How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Parking is really expensive, and the room isn’t cheap. Wish they had a better option than 20 bucks a night for parking.

We were unaware the hotel gym was on the 3rd floor of the hotel, and our room happened to be on the 2nd floor. At 6 am on Saturday morning we were awakened by continuous loud banging. After this went on for over an hour and completely disrupted our sleep/stay, my husband went down to talk to the front desk. They told him others had complained as well, and it was another hotel guest using the gym and dropping the weights on the floor. It was so loud you could hear the banging in the hotel lobby. The staff said they talked to the guest making the noise, however that did no good because it continued the entire time we were packing up to leave. The front desk did offer to pay for our breakfast, but we just wanted out of there at that point. Very disappointing to have what was supposed to be a relaxing stay ruined by their inability to enforce gym rules/etiquette. They should have refunded our room.
Very clean and new. Beautiful property.

The shower is the worst shower I’ve ever been in! The water saver is so efficient that it takes almost a minute just to wash your face because there is just a little itty bit of water that comes out! it takes around 1 minute to get warm water to come out as well. The barn door set up for the bathroom/closet is a really bad design because I hit my wife twice with the door coming out of the bathroom while she was getting clothes out of the closet. Super bad design! I never read anywhere that said we had to pay for parking which is $22.00 per day! Ouch.

google maps gives the wrong location for the hotel so it was difficult to locate at night. we had an early departure at 0600 and any breakfast offerings were not available until 0700 so we didn’t get anything to eat before leaving. should consider starting breakfast at 0600.
lovely boutique hotel. beautifully decorated. very comfortable bed and pillows. very friendly staff.

No info in room regarding restaurants or room service. The pillows were nice and fluffy, but flattened out when we slept, had to add towels and fold pillows in half. Couldn't go to rooftop bar due to staffing shortage.
Breakfast sandwich was great! Lobby and outside areas decorated nice and lots of room. Decor in the room was relaxing and room was quiet. Very clean room and hotel!

I hated to see the valet and the doorman having to stand out in the cold and the fierce winds they had that weekend. Please build them a little shelter or let them stand inside.
Absolutely beautiful place and super clean! I loved the way it was decorated and the cranberry muffin at the little cafe was so good!
