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.).

HungaryI gave a 9 and not a 10 only because of the crowded breakfast space but I still believe that a bit of a waiting worth for this beautiful view to the bay. The breakfast staff was also very kind and helpful.
The hotel is very nice, the room we booked (Suite, not the standard) was very big and well-equipped. Please note: only standard rooms and family rooms have sea view (so we did not have it). However, the view from the 9th floor, where the breakfast was served offers a breathtaking view. It is true that the capacity of the space is smaller than the amount of people having breakfast but it is worth for the view, really. I have not seen any other hotel with this view. The staff was very kind and we also got early breakfast sandwiches because we had to check out at 5am. Everything was easy and went very well.

EstoniaNoise suppression was almost nonexistent, you could hear both the traffic noise and inside noise (flushing, people talking upstairs etc), so I would recommend bringing a pair of earplugs if you are sensitive to it. Also, there were no EU-adapters in the rooms, so bring your own. The queue for breakfast was long, so be prepared.
Location was perfect, right in the centre of Sliema with all the transportation nearby (ferries, buses etc). Nice balcony and a proper size room and bathroom for 2 people. Breakfast was tasty and the view from the breakfast lounge was amazing! The staff was very helpful and there was even an opportunity to store your luggage there after check-out. The room temperature was adjustable and there was good ventilation.

PolandI have nothing to complain about.
I had a spotless and luxurious room, it completely met my expectations. It is a great location, close to the bus stop, close to the ferries. I am vegan and I asked about a vegan breakfast, and they said there is no problem with it, but normal breakfasts have a wide selection, and vegan ones are poor.

SloveniaIron ruined two of my t-shirts while ironing because it was burnt on the bottom. I suggest checking it before ironing. The mattress is not exactly the most comfortable, but ok.
Breakfast was good, but every day was exactly the same and you get really tired of it after few days. Every day there were halal and regular sausages, bacon, potato patties, scrambled and hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, beans in gravy, some vegetables, salami, cheeses, 3 types of cereals, mixed fruits and some pastries. It would be nice if they added or. replace at least one different dish every day. You could also order a coffee or a tea and pour yourself juice (3 types). Location is excellent, everything is close. Ferry, bus station, shops and restaurants and bars. For 3 stars, the rooms are very good, only the bathroom is very small. The room is equipped with a kettle, tea, coffee, cups and glasses. A hairdryer and an iron are also available. Our room also had a balcony, big enough for 2. The employees were very friendly and helpful. On the ground floor is the Grana restaurant, which has very good pizzas at reasonable prices.

Hungary2 things that made me disappointed: 1, breakfast. It was in a nice place, on the 9th floor and if you were lucky to sit on the terrace you got an amazing view. But it was so crowded and chaotic. The place is too small for a big hotel. It was uncomfortable sometimes. The stuff was nice, but they couldn't manage well a lot of people, not possible. The breakfast is nice, BUT very boring after a few days. Everyday is the same. We spent a week there and after 2 days we were bored of it. We even skipped days to eat something else. But that's sad because we payed the room with breakfast so we could easily start the day. 2, The other is the wellness room. I thought it will be bigger and also warmer water pool. It's a sauna, a small pool what was heated in January, but we felt cold anyway, so we used it once. We had a plan to use every afternoon, but after the first day we skipped.
Nice, clean hotel, in a super place with friendly stuff. Super comfy bed, in the bathroom we had both shower and bathtub what we liked. It had smart tv, so we could watch film evenings from bed.

CroatiaThe room wasn't with two single beds but two single beds pushed together but we didn't mind.
We did our check-in and out with the most welcoming and kind person alive! Her name is Diana and she was always helpful with the biggest smile on her face! We got new towels and toiletries every day and the room was cleaned daily. When we had a problem with the safe manager Savic was there to help in just a few minutes! Biggest cheers to Diana at the reception and manager Savic.

United KingdomBreakfast was just ok. The cooked breakfast was cold. Had there been a microwave, I would have put my plate in there for 30sec to heat it up. A cold cooked breakfast isn't that tasty. The pastries, rolls and cakes were delicious. The bathroom could have done with a bit of a makeover, as there was some mould on the ceiling and inbetween the tiles but that didn't stop me from using it. The bathroom was clean.
The room was lovely with a great sea view. Great location. Very comfy beds. The room could have been a bit wider as walking past the bed and tv I had to pass sideways but that's not a major issue. Staff were friendly. Water fountain on each floor so you could fill up any bottles you have rather than buying water. Tea and coffee making facilties in the room but they were very stingy with the amount they gave. Only one tea bag or coffee sachet and milk per person per day. We came back one afternoon and had a tea but then in the evening I had to go to reception and ask for more. Again not a major issue but being a bit more generous would be nice. Safe in the room which is good. No parking offered by the hotel but as we went in Jan it wasn't peak season so we managed to find a space opposite the hotel but in summer season I can see this may be tricky.

IndiaWe stayed for 7 days, and having the same menu for breakfast started to get boring after 3 days. A few changes to the menu will help those staying longer with some variety. Our room didn't have a great view outside, although we were outside visiting places all day. For those that wish to relax and layback in the room, the view outside is not that great.
Well sanitized hotel, in the middle of the town, Sliema, very convenient if you need to travel around by bus, has a jacuzzi, gym, sauna, small pool and steam. The breakfast is on the top floor, so it has beautiful views to the harbour.

SerbiaThe water in the indoor pool is quite cold, hardly any of the guests swim in it. Since the pool is small and not suitable for swimming, the water temperature should be a few degrees higher.
The location of the hotel is great, very close to the ferry and several public transport lines... but even so, our room was peaceful and quiet and great for a good night's sleep. A large selection of delicious food for breakfast, on the terrace with a phenomenal view of Valletta.
