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 KingdomNothing!
The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We arrived on the overnight flight and were lucky our room was ready and we were able to check in early. The hotel arranged a trip to the fortresses with great taxi driver Ollashukur who also picked us up from the airport and took us to the station when we left. The hotel was clean, the location exceptional and breakfast was good. The hotel also arranged dollar to SUM conversion at the standard national rate.

NetherlandsTwo really very minor points for improvement: 1) a shower curtain would be nice 2) maybe some gentle background music at breakfast to add some atmosphere
The location is very convenient with the old town right around the corner and the station within walking distance (approx 25 minutes). Breakfast selection is very good and hotel is quiet. The single rooms are quite small, but perfectly fine. I had a peak at a double and that one looked really nice!

The staff was super friendly and ready to help or just for a chat. The location was just a small walk by the main attractions. The room was clean

Fine hotel on the edge of the old town, only 5 minutes walk to the center. Calm and peaceful. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff.

ChinaIf they make the rooftop as a tea/coffee bar. That would be great. Good view from it.
Just close to the south gate which taxi can drive in so you needn't to walk through the town from west gate (where the ticket office is). It's quite a boutique hotel with local decoration but modern room and facilities. Abundant breakfast with fresh juice and lots of local food in a pretty ‘banquet hall’. Staffs are warming and smile everyday.

IndiaBreakfast could have been better.
The property is very well maintained and clean. Staff was very helpful and was able to converse in English which was very helpful. It is very well located inside the old city walls and is walkable to most of the places of interest. It also has a terrace which has pretty good views of the old city. Definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomI couldn't fault anything about the hotel. In a quiet corner of Itchan Kala, just inside the south gate so a taxi can drive right to the door. Two or three minutes' walk from the centre of the old town. Comfortable hotel, spacious twin bed room, good quality bed, and wonderful buffet breakfast. Loved it.
