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 Kingdom1. View from the window was not worth opening the blinds so artificial light only. 2. Mould in the corridors and a bit in the bathroom, "funny smell" in the room.
1. Perfect location - in the middle of Old Quarter. 2. Accommodating staff - we were able to check in at 3AM. 3. Room cleaning, fresh towels every two days. 4. How water and good pressure in the shower. 5. Good working WiFi and AC.

ThailandThis hotel has a great location, the best redeeming quality that it offers. Although the property is in an old building and has facilties old and not modern, it makes up for its easy access to many places in the old town, etc. It is inside a small alley, and a small market is just outside this hotel in the morning. You can eat noodles, etc. from some of these local vendors outside at a price offered the same to the local people. Ms Lucy, the owner of this place, booked me a VIP Sedan on my way to the airport. The price is cheap at 280,000 VND and is comparable with grab price (or lower) but the quality of the car and the service is exceptional. She also refer me to a currency exchange shop just a 5-10 minute walk from her hotel, with very good rates. If you are not choosy and would just stay outside for most of the time, the place has acceptable amenities and facilities considering the very reasonable price.

I stayed there to wait out Tết, and it’s one of the more budget friendly options during that period. It meets the basic needs of any traveller. Location is close to the famous Bún chả restaurant and about 10 minutes walk to Pho 10 Ly Quoc Su.

GermanyThe hotel is a bit old, but that's part of its charm and the owner is very helpful. This is how you feel good. The street next to the hotel is a bit narrower and therefore relatively quiet. The Cafe Hanoi with its beautiful courtyard is also recommended.

United StatesThe facility was quite old as some of the furniture and appliances. Our tv turns black without picture (but with sound) for a few minutes then comes back on. We did not inform Lucy about this but I’m sure she’ll take care of it had we done so. One other thing, on our last night, there was a strong smell of oil fried fish or something that lingered in the whole building. The ventilation wasn’t so great so it took awhile to dissipate. Not sure what can be done about it but thought might mention.
The staff and location are great. Lucy was very attentive and responsive to our needs. Actually, this was the second time we booked this hotel. I didn’t like my stay the first time because I did not think that the facility was clean and noted that in my review. This time around was a great improvement in cleanliness of facilities. Please keep it up. I would recommend this hotel for its value. I wouldn’t mind staying here again.
