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.).

ThailandWiFi was unreliable, didn't work half the time. It was usually ok during the day but not at night. This was a constant for a few days, not a one-time issue. The room is in need of maintenance, maybe a thorough overhaul. If flaking walls, scruffy fixtures and an occasional hair turn you off, pick another place. In the mornings, smells from downstairs (cooking and cigarette smoke) would pass through my upper-floor room. The room is small, fine for one person, but would be too tight for two.
Fantastic location, close to a tram stop and walking distance from major tourist attractions. Friendly staff. Nice big window and a comfortable bed. Reasonably clean, with daily cleaning. Cute kittens out front.

Location is very good. Tram stop, Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet are near. Walking distance to ferry boats and spice bazaar. Faruk was very friendly and helpful. Everything was easy to deal with him when our flight was late. Breakfast was basic but ok. We liked the cozy atmosphere of this place. Could easily go back again😊

Little hotel with amazing location near all of the main places and historical monuments. Tramway, shopping, restaurants - everything is just a few meters from hotel. Location is quiet, the staff is very nice, breakfast was so tasty. Cute cats are all around and they also have a little house in front of hotel. Nice place to stay. It was not luxurious, but the price-quality ratio was fine. We liked it there.

KazakhstanThe rooms are very small. The furniture is a bit old, in general the rooms need some renovation work. The drain hole in the shower was clogged and the water got accumulated on the shower floor. Also there's no light inside the shower cabin. There were no bulbs in the wall lamps next to the bed - I informed the owner, he promised to fix the issue but unfortunately this problem was not solved during my stay. Also there's a smell constantly coming from the bathroom - I mostly kept the door closed. The stairs between the floors are a bit challenging - you should be very careful when using them.
I loved the location and the staff: the hotel is not easy to find, it's in a small and narrow yard, you have to go down the steps. First time I arrived there, the taxi driver left me on the main street saying he couldn't drive closer to the hotel, so I struggled a bit trying to define the hotel's exact location, a man passing by asked whether I needed any help, then he showed me the location of the hotel. The location of the hotel is just perfect - you can just walk to many main tourist places. There are many cafes, restaurants and mini markets nearby. The personnel - Mr Faroukh and the lady who was cleaning the rooms and preparing breakfast were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned daily, the towels can be changed upon request. Breakfasts were very good + you can fill bottles with water from the water dispenser. I also loved that the room had a refrigerator and kettle with cups and glasses. The reception area is very cozy - I loved the art corner with books, drawings and glass crafts. The hotel is located in a quiet place - we had a comfortable sleep. As a cat person I loved the presence of beautiful cats there.
