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.).

PolandHotel below expectations. For the price I expected a higher standard. On the first night we were checked into a different room than we booked - in a room with 1 bed, despite the fact that we were traveling with 2 children. On the second day we were allowed to move to the originally booked room. After negotiations, we were compensated.
The location of the hotel is very good.

United StatesPhotos do not necessarily represent room or even bed accommodations correctly. Hotel is a bit dated/worn for price. You are paying for location and hopefully the good staffing.
Great location to beach, pier, downtown restaurants and shops. Loved that bikes are available for guests. Breakfast was good. Staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful.

United StatesCheck-in was very 'faulty towers' like. Arrived at 2pm, told room wouldnt be long. Receivied a call at 4:45pm and given a room with 1 king bed for 2 adults and 2 children, although I booked a King with queen sofa. The girl at the desk with the 'lashes' told me I have to deal with the 3rd party agent, booking.com myself becuase they dont have those rooms...? I showed her my booking and she flatly told me they dont have those rooms. She offered me 1 single roll away for 2 children.. After expressing my disappointment, the manager came out after another 20 mnutes of waiting to say he did actually have these rooms but one wouldnt be available till later that night, so we moved into the first room, had showers and went to dinner and came back and changed room at 9pm.. Apart from this experience, the actual hotel is nice with great location. It seems the management and cleaning system needs an overhaul, as does the attitude of the girl at the desk.
Great location, King rooms with sofa are a nice size, and the bike loan system is great. We rode up to Venice beach and had some lunch and watched the skateboarding. Pool looked nice but it was so windy when we there that we didnt make use of it.

CanadaThe weather was cold and so the pool wasn’t inviting. I would have liked to swim if temperate was increased. Also there was drilling/construction happening on property in day which made relaxing at poolside hard.
Location was the best. The breakfast was excellent and included in our stay package which we were happy for. Loved the cruiser bikes which were also included. Did lots of exploring on them. And staff were all amazing and helpful.
