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.).

Germany- we arrived very late at night (2:30/3am) but reception wasn’t yet prepared for us. - Breakfast: local cuisine parts were nice, but e.g. scrambled eggs & sausage were ice cold, and other than that there was kellogs type and one type of sausage for the white toast. (Not that I need a full board, but hot eggs would’ve made it already much better).

The location was great as the property was located in the heart of the city center. Easy access to food, shopping and entertainment.

FranceThe hotel room fixtures and fittings are all a bit bashed and there’s a lacklustre feel about it. The w.c. douche didn’t work and the safe needed new batteries.
Good location near to the night market and quay. Rooms had all the necessary facilities and amenities. Kettle, safe, ironing board, air con. Quiet outdoor pool area on 4th floor. Though limited space and only 2sunbeds.

ItalyFridge not working when I checked into room. Stingy with toilet paper had to call housekeeping to bring more (they only bought me 1 roll). Instructions for safe wrong/not clear. Had to call maintenance to look at safe. Finally got it working. Pool only had 2 sun lounges so nowhere to lie except on edge of pool. For a 5star hotel it is unacceptable that they don't check fridge and have clearer/correct instructions on safe. Cleaning staff hopeless, they only made my bed, didn't empty rubbish bins, didn't wash coffee cups, didn't replace toilet paper. Unacceptable for category of hotel
Location. View from my deluxe room. It had a mini fridge (which didn't work so it had to be replaced) all toiletries, hairdryer, iron, well equipped gym, breakfast was excellent with alot of choice. I had 1 meal there and it was excellent.

MalaysiaAnts! Its everywhere. Bathtub draining extremely slow. No secondary lock in our room. The toilet mirror light(???),the wires was exposed. Maintenance need to do more since it's an old hotel. Don't replace things with cheap stuff.(Our pipe knob was from Mr.DIY.lol)
Location! Location! Location! I was glad they started back again the buffet breakfast...though not much choices but better then the set breakfast. The room is big and very comfortable. Thought there was that old musky smell but it's worth it. Pool was nice, gym equipment very limited but if you alone, you'll get a full workout. Overall, it was a nice staycation.

we're accomodated on 12th floor, so the view was amazing, room was sunny and big, with all the equipment you need for few nights stay. amenities were bit older but all in good condition. Room 30m2 more than enough, there was plenty of space for our 4 luggages.

MalaysiaShower glass door did not have any rubber stopper / seal on the bottom part hence it will hit directly the cement and have risk for glass breakage. Besides that water from shower area will flow to the toilet area and will make it slippery. Lighting on vanity bathroom mirror should be improved. In house guest need to pay for the parking fee. 🥲🥲 Otherwise, everything else is okay.
Comfortable, affordable and good place to stay.
