How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Hi everyone. I made a reservation at this hotel more than 9 months before arrival. I experienced the reality of comfort and services directly from the moment I arrived until the moment of departure. At the decent price charged, the hotel has everything, absolutely everything it needs for its category. Bonus to this is the smile and professionalism of the staff, starting from the restaurant to maintenance. Rich and satisfying breakfast menu, comfortable air conditioning, running water, uninterrupted electricity. The safety and trust offered by this hotel made my vacation wonderful. The excellent location for daily trips around, the central and tourist area. Spacious and bright apartments equipped with much more than what is needed for accommodation. Daily cleaning staff who deserve all the respect. The staff at the reception is smiling, friendly and with all the latest information. Excellent management and financial staff. My wife and I thank the hotel and recommend everyone to choose this unique opportunity with confidence.

It felt rather far from the Waterfront or anywhere to walk as the area was more the corporate business district. The balcony had no furniture and the pool area was bleak.
Large, clean room, with a big kitchen area, comfy bed, charming staff, and delicious breakfast. Taxis could pull up easily outside. There was a good Italian restaurant opposite.

The apartment hotel is really highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, clean, great food, very fast WiFi. We didn't have a single problem/issue during our stay, on the contrary, when our flight was canceled and we couldn't leave until a day later, everything was done so that we could still stay in the same apartment. Thank you very much!

The parking and entrance to the hotel is difficult to navigate to if you are driving, as not easily visible. Room service: Restaurant staff were so nice but the food quality can be improved.
The room (private bathroom, lots of space,facilities and cleanliness), the staff and location where all excellent. All the staff are testament to “the friendly city” - keep up the great work. Breakfast was an added bonus.

the gym was small but honestly not a big deal. I still managed a workout.
The staff are the sweetest and kindest people. They’re accommodating and well trained. They really went the extra mile while I had an emergency visit to see my dad in hospital. I’ll never forget their compassion.
