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 StatesWow what a different/unique hotel experience. First, the front desk was so great. Stayed late to make sure that we were coming (we were delayed) and was making accommodations to make sure we were able to get in. Super cool layout of the hotel with intertwined ramps to the different floors. The room itself was great. Clean room, great shower. Soundproof walls, no windows, comfy beds -- a perfect night sleep. If you want a lot of amenities in your room, this aint it. If you want a different experience, reasonable price, and a great night sleep, this is your spot.

NetherlandsWhen I came into my room it was clear it had just been cleaned, as the bathroom floor was still very wet from mopping. However this was fine as I had just checked in to drop off my things and then left right away; when I came back it was dry.
It felt very relaxed and welcoming; I liked having a space to myself for a night and felt very comfortable there. Staff were friendly, the beer at check in was a nice bonus, and the concept is very cool. The restaurant was also lovely!

United KingdomDespite the originality of the rooms, it did feel a bit like sleeping in a wardrobe with the feeling of little fresh air. For a 2-3 day holiday is fine and fun, but longer than that I would personally wouldn't do it.

GermanyThe box was cozy and everything was clean and tidy, the mattress was huge and has the perfect firmness. We experienced some minor technical issues with our Box, but the very attentive staff sorted them out by reassigning us to a fresh Box within ten minutes of contacting them. Couldn’t have done any better! The hotel is very close to the historical center with all its restaurants and bakeries, as well as the marvelous botanical garden of the university.

PortugalSound isolation is not as good as I expected from such an enclosed and almost windowless space, but it is not terrible.
I've been here multiple times and it never disappoints. Staff is awesome, rooms are cozy, all the meals are great and it is located in a very central area. They also have lockers that you can use for free, to keep your things before check-in/ after check-out. Parking was never ideal, but the city parking by the river is not expensive and is quite close too.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The bar upstairs is chill. It's nice to take their welcome drink there and relax. The room is even more spacious than I expected. And two benches to sit or layout my stuff.

NetherlandsThe only 2 negative things I noticed was that I still heard voices outside the door. Meaning that the soundproofing, even if very great compared to other hotels, is still lackluster. And the other thing was that there was a lot of dust in the box where the airconditioning was blowing. So every time I turned it on I felt the sudden increase of dust in the air. That was noticeable enough for me to not give this hotel a 10 but a 9 instead. Still, considering an average score would be a 5, this far exceeded my expectations
The concept is amazing. Everything is clean and good quality. Staff was great. Love it here, I'm coming back soon

United KingdomAll was good.
Quite an unique place to stay. Under 10 minute walk from Coimbra-A train station easy to find. Amazing place on entering. Very helpful at reception and I was happy to receive a nice bottle of beer with my key-card. Amazing carpet along thd communal corridor. The wooden floor and walls made the room. Very modern down to the light switches and air conditioning controls. Spacious shower room. It was a damp day outside, about 16c but very warm inside. My room was 24c but the air conditioning brought it down to 18c. Took me a while to figure out how to use the controls but I had been linked up to WhatsApp advice number who would have helped had I needed them. I had a great meal at the adjacent Zero restaurant, where I had breakfast the follow morning.

CanadaI can't think of anything.
I loved the hotel concept. It is different of what you are used to. The staff was super friendly! We loved the welcome package of two branded cold beers (I was sold at that point ^^). The rooms were small but enough if you are not carrying more than a carry on per person. It is perfect if you don't want to be bothered by the noise of the street as you don't have windows and it's well isolated. It was perfect for us to battle the jet lag. The breakfast was very good! they had DIY pancakes and crepes, and you have a nice variety of food and nicely displayed. We had some cocktails from the bar at night and there were very good too. The restaurant located on the top, were you have breakfast, is super cool with a funky decor. We were very impressed and would definitely stay again :)
