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.).

IndonesiaThe whole building smells strongly mouldy n musty from the time you entered the hotel, it got worst when you exited the elevator at 4th floor (all rooms are on the 4th floor, basically the hotel have only 1 floor), our rooms smells better but still my allergies are triggered for the 3 days I stayed there Breakfast on 1st day was very poor, 2nd day a little bit better, but still poor Water pressure in the shower was very weak, and the water was either warm or hot, I couldn't have a cold water shower even the water at the wash basin was warm Overall don't expect too much, you get what you paid for, and for you who has a bad case of allergies or asthma, beware One more thing, the mattress was REALLY HARD, usually I don't have problem with hard mattresses but this is hard as wood and after 2 nights of sleeping on it my back hurts
Location and the staff, and the view from our balcony, very spacious and well lit room

IrelandThe bed was so hard, it actually hurt to lie down and sleep in certain ways. The staff gave the vibes that they'd talk bad about you as soon as you're out of sight. The breakfast wasn't worth paying extra for at all. Not much options for something healthy. I left hungry this morning because even though it was 8:15 when I came down to eat, there were no eggs left. I asked if they could replace, but it was taking forever. When I asked again, they eventually brought out 3 eggs separately in a bowl (not the main platter). The eggs obviously came from a fridge and when I attempted to peel, they smelt gone off. Like just don't bother?? So essentially I'm on a 5 hour journey to El Nido with no food except for some pineapple I managed to get the last of. The staff didn't seem to care at all, and acted as if I was being unreasonable because I asked for food that I paid for. This is the first negative review I've written on booking because I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but this place was not it. I've been travelling for three months and this was my least favorite place. Especially for the price! I would advise you to book somewhere else!
Room was big and clean. Bathroom was modern and a good size, however I didn't have hot water on the second day for some reason. I booked the room without the view so was aware there was no sunlight into the room so it was fine.

GermanyI accidentally left some clothes (pants, shirt, and jacket) in the closet in our room, but only realised this after we had left the hotel. I tried contacting Sunlight guest hotel via email and mobile number but no one answered. No one was answering their contact numbers. I am very disappointed that this hotel cannot be contacted after check out in case a guest accidentally leaves their personal belongings in their room!

United Arab EmiratesNothing, but my only advice is for the gym . Is not only for the hotel guests and need more organization. But doesn't reduce my high score with the hotel .
The room is the highest point of this hotel, and the breakfast buffet is the second. I chose the sea view room , big , comfortable and so modern .

Prime Location: This place was fantastic! Right by SM, which made it super convenient for grabbing essentials and meals. Plus, Klook tours picked us up right from the hotel, saving us time and hassle. Accommodating Staff: The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always available to answer questions, give recommendations, and ensure we had a comfortable stay. Stunning Bay Views: Waking up to the beautiful bay view every morning was incredible! It was so relaxing to sit on the balcony and enjoy the scenery.

United StatesI highly suggest requesting a room that is not on the main street side. It was very noisy, even throughout the night. Ear plugs helped dampen the sound. Most of their rooms are not on the street so I would ask specifically for one of those.
This is a nice hotel with modern rooms (very modern bathroom). The service throughout is excellent. We were only there for one night and did not venture outside. They do have a restaurant and bar which was nice. Breakfast was included. It was very good.

PolandBreakfast hours - till 9 only and you can order a la carte only after 11:30. Villas are very close to each other so if you happen to have noisy neighbors you hear them real well.
The villa itself - spacious, well designed and with a big terrace. The whole area beautifully planted. Massage.

GermanyThe staff of the hotel (especially at the reception) is very suspicious and tries to scam you with offers that are not true. We booked a kingsize bedroom and first (offer at the booking page was wrong and a scam). After reclamation and a lot of discussion we were harassed by the staff to leave the room (constant calls on our room until we disconnected the phone), then our climate control was disconnected until we did complain about it. I was ill in that time so the room was a torture. After we left the room, it was clearly visible that someone had moved and opened our bags (nothing recognized to be stolen so far). When we checked out, suddenly the minibar had to be paid and even the pringles which were standing without any price list in the middle of the room had to be paid. They really scammed and harassed us, worst hotel I‘ve been in that class in whole Asia! Beware of the reception staff and don‘t be scammed by them!
The hotel is quite luxurious in a bit old way for the Philippines. The restaurant crew was also quite polite, but that‘s the only good points of this very bad hotel

GuamRequested for an ocean view room upon check in but was told no availability. We were moved to another room the next day. I communicated with the property days prior about an inquiry on amenities and location but no reply at all. Upon check in in our room, I found pubic hair on our bed and toilet seat. (See picture). The hotel location is across a public market and it is noisy and polluted. I never expected a hotel just in front of the market place. Upon check out, I was told that there will be no airport shuttle to drop us off (which was stated on the booking that it is available). We need to book our transport instead.
The room was spacious and the staff were very nice and attentive to our needs. The staff at the restaurant were very attentive and Chef Mark was really nice to accommodate our request.
