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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaAbdul Tawheed has been an outstanding leader, ensuring my room was impeccably managed, providing all the necessary services, and handling my luggage with an exceptional attitude. Adi was equally wonderful, offering attentive assistance throughout my stay and ensuring my departure was smooth and seamless. Additionally, Blaise (if I recall the name correctly) went above and beyond to secure a room with a beautiful bathtub upon my request. The entire team was incredibly helpful and attentive—I didn’t have to lift a finger as they took such excellent care of me. I will definitely return for another stay.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is the pool area is quite small however we had other places booked during our stay so this wasn’t an issue and you do get free access to soluna beach club.

ItalyOur stay at The First Collection Waterfront was beyond expectations. Our room was spotless and the view was breathtaking. A special thanks to Ms. Pretty and Mr. Ahmed from the reception and to Mr. Abilash from the restaurant who took care of us in such a gentle and professional way. If we’ll come back to Dubai this is where we would stay! Thank you for making our honeymoon magical!

It is with great pleasure that I am writing a review of the First Collection Waterfront. I can only use superlatives to evaluate the quality of cleanliness, service and personalized attention rendered by the hotel staff . Free bus shuttle at designated times to major attractions made our stay super comfortable. Rooftop pool provides fabulous skyline views of the downtown. In general, it was a stay to remember that made our holidays.

United KingdomThe shower cabin was spacious and comfortable, but water tended to leak outside, making the bathroom floor wet. Not sure if this was an issue in just our room or a more general problem. Our room had a view of the street and some nearby construction, but the reception kindly offered an option to upgrade to a better room view. It wasn't really a problem for us, but if you prefer to have a more scenic view, it's something to keep in mind.
We had a pleasant one-night stay at this hotel in Dubai. The breakfast was fantastic, offering a wide selection of delicious options. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, with special mention to Mr. Nadim, who was very helpful with our luggage and helped us settle into the room. He also assisted in booking a taxi, making our stay even more convenient. The hotel offers great value and is in a good location, close to the Dubai Mall, which was made even more convenient with their free shuttle bus service.
