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 StatesThere was a refrigerated tractor trailer parked outside our room. It started up every hour and ran for about 15 minutes. It was loud and woke us up every time it started. We complained at the desk when we checked out and were told they would see what they could do for us. It was VERY disappointing that we couldn't get a decent night's sleep.
Didn't have it.

IsraelFor me the biggest issue was the price. First of all, the hotel was in shambles since they were in the middle of construction. We were shocked by the appearance when we first got there and left a bad taste in our mouths. They should have offered reduced pricing during this time. Again, the room itself was nice and clean but the general experience was negative. It was also very expensive for a hotel outside of Bar Harbor. While it is only about 20 minutes away we still paid a premium price.
Its a bit tricky reviewing this place since we got there while they were in the middle of construction/upgrades. As such, certain areas were full of building materials and dust. Additionally the parking lot was full of building materials. And also full of potholes. Once you got passed that initial shock the hotel itself was nice. The breakfast was just ok. Not elaborate. The room itself was spacious and clean. We had a room with a mini kitchen which we really used and found it perfect for our needs. Beds were ok - not the best beds we ever had. Not the worst either. There is a supermarket literally 30 seconds away walking distance which was also very helpful. Ellsworth is about 20 minutes outside Bar Harbour so getting back and forth was not bad.

United StatesThere are a couple of areas that I found less-than-perfect. However, they did not affect my satisfaction with our stay. The only reason that I rated Facilities as Good rather than Excellent is the fact that some sections of the property are under renovation, including a couple sections of the public areas. However, those sections were clean and had no obstructions or barriers to accessing other public areas. The hotel staff and renovation staff have done as good a job as possible to minimize the impact of the current renovation work on the ability of the guests to use and enjoy the property. WiFi was free, and it worked well for basic internet activities, but signal strength varied from time to time, and it disconnected briefly on occasion. This was at most a very minor inconvenience for me when using YouTube to watch some videos. I did not try using video streaming services or an MMORPG. The only reason I rated Value as Good rather than Excellent is the fact that the cost per night was a little higher than I would have liked. However, my stay was during high tourist season for the area, and the price was fair and within the range that I expected for the type of property and its amenities, the area, and the season.
I especially appreciate the courtesy and helpfulness of the front-desk staff, especially for immediately noticing and accommodating the mobility issues of one member of our party by offering to move us from a 2nd-floor room to a 1st-floor room. I had failed to mention the mobility issue when making our reservation. The property does feature a stair lift from the first-floor guest level to the main lobby and breakfast room. The self-service breakfast buffet was what we expected, and the staff there were wonderful. Our stay was only one night, and we were in town for a family event, so we didn't have the opportunity to make use of the in-room kitchenettes other than storing a couple of cold drinks in the full-size refrigerator. The kitchenette reminded me of the amenities in a by-the-week timeshare that we use regularly, and I would happily use the kitchenette during a multi-day stay in the future.

United StatesOur sink and tub didn’t drain well. And our heater blew cold air, but fortunately it was warm enough in room we didn’t need the heat. Also, I don’t understand why there’s no exhaust fan in bathroom to use when taking a shower.
Location to where we needed to visit was perfect. Also, staff was very friendly! Especially Nancy who took care of the breakfast area! She was always keep things clean and stocked. And was super friendly. We met her last year when we were here and look forward to seeing her again next year.
