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.).

NetherlandsOnly a really minor thing: in the room I stayed in during this stay, the water boiler didn't stay plugged in so I had to push it while waiting for the water to boil.
I stayed here twice now, on both occasions the service provided by the staff was great, the room was spacious, comfortable and clean, and the restaurant downstairs provided good breakfast and dinner. I especially appreciated the early check-out option.

NetherlandsThe room could have been cleaner. The main surfaces and the bed were perfectly fine, but the shelves had quite a bit of dust on them, the kitchenette drawers were stained and the coffee machine hadn't been cleaned out in a while. I was also surprised to find no earthenware or kitchen utensils whatsoever in an otherwise equipped kitchenette (stove, microwave), although it wasn't a problem for me as I just needed the coffee maker and kettle.
I stayed in the deluxe studio, which was a comfortable and spacious room. The bed was comfortable and coffee and tea facilities were included. The location of the hotel is pretty good, very close to the city center and at biking distance from the train station.

GermanyStaff was friendly, but not always where I expected someone to be (reception, bar), you sometimes had to wait for a while till someone came. The room itself was clean, but there was dirt on the floors and right next to the door to my room water was dripping from the ceiling, somebody had placed a bucket there, but all around it the floor/carpet was wet. A ventilator in the bathroom would have been nice..
The location is great, good atmosphere with many young people around. The room was quite big, new bathroom, breakfast was really good /good choice. I used the P+R Kardinge from where the bus takes 6 minutes to the station, situated 400 m away from the hotel. City centre was a 5-minutes-walk away, a big choice of different restaurants nearby.

United KingdomThis was our second stay at this hotel. ( we stayed in mid June at the start of our holiday) We didn’t enjoy this stay so much as we were on the 6 th floor and the room was much smaller. It was also at the back of the hotel and so was very hot.
The central location was fab and has a secure car park next door. The hotel is quirky and fun and the staff are efficient and friendly. Would def stay again if we could have a room at front of hotel and not on 6 th floor.

UkraineThe location is great, not far from the center, in a well-lit place, we had no problems returning from the concert at night. The beds are comfortable, the breakfast is good, the room is clean, there is a kettle. I loved the interior with fun little quotes throughout the room (like the shower gel in a bottle called "Knowledge is a shower"). And we were given bottled water as a nice bonus on check out

United KingdomWe had to wait quite a while to check in as staff were moving a bed in another room. We arrived late after a long drive and the restaurant was closed,only the bar was open. When we asked where we could get food the reception staff sent us on a complicated journey only to find that restaurant was also closed. They could have told us there was a takeaway nearby which we only discovered on the way back. The room was large and the bed comfortable but sockets were not conveniently placed for charging phones etc.
Breakfast was fine and staff were friendly but the restaurant area was very busy and some tables for 4 were taken up by one person with a coffee working on their laptop so it was difficult to use those tables. There was good parking close by although you had to pay for it.
