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 StatesThey put a man with heart disease and on oxygen upstairs when the motel was informed ahead of time one of my party was on oxygen. Also, after the first night we went out for coffee, and when we returned our room had been cleaned, and the cleaning lady had stolen our groceries, and our possessions (battery charger and phone chargers) were on her cleaning cart. We didn't even stay the second night because one of the party had difficulty accessing the room, plus we were afraid of being robbed again.
Not a damn thing

United StatesIts SO gross. Stinks, bugs crawling around, shower floor was sticky 🤢, hair in the sink, breakfast was just pitiful. It was packaged snack cakes, a few bananas and there was a waffle maker for those who enjoy (I personally don’t) and the coffee was unbearable. This place should be ashamed of themselves for renting rooms for the price we paid. I was robbed. It needs to shut down & do a complete rebuild. At check in a bub crawled across papers on the desk and the guy just looked at it and acted like nothing was going on. GROSS

United StatesDidn't like? hotel is to be non-smoking. The halls smelled like smoke and the room we were going to stay in was heavy with smoke smell. We gagged when in that room. The tv wasn't working, maybe something wrong with the remote. I took it to the front desk. I eventually talked with the front desk and Booking.com to get a refund on a room that wasn't acceptable. We also found out that this place had about 80 rooms and they could only use about 40. Something was wrong with the other rooms--not having been cleaned, maybe some plumbing problems, maybe not enough beds in a room. ????
The front desk, Jeff, was extremely helpful. The property was not acceptable and he worked with us to get a refund.

United StatesStaff was rude and didn’t care about issues. I booked a room and requested handicap accessible room because I use a power chair. They put me on the 2nd floor and there was no elevator. The room was “OK”, but there was mold/ mildew in the shower and around the base of the shower outside.

United Stateswas given a room that was never cleaned and used, I called the office and their answer was I don’t have another room with two beds that’s all we have. We got the room at 2 am to sleep a few hours and then get back in the road and with this kind of problems had no time to argue. But I don’t understand why was I allow to book a room they did not have available because soonest I walk in he said they didn’t have my room available then he got me this one witch was never cleaned after it was used.

United StatesThis property needs to be excluded from booking.com. I learned (from the sister motel where we were sent) that frequently this super 8 gives away the room to another party that is booked on booking.com. I spent an hour at the desk waiting for the receptionist to find me the room I booked. Finally she gave me a single bed room instead of the two bed room. Then she finally said I need to cancel the booking on the third party website, then pay again at the sister property. My credit card had not been charged until I arrived and gave it to her. I told her she needs to give me a refund. I argued that I would not get my money back if I cancel. Another guy came and leaned across the counter sticking his face in mine and telling me it is my responsibility to cancel the booking. Imagine that. They screwed up and it becomes my problem. Fortunately I found a number to call in the app and a very nice woman refunded the charge.

United StatesIt was the most nastiest hotels I have ever been to. A run down hotel in the middle of the reservation was better than this one. It smelled really bad between cigarettes and body Oder. The shower has mold and hair in it like it hasn’t been clean in months, the water pressure was very slow, the coffee maker was gross and wasn’t clean, the beds smelled like body odor, the air conditioner wasn’t even working right, it stunk and had dead bugs inside of it. Over all, shut the place down already.
