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 StatesNo shower curtain. Tub took literally hours to drain from a short shower. The window was broken and would not close so it let out all the AC through out my stay. When I told the front desk, she said I must not be doing it right. (I was able to work all the other windows, just for reference)

United StatesThe bed frame was larger than the bed, I cracked my leg on the bottom leg too many times. Parking, which is a necessary extra expense, was a tight fit~
Great little oasis in the back, looked like in a lush private area, but was actually in the heart of Waikiki.

United KingdomOutdoor pool bar didn't sell alcohol but you were allowed to bring your own alcohol to the outdoor pool area. Could have had sports on the TV outside.
Great location, 3mins from the beach. Rooms are a great size. Swimming pool, hot tub & outdoor area had a true Hawaiian feel to the hotel. Excellent value for money. Hotel staff were very helpful.

United StatesThis hotel may be showing its age, it possesses an undeniable potential that, with a much-needed makeover, could transform it into a true hidden gem. The initial room we got had issues where the fridge didn't work and the AC was wonky, but it was resolved quickly.
I recently had the opportunity to stay at Castle Bamboo Waikiki, and I must admit, my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. While the property is a bit outdated, it has a lot of potential and the location is undeniably great. Walking distance to many places to eat, shop and of course the beach. The shining gem of this establishment is undoubtedly the exceptional General Manager, Wade who was helpful because of an issue we had in our initial room.

AustraliaAccommodation in Waikiki (and all Hawaii) is super expensive, so nowhere is cheap. But, compared with other hotels this place represented good value. Staff were awesome, location was great. The pool and bar area were really nice and relaxing - an oasis with palm trees to retreat to from the Waikiki traffic and noise.

United StatesBad customer service, the elevator didn’t work not one day out of the whole vacation we were there. No room service. Not once did we get new towels or a clean room.
The property itself is beautiful, the pool and the workers in the restaurant in the pool were awesome, now they’re different from the staff of the hotel, the staff from hotel is a different story.

SwitzerlandThe room we booked as shown in booking.com isn't the same. This hotel is being advertised as hotel but it isn't. Its is an apartment hotel. Room are ot veung cleaned. You have to request and they will only clean 1x per 7 days. Floor carpeting is very dirty. For the price qe paid for there are other better hotels in the area. Not recommending this hotel to our friends and families Bath tub leaking. Only one elevator working . It was faster to take the emergency stairs.

SpainSadly we spent 3.5 weeks with only one elevator out of two, as they were refurbishing them. It would have been great if they had done the works faster considering it was July and it took forever to wait for it and there are no available stairs (why? To be able to use stairs if we wish would be nice 😊)
The room was very nice, with the bamboo feeling like nice retreat ambient, we had better room than requested, maybe because we upgraded to mountain view on the last minute and that was the one available... The staff was definitely the best, helpful, nice, friendly, polite and on top of everything, they helped a great deal when we extended our stay one whole week and they managed to give us the same room regardless of hotel being fully booked in high season. The swimming pool was just as in the pictures, nice place to chill and relax after a day of hiking and exploring. Food was good and they had vegan option which is all we needed ☺️ The views of the mountains every morning having our coffee was compelling. I doubt I will be looking for another place to stay if I am lucky enough to come back to O'ahu any time soon :D

New ZealandThe hotel is undergoing renovations which have been going on for some time. The rooms seem to be completed but one lift was out while work was going on, so slow at times. Overall though they're bringing it up to scratch and doesn't take away from the feel of the hotel.
Location is perfect and I've stayed at Bamboo a few times before so aware of facilities and location. Room was biggest I've ever had at the hotel - probably a bit too much space for 1 person but perfectly clean and good kitchenette facilities. Handy to the beach - handy to everything. I love that part of Waikiki.

The location was very convenient to the beach, shopping areas, food places.

Location was only 2 blocks from the beach. It also had a couple of nice small restaurants nearby.
