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.).

Hong KongCons: Unattended Breakfast Tables: One downside was that the breakfast tables were not cleaned promptly after guests finished their meals. This led to a cluttered and less inviting dining area, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant breakfast experience. Indifferent Desk Staff: I found the desk staff to be a bit disinterested. While they were not rude, their lack of engagement and enthusiasm was noticeable and did not contribute positively to the overall experience.
I recently stayed at Hotel Ivalo, and while there were several highlights to my visit, there were a few areas that could use some improvement. Pros: Stunning Views: The view from the hotel was absolutely breathtaking, offering a picturesque backdrop that made my stay quite memorable. Spacious Hotel: The hotel itself is vast and well-laid out, providing a sense of comfort. Clean Rooms: The room I stayed in was spotlessly clean, which I greatly appreciated. It was evident that attention to cleanliness is a priority here. Good Breakfast: The breakfast served was quite enjoyable with a good variety of options to choose from.

Czech RepublicI was unlucky and my stay coincided with big French travel groups who tended to take over the whole place (not so great for individual travelers). Some of the staff spoke to me im French (trying to 'entertain' me, assuming that I was looking for some sort of entertainment at all), TV channels are mostly in French, translations of stuff for breakfast also. I don't speak French and don't care if it's French or any other language, just not keen on any kind of mass tourism and didn't expect it there. But they did their best to give me a quiet room away from the groups and to treat me as an individual :)
I had a super nice room overlooking the river which was frozen and was used as a road for snow mobiles and pedestrians alike. The bed was comfortable and location was good (about 8 mins from the main bus station, about 12 from the shop). Internet worked well, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly.

GermanyThe hotel could be more creative and thoughtful about the lighting. In the evening when there are chances of the Aurora Borealis the back side of the hotel had some disturbing lights which should be turned off.
The location was amazing and very well connected as the bus stand and supermarket were just a few 100 meters away.
