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 StatesEverything was great!!
We loved our stay at Gorgeous George! Everything about the hotel was unique, chic, artsy, and stylish. The rooms were very large, and the shower was great. The free breakfast on the roof was delicious. The rooftop in general was an awesome place to relax. We loved sitting on the little pool deck, and we loved the bar (Gigi's Rooftop) so much that we went every night after dinner! The cocktails were delicious. Every staff member we encountered during our stay was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even surprised us by decorating our room for our honeymoon, which was very thoughtful. We were a little concerned that the hotel was located on the pedestrian mall and Ubers would not be able to drop us off in front of the door at night, but the drop off spot was a very short walk to the hotel, and we felt completely safe. I highly recommend staying Gorgeous George while in Cape Town!

NetherlandsThe views are on Holiday Express hotel, but makes sense when you stay in the center of town. The pool was small and the inside dome was losing its paint in the corners, not the freshest smells. More to look at, less to swim in :)
Wonderful staff, warm and kind went the extra mile on any requests. Breakfast options were vast and super tasty. Bed was super comfy and the suite was equipped with everything you need. Even a yoga mat and pillow!

Very friendly staff in a central location. The rooftop bar has a nice vibe and having gym next door is very handy!

United KingdomThe staff didn't mention the amenities in the hotel, ie the bar on 1st floor which holds live events, or that we could arrange for a massage at the hotel (even though we had asked for recommendations)
Clean and modern decor, loved all the extra touches like the Marshall speakers in each room. Great location, just a short walk/uber away from alot of the main attractions. Breakfast was so good, very surprised at the level of quality and choice for an included breakfast. Would definitely recommend

ThailandThe bed and the pillows are too soft. That’s not comfortable for us. The staff seemed to be helpful but there was a time that we asked for additional 3 bottles of water and we waited like almost an hour and after 3-4 times of follow-up calls. And at the end we only got 3. And they we stopped asking them again for the remaining days and bought ourselves drinking water. I think the location is nice that it’s in the heart of CBD. But it’s CBD and so, less shops, supermarkets, cafes, etc.
The breakfast was perfect! I would give 10 out of 10 for the breakfast. Variety of choices, big portion. The room is well decorated. Very unique and beautiful. Quite spacious. Love the space and that they have a nice sofa in the room. Love it that they have a nice rood top bar which is perfect for an evening drink. No need to go out.
