I specifically said I didn't want it.
Beautiful decor, very unique. so many antiques and decorations to look at. Staff was helpful with directions to places. Restaurant was great with an extensive menu. Breakfast place/bakery next door very good and you could easily charge items to your room. Pool area with tables was also a nice place to relax. Shower gel, shampoo, blowdryer and fridge provided. Pretty good location. Shuttle was there to pick me up from airport (US$20).

Czech RepublicThe pool is only for decoration, it is not possible to swim in it, it is in the middle of the restaurant and there are tables around its edges. The room is tiny, just for sleeping, but we knew that.
We chose the hotel because of its good location in the city center and because of the swimming pool. The location is really excellent. Staff helpful. Beautiful interior details.
