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.).

BangladeshDuring my stay at Awfad Hotel, I found the location to be perfect as it is situated in the central part of the city. The room provided was comfortable and well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay. Additionally, the breakfast served at the hotel was delicious and of good quality, adding to the overall positive experience.

United KingdomThe walls are not soundproof. You can hear the conversation of people staying in the next room very clearly. Had an issue with the noise level next door. the tv was on full on the day we checked untl 12 noon the next day. I complained to reception and was offered to move to another room, which was inconvenient to us. I would have preferred if management had taken action by asking the gentlemen next door to lower the volume of the tv in the early hours when I called reception to notify them of the issue. The other issue I had was that the pillow on my bed smelled of sweat. The pillow covers were clean, but the pillow itself reeked of body sweat. I called housekeeping to replace it, which they did, but the replacement pillow also smelled bad. I had to sleep without one for the entire stay. Management should really get someone to replace or clean the actual pillows properly. Replacing the covers doesn't make it clean. Finally, if you need to order a taxi, I would advise you to download the Uber app as the hotel reception does not provide a taxi call service. There are taxi apps that are cheaper than Uber.. Jenny and Creem app. If you decide to stop a green taxi on the road, make sure you ask them to start the meter before you get in as it can end up being more expensive. Just keep in mind that rush hour in Riyadh starts around 4 pm, and traffic can get bad..
All the staff were welcoming and very helpful, especially Sultana and Reema, and the on duty manager on reception. Location was a great, short distance by taxi to most malls and restaurants/cafes. There is also free WiFi, gym, and pool on the roof top, which I didn't use. Breakfast was great, plenty of variety - arabic, continental, and American. On the day we checked out, they opened a cafe on the ground floor. Nice area to chill. Overall, it was a great stay except for a few things, but I would definitely stay there again if I ever went back to Riyadh.

CanadaPictures generally show what the rooms look like, but the rooms are actually somewhat old, worn down and not fully maintained. You can see it in the details. We also had only a small window, which seems to be the case for most all of the rooms (when looking from the outside of the building), so little natural light. There was also lots of confusion with our stay. Although I booked for me and my wife, they only marked 1 person down for breakfast. We also had 3 different people contact us (at the door, on the phone) in the morning to ask if we were checking out and, if so, how many people were checking out....very strange since our booking was only until that day and why would only one of us check out and not the other.
Bed was comfortable. AC worked well. Underground parking was plenty and easily accessible. Breakfast was extensive and really good. Location was good for the centre of the city.

Saudi ArabiaHowever, I believe improvements can be made in a couple of areas. Firstly, the Wi-Fi connection in my room was not as reliable as expected, which can be frustrating for business travellers. Ensuring a stable and fast internet connection is crucial in today's world. Secondly, while the overall cleanliness of the hotel was good, I did notice some minor maintenance issues in the corridors and common areas. These included scuffed walls and worn-out carpeting, which could be addressed to maintain the hotel's impeccable appearance.
In general, my experience at your hotel was quite positive. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the staff at the front desk were courteous and welcoming. I appreciated their professionalism and willingness to assist with any inquiries or requests. My room at the hotel was good, decorated, and well-appointed. The comfortable bed provided a restful night's sleep, and the amenities in the bathroom were good. The hotel's dining options were also good. I enjoyed dining at one of the on-site restaurants, and the food was both delicious. The restaurant staff demonstrated exceptional service and knowledge of the menu.

BelgiumThe room decor was very "clinical" and funiture fittings were of poor quality and a little tired. Laundry servicies were expensive and the window was too small/narrow to provide sufficient natural light and could not be opened for fresh air.
Centra location and room was clean, bright and quiet. Very good breakfast and pleasant restaurant. Well maintained gym and all standard business hotel amenities.
