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.).

AustraliaFor a new hotel there was NO lift, if this is important to you. Breakfast was basic but sufficed. WI FI kept dropping out. As there are only two hotels in El Jem, this one is about a 41-minute walk out of the town. Basically, in the middle of nowhere. You need to get reception to call you a taxi and it is about a 15-minute wait. However, it served it's purpose. Hotel Julius is right next to the train station and the amphitheatre.
Nice new hotel and friendly staff.

ItalyUnfortunately, the restaurant and the bar do not match the quality of the hotel.
The hotel is really well kept, perfectly neat and in order. Far above Tunisian standards to be honest. Personnel very educated and available.

United KingdomThe rooms were cold. It seemed like they were doing their best to be an upmarket hotel but a lot missing, I had to ask for wifi code, tv wasnt working, no instructions about anything in the room, not even fire escape information. No bin in the bathroom. Staff did their best but need a bit more training. No one on checkout when I left. No lift, so you may have to carry bags up a few flights of stairs. Quite a way out of town.
It is trying to be a boutique hotel but just missing the mark a bit. Good clean rooms, Breakfast excellent

CanadaHad to purchase an additional room or find an alternative because I was traveling with friends of the opposite gender. It you're going to El Jem, there's a hotel that's much closer to the monument.
The water pressure, heat and facilities were spotless. The hotel is dead quiet and remote.

Hong KongAt the time of my booking, it indicates that there is a swimming pool, however it is not exist in reality, I suppose it is under construction, I can see some excavation work at the back yard of the hotel. The facilities in the room is really undesirable, the worst I met in my 21 days trip in Tunisia, just list some: 1. no air conditioning - you got central circulation of air without air conditioning; 2. broken chair provide in side; 3. no glass in room, 4. sliding door to balcony cant be locked; 5. no lift to upper floor. The breakfast and dinner is something below average, the staff for the dinner is invisible, you have either find the opposite fast food stall staff to find him or you find him in the kitchen !!! The food quality of the dinner is really below average in Tunisia.
The welcome drink is good idea to please guest. There are not many guest at the time of our stay, it is really quiet, the hotel is located at a place about 5 minutes away from town and there is no building around so it is very safe with a guard controlled gate for in and out.

United KingdomI didn't like that the second bed in our twin room was not made up properly (sheet arranged in a way that was not useable, just artistically arranged). You don't expect to have to make your own bed in a 4*hotel. I pointed this out and the guy just pointed to thick duvet in cupboard. Ideally a light blanket option would be nice for the spring. Bedside lights didn't work at all (neither of them). No lift, despite looking for it and asking staff, so if you are disabled ask for ground floor room (most were first or second floor). We found it inappropriate that a member of staff in his 20s would give his personal contact details to 2 married women in their 50s and 80s who he had only just met and shown to their room. This is disrespectful and frankly, a bit creepy.
New hotel, building of high quality, nice rooms, nice shower, enjoyed the balcony, good view, quiet as away from town centre. Lovely breakfast and friendly cafe staff. Had a play area for children.
