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.).

United KingdomThe coffee at breakfast, just instant, could have a coffee machine. But not really a complaint. Beds are bit hard, but very large and that was good. Evening meal took too long to arrive.
Location was great, close to shops. Suited us fine. Breakfast was good, nice fried eggs and waffles, fresh fruit.

United StatesThe temperature of the room is adjustable to the customer's satisfaction. The temperature in all other parts of the hotel seemed very cool to me. I always needed to wear a jacket or another source of warmth.
The breakfast was an exceptional buffet of well-prepared foods along with fruits, drinks, and cereals. A cook stood by on the griddle to take orders for omelets, waffles, and the like. The location was next to a city mall and its own private department store. We were there 3 nights and were gifted by the hotel 3 vouchers of 10,000 kwacha each to spend at their "mall" which is really a department store.

United StatesThe mattresses are of poor construction, very hard and very uncomfortable. I must say that management tried to address the problem; however, there is no quick fix for this problem. I was sore every morning when I awakened.
it is beautiful, in an excellent location, safe, very clean, excellent water pressure, hot water was great. I loved the shower! The staff were very professional and very, very friendly. I had an issue that management addressed promptly. Management was very friendly and very helpful. The food was good; however, some dinner portions are too large for one person.

United Kingdom1. The staff were good but lacked professional training in the dining room. There was lack of attention to customers needs at times. For example, not noticing that there were no napkins on tables and also checking around to make sure customers are okay when having a meal. The process of serving was slow at times. 2. As a five star hotel they should not be serving wine from boxes. They need to offer a choice of wine from bottles.
