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 StatesNo breakfast and the elevators are a little annoying when you have a lot of luggage. The rooms are small and showers too but it’s a cute hotel I would still stay again!
Free drink on the hotel. Clean and nice!

AustraliaFor the price of the stay, I would expect daily water, wifi and tea/coffee/milk to be included, as is offered for most hotels. Some transparency in disclosing the $25 daily fee for the above-mentioned amenities at the time of booking would be nice, not after booking.
The hotel is very well refurbished, maintaining the vintage charm and homely feel. It is also exceptionally clean.

United StatesPlease keep in mind that the elevator is original to the hotel, so it is very old school and can be slow. The air conditioning is minimal but bearable. So if you’re like me, and like the cold at night. It could an adjustment.
The decoration, the ambience, the staff was amazing. The room was exceptional as well.

ItalyRoom very small with no closet space. The service at the restaurant was super slow. The valet parking service was slow as well but the manager on the day of checking out made the guesture of not charging the last day of parking to compensate for the ling wait. The mattress was soft and worn. An uncomfortable sleep.

United StatesSpeaking of it being a historic property... I wouldn't recommend it for families. We traveled with my four and seven year old and it just isn't made to accomade them well. The A/C never seemed to work correctly in our room, which I think because of the hotel's age, the room ran pretty hot. It's also not a kid-friendly neighborhood, which I should have known before booking, but I didn't realize until we got there. Lastly, the $60 or so for valet was frustratingly high. I ended up at a garage down the street for $14 a night, but the inconvenience of it all was annoying.
Firstly, this is a gorgeous hotel. I didn't realize this was on the more historical side of things (more on that later), so to stay in a historic stop, in a popular neighborhood was amazing. The staff was very helpful and kind and the room was clean and the perfect size for our family of four.

AustraliaIt was living amongst nightclubs with no sound proofing. 10pm-3am clubbing every night. Closed windows despite lovely shades were as if they were not there. No sleep until 3am each day. Hard if you were not clubbing yourself.
The retro decor was special, staff was nice. Toiletries excellent. Very close to excellent popular Tacos shop!

IsraelThe room was excessively noisy at night, and although earbuds were provided, they were not conducive to a comfortable sleep; additionally, the old elevator resulted in extended wait times for accessing the room.
The style of the hotel and room was really nice, featuring an espresso machine in the room, and the staff were friendly.

United StatesUnexpected "destination fee" of $25 per day. No outside view from the room. It felt almost like being in a nice closet. The sofa-bed was awful. No help to set it up. The staff wouldn't even help to put the duvet cover. They just gave a set of linens in a plastic bag and pretty much said good luck. The elevator is horrendous. No phone charging near bed. Even with extension chord it wasn't possible.
Clean rooms. Excellent quality of linens, toiletries. Great shower.
