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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

ThailandLocation of the hotel 🏨 is just great few min to train station and close to sea-side, we also experienced musical festival just close to beautiful church close by Staff was very open, smily and friendly.We left our bags after check-in and enjoyed sea-side and walk. Hotel was clean, beds comfortable, just the size of the room was smaller then expected, but we had everything we needed fridge, microwave, sofa, hot shower Thank you for stay and positive attitude 🤍

BelgiumIt's a really old building, but they do try to keep it clean. Sadly there isn't much that can be done about the thin walls or the city noise that gets into the room at night (mainly banter from surrounding cafés and festivals). There are also no mosquito nets, and no proper ventilation in the room, so you either have to choose between dealing with mosquitoes or a muffy room. Overal for the money I paid, I expected a lot more from Ocelot.
Having missed my last train, I searched for the cheapest room I could get to stay overnight, which is how I ended up at Ocelot. I was glad that Ocelot was relatively affordable compared to all the other stays near the beach, even though on its own it was quite a lot of money for what you get. Staff, was also very friendly, still welcoming me half past 10 and even lending me a charger for my phone.

Belgiumthey dont provide you with a key, so you cant close the door in the room. somebody opened our door 3 times and entered the room while there was a child in the room!!!!! @booking @police. the noise at night is unbelieveble, somebody is fighting, a woman was screamjng, there are people walking next to the room everytime, the walls are so thin and the door doesnt close good enough so you can hear somebody speak in the next room. it smells like a funeral bureau, but comparably, its not a big problem. a trail station at night is a better and safer place to stay than this.

BelgiumThe whole hotel is old and uninviting. Dark corridors, old wooden stairs that creaked like a procession of elephants walked through, every time someone passed. My room was incredibly badly located, right next to the communal toilet. The walls of the hotel are also extremely thin, which meant I laid awake several times at night because I could hear someone going to the toilet, this was so loud it felt like they were doing their errands right next to my head. On top of this, I wanted to take a shower (two corridors away from my own room), but there was no hot water. Upon leaving, I wanted to inform the owner about this, but there was no one to be seen. This was by far one of the worst hotel experiences in my life.
The reception was friendly and cordial. The room was relatively clean.

FranceAlthough the reception lady is friendly, the cleaning lady had a very bad attitude. The room was very smeely, not clean (small insects were around) and the blankets and bed covers were not washed (there was even a small dry spot of blood). The cleaning lady was angry to report it and she totally denied it. As we are allergic to mites, we couldn't breath properly without keeping the window open the whole night. We used our own towels and clothes as top covers while sleeping to get a better smell.
The location is perfect being in the city center and very close to the sea. Parking was cheap.
