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.).

GermanyThe bathroom sink was somewhat clogged. There's no curtain or door between the room and the bathroom. Breakfast selection was very limited. Someone was smoking outside the building and the smoke was coming into the room via window ventilation holes. The door lock could use some oil - was difficult to close the door. The room could use an extra cabinet or a shelf to put phones and some other small things on.
Parking was convenient, but paid 10 Euro per night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great. Breakfast selection was limited, but tasty. The staff offered good tea and coffee. The room was converted from 2 former prison cells, so the expectations were not high. But as an experiment it was interesting. For one night stay this hotel fits nicely.

DenmarkUnfortunately very noisy rooms; we could hear every sound of our neighbors. The missing of the shower curtain makes everything very wet during and after a shower. And the room was very dirty on important spots.
Location is just wonderful and we had a beautiful sunny view on the IJsselmeer. It does feel special to sleep in a former prison. Bed was good. Safe parking included.

CanadaRooms on third floor (top) have reasonable ventilation with openable windows but the elevator area can get warm at peak of day.
Casual atmosphere of lounge is nice. We were allowed to store our bikes inside, which is good security. Breakfast is abundant and fairly priced; much better than jail food! Location is very convenient to downtown and seaside (lakeside).

FranceThe room is very expensive for not so great quality: it is very small (and as I don’t care that it was a prison, I would prefer pay less), and a bit too cheaply furnished in the bathroom: plastic disposable glasses, no shower curtain, no window.. + in the morning we saw rooms that have a sea view, they are bigger, much nicer as the view is great and the windows are real ones (not in the roof): everything is ok but not worth this very expensive price. It would have been nice to pay less for a lesser room Thanks
The hotel is very well situated, right in the center of everything, and the view next to it is very good, with the ships etc. We had the courtyard view, which was quite nice (until we saw the other side of the hotel!)
