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 StatesParking at the hotel is not great! We had to go around couple of times to find a parking. It looks like your employees park their cars at the hotel parking. Parking at the hotel up and down SHOULD only be for people that are actually paying for the rooms at the hotel. VERY DISAPPOINTED with the parking only!!!!

PolandThey clean room every third day and despite extending for additional night which was 3rd in row, we were not provided with housekeeping even after assuring we will be provided with a service. They tried to help on front desk but we were already impacted.
Breakfast box provided (one per room to fill with fruits, oat meal and some sweets) + coffee, juice Pool was nice Free parking

New ZealandBuilding maintenance meant there was construction noise during the day. Corridors smelt a bit musty. At night-time there are a few homeless people and it is quite dark.
Beautiful view from the lanai. Pretty gardens and nice restaurants nearby. Large room. Frogs, birds, turtles, eagle ray close by. Breakfast is good value and welcome cocktails a nice touch.

United StatesWhile the room was clean and the staff was very friendly, the hotel could use some updating inside and out. The carpet in the hallway and the room was a bit old. The outside of the building made it seem older but the rooms were fine.
The view was great. If you can get an ocean front room on floors 6-8 you won't be disappointed with the view. The hotel was close to Mauna Kea, the Volcano National Park, the zoo, and many other attractions on the Hilo side of the Big Island. There also were many great beach parks nearby that were good for seeing fish and sea turtles. We loved the little convenience store right outside the hotel and Coconut Island.

United StatesBathroom was not up kept very well: toilet paper holder broken, cracked paint/floor in shower. Wish there was a microwave. It seemed as though a lot of people who were not patrons of the hotel were all over the grounds.
Location was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. I got everything I requested when booking. Food was great. Within walking distance to the beautiful Liliuokalani Gardens, and Coconut Island. Property felt safe and clean.

United StatesThe location is perfect but we were glad to see efforts going on to improve the neighboring properties that have sadly deteriorated. It is too lovely to lose the stunning heritage and beauty of this area— we have faith that things will improve!
Our room was a seventh floor ocean view with two queen beds. It had a spectacular view of Hilo bay and gorgeous grounds with natural lava pools. The room was very large, clean and quiet. It is only steps away from one of the most beautiful parks in Hawaii and a wonderful little art gallery. We loved it!

United StatesAllowing about 30 teenagers to eat their own food in the lobby, to run and make rowdy noise in he corridors of the top floors. This placed your hotel in the bad part of town. It was horrible . I know kids can be noisy, but This is not a good thing in a nice hotel. The Resort Fee is a rip off. The Royal Hawaiin in Honolulu charges more and includes a lot. Yours includes water. This is a rip off
View was really special. Staff really warm and helpful. The restaurant staff were really good.
