Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaAlthough clean, our room felt a little tired and dated (some of the fixtures could do with a freshen-up). We were also initially a little disappointed that our room did not look out over the street (but instead a dim back corridor), but after a while, that didn't bother us as our room was quiet (and after reading other reviews about street noise, maybe it worked out for the best).
We enjoyed our stay at Barcelona Hotel Colonial. We thought the location was perfect - right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, but also only a stone's throw from Port Vell and the beach. The room itself was clean, quiet, comfortable and a good size.

United States of AmericaWe were initially given an already occupied room which was a little awkward but resolved quickly. The included breakfast was decent. The parking is actually offsite about 5 mins away, and while secure, having to go back and forth with the garage key added some inconvenience.
The room was surprisingly very quiet and had a balcony. The shower was great and water was hot. The room seemed pretty dated and the bedding wasn’t super comfortable but the AC worked really well and the 24hr desk made me feel very safe. The staff spoke excellent English and were helpful. The location is walkable to many places and extremely convenient.

The property was clean and the staff were friendly. The lady in the restaurant at breakfast was always very friendly and her singing always put us in a good mood in the morning. It was located in the centre which had good connections to the metro, beach and authentic restaurants.

United States of AmericaLights off in lobby by 10:30, even though bar encouraged us to take last call to lobby. Staff literally turned off lights in lobby while we were enjoying our last call drink at 11pm on a Friday and Saturday night. Shushed several times before midnight on a weekend by lobby staff. Liked accommodations but did not feel welcome.
Great location. Rooms clean and comfortable Bar super nice. Delicious breakfast was good value.

Location close to metro which allows very good movement. We went to tour the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, cruise on the Seine, walking tour which was Excellent. Classy hotel, area around safe with cafes and easy to stroll and enjoy the City of Love. Found receptionist CD's use of English very good and he was most helpful. Staff generally pleasant.

United KingdomThe location of the room within the hotel was not great. Our balcony looked out onto a concrete wall about 4 metres away. I would also have liked a smart TV, one that I can program with my Netflix or Amazon account The room facilities included a kettle with no tea, coffee, milk or sugar
Staff were excellent - no fault at all.

South AfricaThe bathroom smelled of damp and the sink didn't drain well, but this was taken care of promptly once we brought it to the staff's attention. Our room was on the ground floor and there was not good sound insulation - we could hear noisy guests going in and out of the elevators all through the night. For a four-star hotel, we were surprised that the room was only stocked with water and basic shampoo/body wash. No coffee and/or creamer, and no body/hand cream or conditioner were provided.
The air conditioning was very effective, the communal areas and the room were clean and well-decorated, and the staff were professional, helpful, and friendly.

AustraliaThe windows let through a lot of sound from the streets below. Every night we could hear a lot of yelling and glass(?) being thrown into the big bins on the streets.
We stayed in a standard double room which was spacious and clean. I saw reviews saying the rooms were small but this was one of the biggest rooms I’ve stayed in compared to other hotels across other cities. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and let us check in early.
