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 StatesHaving to walk with luggage from the public parking lot across town (outside the walled city). Dark rooms. Efficient but not very friendly check in. Didn’t get to stay in castle but the building next door.
It was nice being inside the old walled city although nothing much is happening after 7 pm.

Amazing location inside the castle within the walls - staying overnight was magical as in the evening and mornings you have the old town to yourself. Our room was small but comfortable

United StatesMusky smell in the room just probably because it is just old building
Just being able to spend a night in part of history was amazing. Love every single moment of everything. It is an old building, so some little things have to be tolerated, such as smaller room and musky smell.

PortugalThe bathroom was very smelly. I’m sure it wasn’t the fault of the hotel. The pipes and sewage system are probably very old. But the smell was unpleasant. Also our room was underneath the kitchen so it was a bit noisy.
The location was amazing. Staying in a castle was like a fairytale.

United StatesWas a little confusing with construction how to get the luggage to the castle on a very hot day. Parking was quite far away...we had two large bags and it was in the upper 80's that day. The person at the desk did not volunteer any assistance, but a young guy ( who is also an up-and-coming rap star) jumped in and rescued the day. He drove my husband over to retrieve the bags and said he would drive us to the car when we left. He was a lifesaver!
Was wonderful to have a cocktail overlooking the town and to see the view after dinner from the castle rooftop.

United KingdomWe stayed for two nights . 1st night we were told we couldn't use the restaurant because of a special booking. We ate in the restaurant in the second night. Restaurant was understaffed which resulted in slow service. Felt sorry for the waitress who did her best but was hampered by lack of kitchen staff.
Staff were very good and attentive
