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 StatesI couldn’t get a receipt. They told me i’d get one from booking.com and i never got one. I have never had that excuse or gotten a bill from Booking. Drinks in plastic glasses in the lounge? Seriously? What an insult at those prices! Staff in the lounge/restaurant rude, unfriendly…made us sit in a specific area because they didn’t want to walk to a different table? Never heard of such a thing at a supposed high end restaurant! We are adults…not college kids who throw glasses. Except for location, this was a first-class disappointment.
The location is terrific! The room was clean and comfortable.

United StatesThe room was a bit sterile for my taste. I would have liked to have a rug or carpet when getting out of bed. Or something in the room that helps it feel a little cozier. I'm not an interior designer so I'll leave that to them! :)
The location is amazing. I was there for the college visit day and you can't find a better hotel location, as you know!

United StatesI was surprised to be charged $3 for a muffin (dated 3 days old) and $2 for a coffee sitting in the lobby. Not complimentary??? I’ve paid more for a room at a chain hotel and received a hot complimentary breakfast. The stairwell to the roof top bar smelled like somebody vomited the night before.
The location can’t be beat if you want to walk along campus. This was my first time to stay here. I have had catered meals here and my expectations were met.

United StatesBar closed at 10 without letting us know so we couldn’t get a drink. Night front desk girl was NOT helpful with issues. Rude & dismissive. TV in room did not work and no one would fix it. No cups, etc in room, only a single ice bucket. Eventually given a different room but we would not move to that un-remodeled room with a torn chair and bad vibes.
Gorgeous views. Beautiful architecture. Great lobby.

United StatesBar, restaurant were closed. No instruction on correctly operating TV. No in-room microwave; no in-room phones. Written messages were provided for lack of amenities (supply chain issues; COVID safety, etc.), but other hotels seem to have already overcome these issues in providing customer service.
Architecture, view from 5th floor amazing! Comfortable bed; plenty outlets for devices.

United StatesWhen we got to our room the door was wide open and there was trash in the room and trash cans. Check in was at four and we got here at about three, but we called three hours prior and they said anytime after one would be fine. The bathroom was horribly dirty, and again the pictures of the room online are completely different than the actual room.
I am not one to complain but this room was nothing like the photos on any website and I am extremely disappointed that I spent this much money on a nice hotel for it to be completely different from the 217 dollar room i rented.
