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.).

United StatesWhile this wasn't a problem for us, the lack of communication with staff was unusual compared to other places we stayed during our trip. Also, the internet was somewhat slow.
Location was great and the room was very nice.

United StatesThe bed was not very comfortable, and in my room a small twin bed. The room and bathroom were modern, though, and had some nice touches. There were no staff present when I was there and no one responded to my requests to leave my bags at the hotel for another few hours, so I had to lock them at the train station.
The location is excellent, right in the center of Coimbra and a short walk to all the tourist sites. It's easy to check in on your own schedule using the door codes provided.

CanadaThe location was central. Breakfast was good
The street was a bit noisy. Also Uber and taxis don’t seem to be able to come to the street so you need to go a few min to another street to be picked up. It’s ok, it’s just a bit nerve wracking

United KingdomYou need PIN numbers to get in and so no staff. But a great hotel.
A lovely charming hotel, with a beautiful reception, has to be seen! The room was large, clean and very comfortable. It is in the middle of town on the Camino. Excellent for pilgrims.

United States- Cons: noisy (can hear what’s happening on multiple floors) - utilitarian – a room but no amenities… if that’s all you’re looking for it is a nice location and clean room.

United StatesThe bed and pillows were not very comfortable. The information that was sent from the property said there would be fruit for breakfast. There were four apples in a bowl. That is the only fruit we saw the time we were there. There was no staff for check-in, problems, or information. Someone came in and cleaned up the room while we were out. We never saw anyone who worked there.
Fantastic location right in the middle of everything you could want to see. We loved the windows overlooking the street and the deck on the top floor is a real bonus. The bathroom had a great shower and good counter space.

United StatesWe never saw a single staff person. We had requested luggage storage, which consisted of leaving our luggage under some steps. There was no locked storage room and no staff onsite.
We liked the location since we were near the Se Velha, Se Nova, and the University. The small breakfast bar was adequate for the price of the hotel.
