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.).

RussiaThe terrace bar could use some improvements regarding personnel and snacks. Unimaginative breakfasts full of pastry but lacking healthy choices.
Superb location right in the heart of old Khiva. Never seen a hotel cleaner than this - including all the areas of it!!! The pictures do not give its justice - in fact the hotel looks way better.

PolandThe room was a bit dusty and the power sockets were weirdly placed - none near the kettle, so I had to move it. Also, no water bottles were provided and I wished for more variety in the breakfast. The Wi-fi was quite bad esp in the evening - please work on improving the signal. All in all, I'd say it's quite nice but overpriced a little for Uzbekistan.
A superb location right in the old town, next to all the sights. Spent some chill time on the rooftop terrace looking over the mosques and madrasas, drinking coffee and enjoying the sun. The room was quite large and even had a bathtub, the bed were comfy, and the staff was super nice and helpful.

Inside the walled city so everything was easily accessible. Staff were friendly, breakfast was lovely, rooms were comfortable. Laundry was cheap.

United KingdomBreakfast is not great…and they should not charge any money for the bicycles they rent. They are not in great conditions. But that is a minor thing. I would recommend going.
This is probably best hotel in Khiva. The location is just perfect. It has a great rooftop if you want a drink in the late afternoon.

IndiaThe location of the Arkanchi Hotel is just perfect. The views from the second floor are amazing. I am sure you could enjoy the views when it is not freezing (when I visited, the temperature was -18C). The staff are friendly. They let me check in early. The rooms are neat, clean, and spacious. The breakfast spread was delicious and abundant.

AustraliaBreakfast was varied with something for everyone but it would help if there were signs in English with the food names/descriptions :)
This hotel has to have the best location in all of Khiva, to walk to all the sights.....and the view out of our window....wow what an amazing place! Make sure you climb up to the terrace....worth the stair climb! Comfortable bed, excellent wifi, good shower, some may have problems with climbing into a high bath though. Breakfast was traditional with instant coffee that was actually quite nice and Bilol the attendant @ breakfast was very good. Water was readily available from dispensers on each floor, which was much appreciated. Stairs only to upper floor but staff were very helpful with our luggage, thank you :)

What a location!!!!!!!! You open your window and have a view of the famous buildings. Rooms are huge with a separate living room Staff very friendly and helpful Tip. If you arrive in Urgench airport get your taxi organised by the hotel. Far cheaper than a taxi for the 35 km ride

United KingdomLarge gap under door meant of lot of corridor noise, particularly in the morning when groups were exiting early. More of a group hotel than we had imagined. Roof terrace had a great view but wasn't really an integral part of the building - you get to it via an exterior spiral fire staircase from the ground floor, slightly awkward if anxious about heights. No food served up there whilst we stayed in October, so photos a bit misleading as we had hoped to take breakfast on the terrace. Breakfast was decent but the single staff member on duty was willing but overwhelmed by need for replenishment. There was a half-terrace option by the breakfast room for a bit of a view.
Great position in the old town. Loved the dark wood floors of room, very calming and elegant. Good sized room. Comfortable beds. Nice breakfast. Great views from terrace.
