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.).

QatarThe staff at Minar Hotel went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Their warmth and attentiveness were truly exceptional, exceeding expectations for a 3-star hotel. Their fluency in English and knowledge of the city were invaluable, providing helpful recommendations and assistance throughout our visit. I totally recommend them

United KingdomMy experience staying at Menar was excellent. Ramzan, Salih, Anil and Erai ensured my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always very generous with tea, coffee and snacks and worth mentioning I was travelling with a 2 year old. They did the best they could to ensure all my requests were attended swiftly. Also, Ramzan accommodated us for a late checkout which was commendable as we were quite worried about our little one due to a later flight. This hotel is no less than a 5 star when it comes to customer satisfaction. Thanks for making our stay memorable.

MexicoThere’s nothing bad with the place, just book a room according to your needs, I booked a standard room and was big enough for one person, but wouldn’t share it and would prefer a bigger room if that’s the case
Welcoming and friendly staff (Emir goes above and beyond), very clean facilities, delicious breakfast, close to the Blue Mosque

ColombiaThis has nothing to do with the hotel but since our check out was on labor day, the roads were closed so we booked a taxi as VIP service and even though he took a straight road, he charged us doble.
The staff was very helpful. Especially Emir, he gave us really good tips for our stay.

AustraliaThe couch wasn’t very comfortable as it’s clearly an extra bed. There were no plates or cutlery in the room or a dishcloth to dry cups etc. The staff did supply these immediately when asked.
The staff were very welcoming and very helpful. Our room was very nice and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was lovely. We loved having a kitchen area and the terrace outside our rooms was a great place to sit and watch all the boats come and go. The hotel is an easy walk to all historic sites.
