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 StatesThe only thing I didn’t like about the property was the bathroom doors you could see into the bathroom. It was barn style doors which were beautiful but had a gap at the back end.
I really liked how the staff made it extremely easy for my family and me. From check in to check out they were always available and help to answer any questions and gave great recommendations.

United KingdomHidden $30 destination charge per room! Breakfast had run our of most things by the time we had got there, considering you have to $30, you don't get a lot for money! Noisy Truck left idling outside at 3am for 10-15 minutes! Escalators still broken in the lobby! see the google reviews, this is an ongoing issue!!
Location was great for what we needed. Other than that I can't say anything more positive about this place. Nothing more positive to say Having to add extra text here as a filler to be able to submit review.

United StatesWe booked a suite in advance and therefore paid a great price according to what was offered in the images. The view of the Harbor. However, to our surprise we were placed in a suite at the back of the hotel with a view of the square and a small part of the harbor. We were disappointed. The hotel tried to move us to a suite without a window lol offering a King bed, that doesn't exist! In the end we stayed in suite 710 at the back, we didn't see the fireworks as we planned and they gave us a $100 grif card to spend at the restaurant. But our expectation of making a new reservation will be very low for this time of year.
The hotel has a wonderful structure, very attentive staff.

United StatesI thought the hotel would have been much nicer for the price we paid. Room is way over priced. Air conditioner didn’t work the whole stay. Someone came and check it but it still didn’t work. You offered us a fan for a 450.00 a night room. Also the bath tub was very slippery we actually had to put a towel down inside the tub cause my daughter almost fell the first night showering there. Another thing we didn’t like is every where we ever stayed and that has been quite a few Hotels we never had the maid come in every day. And it seemed like it was a must which I didn’t think that was right. If we don’t want them coming in every day that should be our choice. Why couldn’t we just tell them what we needed. There were not very many options in the hotel for the price. Our first time staying at a Marriott and it will be our last. Thank you for listening to my experience with you.
It was good but way to high priced for what you had available at the buffet.

United StatesThe L and LL on the elevators caused major confusion amongst the guests. It’s literally what everyone talks about when trying to figure out which floor to select.
The location is excellent, the valet parking is great. There were two false fire alarms in one day, one was at 2 am and both led to partial evacuations.

United KingdomThe ceiling is very low. The whole room is far from what it looks like in the photos. The front desk man who checked us in gave us a room with a broken bathroom door. When we called them again from the room and said the room number, they said they knew that room. Thus, if some of the staff were aware of the broken door why they still gave it to me? The good side is that they changed the room for us and upgraded it for us.
The bed is comfortable, and the room is very clean. The location is very good.

EgyptThe hotel needs an overall refurbishment. The staff was not that friendly. I was travelling alone for business, and at check-in, the receptionist was pushing too much to get me to pay an additional usd 400 per night to get the presidential suit.
The location is the best thing about this hotel, and if you are lucky and get a room with an ocean view, it would be a big plus.

United StatesPillows were very tough to sleep on and pool towels old, small and rough. Started off with nice white ones then changed to older ones. With a stripe. Horrible! Mini fridge didn’t work. We called and maintenance came up immediately. Turned the knob on but still never cooled enough to use😔 Pool is quite small for size of hotel and we were there during school vacation. So pool was packed! We only took our kids in at 7:30 AM! So if that’s important to your family might want to look for a hotel with a regular size pool.
Location was excellent for families! Buffet breakfast and Waterline menu very good. Kids selection better than all other restaurants we went to( pizza a plus!)

United States1) When we arrived, we were a little ignored. 2) There were so so many people around inside & outside of the hotel. 3) The nightstands were a little dirty. 4) There was some trash behind the trash bin in the bathroom. (I forgot other things about what was dirty when we arrived) 5) it does not look like a hotel that cost $1615 for 2 nights without WiFi included ( some hotels in DC & VA like the Ritz-Carlton in VA for example will cost around $600 for 2 nights, and it looks tremendously better and super clean than that). 6) they charge another fee on top of what you pay on booking.com when you get there.
1) Almost closed to everything. 2) it looks same as the pictures.
