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.).

IrelandI think it’s pet friendly & someone had a cat that did not stop meowing, just to be mindful as walls are thin
We arrived at 7pm & left by 7am for a bus - was basic but done the job. Clean big bed. Room small but was grand for us. Good AC

RomaniaIt isn't a new or refurbished place. This is why I would rate like this.
It is a nice hotel, located close by the center of Puerto Princesa. Staff is friendly: there was an issue with the hot water and after my initial request to solve it wasn't finalized, the Manager of the hotel took charge of it and required another staff to come even though it was late evening. It was a clean and large room. There was a kitchenette space available for the entire floor: having water and tea/coffee.

United KingdomThe front of the hotel shows a different name as it’s advertised. There was a small vinyl sheet hanging on the wall with the other name of the hotel so it was confusing at first. On booking.com it said I will have to pay at the property, but after booking the room I received a text message asking me to secure my booking by paying for the room. It asked for 50 pesos more than it was advertised. I made the payment but received no confirmation at all. When checking in, the lady asked me to pay for our room. I had to explain I have already paid but my only confirmation I could show her was the transaction in my online banking. She was fine with that. Then the lady asked me to pay 200 pesos for a “service charge”. I asked her to show me exactly where I can find this information, as it wasn’t mentioned when I made the reservation. I told her I refuse to pay anything else, then she said it was fine and we were shown to our room.
As other guests said, yes, the building is old. However, the hotel is clean. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean. Bed and pillow are comfortable. Close to the airport. Modern quiet AC. We even got toothbrush and toothpaste. It had a decent sized tv. Free drinking water in the corridor to help yourselves. Room and bathroom were both decently sized and it was really cheap. True 24/7 reception unlike most places that say they have 24/7 reception.

Philippines- It seems to be echoey on the hallway, so you would be able to hear people talking loudly from your bedroom. But we didn’t really bother.
- The staff were nice and friendly. Also very helpful when you need information to go around Puerto. - Appreciated the free hot & cold drinking water the hotel provides. - The price is very reasonable, considering the spacious bedroom we had. - The location is quiet and peaceful, a 3-block away from the busy area, which makes it relaxing when you’re having a night stroll with your partner. - Palawan seems to have brownouts quite often, but this hotel has its own generator so you won’t have to worry about losing power.

United KingdomThe double bed in our “superior double room” is actually 2 singles pushed together with an uncomfortable gap. Also very strangely the bedroom window looks into the corridor so curtains have to be closed at all times unless you want someone to be able to see you sleeping.

PakistanLa Charica Inn offers a pleasant stay, but the internet can be weak and confusing with multiple signals and passwords. Improvement is needed in this area.
I had the pleasure of staying at La Charica Inn, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a serene and comfortable place to stay. The recent name change to La Charica Inn didn't affect the quality of service. They've made sure to cater to all our basic needs. One standout feature is the convenience of having tricycle transportation available right at the doorstep. It's not only convenient but also incredibly affordable, like a mere 40 cents to reach SM mall. This accessibility makes exploring the city a breeze. The tranquil ambiance of La Charica Inn is perfect for a peaceful getaway. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a cool and calm place to stay while in the city.
