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.).

The location is perfect. W/in walking distance to everything. I didn’t use my car once.

United StatesThe hotel was overwhelmed around Christmas and as a result if you had not booked a restaurant in town or in the hotel then you went to bed hungry. Room Service was suspended as the staff were overwhelmed during Christmas, and well that is almost unacceptable. The hotel needs to cater for the higher number of guests and tourists around the Festive Season. Also the restaurant needs a revamp in terms of service (additional staff) and better food.
The location was excellent and the rooms were comfortable. The public areas were nice as well. We did not use much of the facilities as we were out and about. The staff were friendly and responsive. In fact they were great.

United StatesUnderstood the size of the rooms were due to original building structure and historic structure however the room was pretty small. We had difficulty adjusting the heat in the room which made the room a bit stuffy.
Historic venue… centrally located … Spa was by far the best part of the experience there.

United Statesthey charged me $40 to park with a $35 “resort” fee. it was off season so you would think they would want customers to stay at their hotel. What do I need a $35 resort fee in the middle of winter? And parking was not full that time of year. Ridiculous. My159 rate ended up to be close to $300!!

United StatesI was very disappointed to find out upon checkout that valet parking for $40/night. Even during the off season! Valet parking was the only option at this hotel! I would have gladly parked myself but they said they only do valet. Which I was okay with, but when I got my bill I was outraged!

United StatesHave to pay to park, which I personally have never had to pay to park at a hotel I was already paying to staying at. Our room was a very far distance from hotel entrance and had stairs in the middle of the floors which it made it very difficult to transport our luggage using the cart. Our room was also a bit neglected, nothing was plugged in, we had no body wash in shower, had not one extra toilet paper roll, dusty in areas, our mini fridge made a loud buzzing noise and there were small ants in our bathroom and in our bedroom- not infested but definitely enough to notice. Also there were fire pits outside with seating which was nice, but only one worked because all the rest were out of gas.
Property itself was nice, spa was great, pool and hot tub area nice and open late which was great. Also good location.

United StatesWe always request a room on a higher floor for a view. Hotel Viking has five floors we were on the fourth floor. The view was ok. The room and the bathroom were extremely small. Bathroom had no vanity to place your toiletry bag. I would have expected a larger room for the price we paid. For whatever reason, we were unable to get the Fox sports 1 channel in order to watch the last game of the ALCS, at least they got Monday Night football
The hotel is very prestigious looking. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. The hotel staff is was friendly and courteous. The location of the hotel is perfect, a quick walk down to the center of town and is located on a lovely quaint street.
