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.).

FranceThis is a beautiful, secure boutique hotel with lovely rooms each decorated with taste and super comfortable beds. Hot water shower which was a treat as I didn’t even get that at the Radisson. The staff is very kind, helpful and accommodating in every way. It’s about a 15-20 min walk to the best parts of colonial city or a 3$ Uber. The roof terrasse is super nice and relaxing. Definitely a gem I would return and recommend in a heartbeat.

Dominican RepublicI loved everything. Just a few touches could make it perfect: > a pull out luggage rack > reusable launderable bath mat > a shelf for personal toileteries in the shower
Loved how the hotel gives high quality affordably. The rooftop terrace is perfect to get some air. There are many conveniences nearby, including good restaurants.

I have to say that it's a very very good experience there. everybody there was very friendly to me. They always tried their best to help me. I really like the atmosphere on the roof. for the Panorama of the city. The location is very good. It's very near to the Zona Colonial. I hope I could return there in the future.

QatarIn fact I don’t have anything on my “unlike” list, considering the proposal and cost/benefit it was a great choice.
The properly is kinda new, everything is very organized and clean. There’s a nice rooftop where you can enjoy the sunset and smoke a nice Dominican cigar! The staff was also great, very thoughtful.

United KingdomSome will consider it a disadvantage that the Hostal is outside the zona colonial (although it is walking distance), but do bear in mind that the zona colonial can be very noisy at night.
The Hostal deserves its good rating on booking.com. It is very well managed by Mickael. It's clean, safe and quiet; we slept well on the quality mattress for two nights. There is a good restaurant (recommended by Mickael) with Dominican dishes a 5 minutes walk away. The city's main museums and modern art gallery are also within walking distance.

ItalyThe only thing I can suggest is to add a small shelf in the bathroom just to put creams, shampoo, or simply clothes.
The hostal is located in a calle not very far away from the Zona Colonial. You can reach it simply by walking. My room was very small but perfect for my needs. Also, it can be a plus if the day is very humid and hot and you need to refresh the room very fast! There's a small refrigerator (very useful), a very cozy sofa and a super comfy bed. The staff has been very kind and helpful with me with the late check in/late check out and all my needs! Generally, everything was clean and tidy. The bathroom is very big and clean, with hot water. The terrace is super nice: so relaxing and incredibly silent. I read a book and I felt like I wasn't in the center of Santo Domingo!
