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.).

Friendly and quick desk, they upgraded us to a huge king room. No smell, bed was great, and it was very clean. We use "budget" hotels often, this is the nicest room we've gotten at this price point. The walls are thin, otherwise I genuinely could not ask for more. (I copied my own review from Google into Booking)

United StatesI will start off by saying that I have stayed at my share of dives and enjoy finding diamonds in the rough when it comes to booking new places. I am not one to complain, all I need are very basic things, a clean room and bed and I’m happy. I came here with my mother and my son over the weekend for 1 night to visit Ocean Beach park. The sign is in rough shape, no biggie. We walk in and it’s smells strongly of cigarette smoke, our room however smelled much better aside from the bathroom being Smokey, no biggie. My son took a shower when we got to the room because we had spent the day on the beach and wanted to wash up. A half hour later his feet were black from walking in the room barefoot. At this point we are all starting to notice bug bites. We held off just thinking that maybe we had gotten them on the beach. I end up taking a shower and get ready for bed. Almost immediately my mother and myself are just getting bit up and my son who is now sleeping has one on the side of his face. I HATE complaining, I won’t even send my food back at a restaurant but this was really bad. it was surprising because the mattresses were new and super comfy and the staff were very nice. We ended up leaving the hotel at 9:45pm with a sleeping 7 year old to go pay double to stay last minute at a holiday inn in new london. My son has 2 heart conditions and I just couldn’t risk trying to overlook really big problems. Out of the 10+years I’ve been booking through Booking.com I’ve never had to complain Nevermind leave any type of lodging due to conditions. It was a very disappointing and quite frankly gross experience.
The staff were very nice.

United StatesThe facility does need some work, but it wasn't an issue. As other reviews said, the lobby does smell like smoke; however, the hallway do not and room did not. I think it is the outdoor smoking area is coming in open windows.
Kim was so fantastic! We were going to be late coming in and it would be after the front desk normally closes. Kim immediately said "no problem". She had us ring her when we arrived and was so sweet despite the late hour. The place is a great value for the area! Most hotels in the area are $200-$400/night. This was only $128/night and perfect for just a place to crash after a long day. It was clean, which is the most important thing to me.

United StatesI booked two queen sized beds, and the booking said that continental breakfast would be available. We received two twin beds and there was no continental breakfast. The property was in such poor repair that I didn't bother complaining about the twin beds- I was afraid to see what other room they would put me in. In my room, the tub drained poorly and the light above the sink didn't work. The hall smelled like smoke. Much of the property was in disrepair. If not for the cancelation fee, we would have left after the first night.
The staff, when available, were friendly.
