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 StatesPurchased the option on booking with breakfast included for 4 people. The desk workers forgot to include the coupons for the stay during check in and we had to prove later that we reserved with that option included in the price. So maybe work on something with the hotel so it shows when people reserve a room with breakfast.
Loved how friendly the staff was, loved that the pool was open, and the rooms were very nice!

United StatesWhen I sat down to breakfast, I was the only person in the dining room. An order was taken for an omelet. In the meantime, I served myself an English muffin (and had time to toast it), fruit, and tepid breakfast sausages links. I ate all, drank coffee, and the omelet still hadn’t arrived. When I told the server, just to cancel that order, he just said “Oh , ok. Sorry about that” So I ended up paying $12 for a really mediocre breakfast. I would, in the future, go to a real breakfast restaurant rather than getting a disappointing meal at this location. Only giving an 8 in the rating because of this unfortunate end to my stay.
It was clean. I didn’t spend too much time in the common areas, pool, etc. so I can’t comment on those.

United StatesWe had a dirty sock and some bottle lids on the floor. Next to no toliet paper as well. It was also really dark with not a lot of lighting but honestly the sock was really bothersome. If a sock is missed what else was all we could think about. Also the bar restaurant was advertised incorrectly. It was not what we expected, much smaller.
Liked the snack and beverage options. Did not eat the breakfast but it did look really good!

United StatesUnder construction, hall ways were 100 degrees. We were at the very end of the hall with plastic sheeting up. Impossible to keep the room cool. Noisy little air conditioner leaked all over the carpet. No pool, but we were not told this when we checked in. Came down for dinner and there was no cook. We had to go back out to eat. Again, not mentioned when we checked in. Could have stayed somewhere cheaper and gotten the same thig or better.
The grounds and lobby looked great. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good.

Three staff members assisted the customer ahead of me at check in while I waited for 45 min. the happy hour and breakfast did not start on time which was a disappointment esp. for breakfast since we originally planned to eat at the hotel but had to go elsewhere since we had an appointment we could not be late for.
