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 StatesThe shower was messed up, water burnt me. shower was super tiny like something you find in Europe. There is too much light in the hallway it was glaring into our room through the night. It was not that clean. Fair price would’ve been about $105.
Location and price even though they charged $20. Extra. Staff was nice and facility seemed safe.

United StatesThat I had to wait till exactly 3:00 to get a downstairs room, but a man came behind me and got a downstairs room. Figure that one out. I explained that I had a bad knee, but would only give me an upstairs room for early check in. I get there tired and hurting, the key didn’t work, I asked a housekeeper for help because I didn’t not want to go up and down the stairs only to find a room that smelled of smoke
First room I was given was upstairs and it smelled like someone was smoking 🙃

United StatesThe bed was dirty and room not cleaned since 9/24. The linen smelled soiled/used , the sink had mens hair in it and around the faucet. The cable went out and completely out 4 hrs after checking in. The clerk ,Zen, she was rude and unprofessional. Instead of keeping the customer happy, she decided to be rude, expected Mee to stay in an occupied room without it being sterilized. She assigned Mee an occupied room in which my friend and I opened the door to a couple in bed, she refused to answer the phone when I was trying to let her know the cable was out. She ignored my call after standing in front of the office waiting for her to answer. She never did answer..

United KingdomNot much room in the room. Two beds plus 3 guests with large suitcases was a squeeze.
Budget motel but for the price, it was very well maintained (except the drains that overflowed into our room so we had to be moved) but even that was well handled.

United StatesWas only offered rooms on second or third floor we choose 2nd floor because they don't have an elevator so you got to hike all your stuff up those flights. Was kinda miffed also where she put us there is no parking anywhere near the room so no elevator and now a trek from the parking lot. The pillows and the bed were like rocks not everyone likes extra firm every thing. The bathroom vent was very noisy like it's on its last leg. The rooms are so small the 2 beds were almost touching each other differently not designed for 2 full size beds. I have stayed at many motel 6 locations and this was the smallest by far. The funny thing was the bathroom was huge it could have been half the size and made the bed area bigger.
Friendly staff quick check in and check out. The location was near what we were doing. The room was clean and there were plenty of towels.
