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.).

ChinaThere was a small misunderstanding. I booked a room for 3 nights in booking, and the hotel took out my luggage on the third day, because I only paid the room charge for the first two nights (the room charge for 2 days was automatically swiped by the card), but I did not pay the room charge for the third night, but no one reminded me to swipe the card again, but finally the staff solved the problem for us. We also checked into other rooms. So to remind all passengers of this situation, you can ask the staff about the payment of the room rate.
The breakfast was very good, the staff was very nice, the location was very convenient and the rooms had a great view

NorwayBasin was out of order, so we were so inconvenient during the stay. And we saw hair in the morning buffet every mornings(3days). We removed it ourselves, but my 12 years of daughter found a piece of plastic on her food. We informed it to the staff, but no one apologized to us. I hope your hotel more care of cleanliness and checks the foods to be served.
The location is perfect, and the view was also very nice. Our family was happy with Ishavshotel in Tromsø. If I visit Tromsø again, I will stay at this hotel again.

United StatesThe STAFF. Extremely unfriendly and often gave one word answers to common questions without even looking up. They seemed “bothered” by the existence of the customers who are the reason they have a job.

United Arab Emirates- no spoons or milk in the room, despite kettle & tea/ coffee - never clear when roast , the in house restaurant was open and no menu displayed so we never ate here which was a shame
- Breakfast buffet was one of the best we have ever had - so so many options & delicious - location was amazing - most excursions departed from next to hotel and it was a short work into the main town

FranceThe only thing making my rating 9 instead of 10 is that we asked beforehand coming about a parking spot, never could book one. We called the day we arrived to ask and they said they still have one spot. Once arrived at the hotel, they said we didn't have a spot, so we parked our car in the streets not far from the hotel. And we I checked out, they ask me to pay for the parking spot, whereas we didn't used it! I told them so, plus the whole story of mailing and calling, and they said that they won't charge for the spot.
The hotel was very well located, easy to access, big entrance hall, big room for breakfast, huge choice of food, the room was spacious and clean, the view from it exceptional (view of the port), beds were comfortable as well

Singapore-
The location is quite strategic, near the water body and right across it is a picturesque mountain, so the morning views are fabulous. In addition, it is also the pickup location of many artic packages (northen lights hunt, cruise, boat rides) so it’s really convenient. The staff is nice, they allowed us to change our room to one with a nicer view (initial room had a partial wall to the window that kind of obstructed the view), changed to a room with a full window. Bfast buffet while the food selection is not spectacular, it is still good, and there’s also a barista station where the staff can brew coffee for you

United KingdomThe breakfast was comprehensive and good food. As an English person travelled Ng having a good cup of tea in the morning is important to me and they had good tea :) but the food was really good in the morning. English and continental options available. Good service as well. The room was a very good size and clean with the staff being excellent. They were able to give advice about transportation, help with problems we were having and very friendly. The location was also very good all our excursions started around or at the hotel so that helped.

United KingdomThe room could have been a little cleaner and the beds are pretty soft. That would be the only slight negative of a lovely stay here.
The location is absolutely perfect and has an airport bus stop directly outside (airport express). Breakfast every morning was 10/10. Lots of options for all. We did eat at the in house restaurant Roast one night and that was delicious. Our room was warm and comfortable. All the staff were friendly and very helpful.

AustraliaWhen we checked in, the initial male staff member from reception was not very welcoming or helpful, in fact he was quite rude. Subsequent times that we approached front reception they weren’t very helpful either and seemed annoyed by any questions. It was a shame because everything else about our stay was excellent
It was a lovely place to stay close to everything. The room was clean and you could open the windows to let fresh air in, the bed was comfortable and there was a kettle and tea and coffee in room. The breakfast spread is very good with a huge range to suit any diet.
