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.).

United StatesHotel rooms are too over the top in colors. It felt like I was in a psychedelic cave. Shower stall is small for a larger person. Would like more comfortable table and chairs to work or eat at. Staff had problems running my credit card on multiple occassions.
I liked the location of the hotel and the availability of public transport and restaurant choices. It was an easy walk, train ride or bus to anywhere in the city. Internet worked well with no issues.

AustraliaVacuum the floors on level 10 and remove bags & trolleys of old towels from the hallway prior to 2pm. There was an odour which permeated level 10 which should be managed. The room had a carpet cleaner applied and this smell interrupted my sleep as it was very strong. It was implied that parking was provided in the Booking.com app though it was not clearly shown that it was paid for on top of the hotel price.
Staff & location were excellent. Unfortunately the cleanliness on level 10 left something to be desired.

AustraliaNothing. I loved everything. If I was being forced to find something, I would like a vending machine for late night nibbles. But that’s not a big issue because the location is so convenient for Uber rides and food delivery services to get to and there is a pub across the road and a convenience store 4 minutes away if you really want something late at night to eat.
The staff were so understanding and helpful, I really appreciated the staffs help. We were having an family emergency and their willingness to go that extra mile for us, especially Hagi and Jaime, who was there in our dire time of need ~ We will forever be grateful for their outstanding service and kindness. I loved how colourful the decoration was and how clean and easy it was to move around. No matter where you are, it is photogenic. Bored of working in your room? Go to the lobby, tired of that spot, go to the other side of the lobby, it’s excellent. Easy to walk around and navigate to public transport. Also love the chairs in the lobby, reminds me of Task Master the tv show.

AustraliaThe designer that choose those hideous room carpets should be ashamed of themselves. Shower over an old bath was clearly a compromise to keep costs down. Very slippery and dangerous.
Location, Location, Location. In the best spot. Unbeatable value for money. Reallly decent renovation of what was the (very old) Cambridge Hotel). Rooms very spacious for this price point. Fittings were interesting and unusual.
