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.).

United StatesWe booked this hotel twice during our vacation in France. Both times were consistent - friendly staff, clean, comfortable beds, linens, and room. The hotel is perfectly located to everything but quiet surroundings at night. Highly recommended and will stay here again if I am Lyon. Ordered room service our first night because we were too tired to go out and also had a great experience with delicious food and a bottle of wine.

Hong KongSmall things which can be improved : automatically match number of water bottles offered to the number of guests, make sure new ones are being provided everyday. Or install a filtered water fountain in the bedrooms corridor for instance ? Some towels missing the second day. More about the room cleaning / service to be controlled and improved. The rest was great and staff proved really helpful and efficient (reception and restaurant).
Very good hotel : good service from attending staff. Very comfortable bedroom, well equipped. Location is really good. Breakfast is quite impressive.

TurkeyLast day of our stay the protests spread to Lyon and during the night police and activists faced off and all these events took place in front of the hotel. Thank God we were safe, but unfortunately we learned that the hotel does not have 24-hour security. A hotel of this quality should think and must be prepared with such risks.
Amazing location at the heart of the city. Always be kind and responsive stuff and breakfast is satisfying w/ really good quality.

Perfect hotel and well worth the price. Building and location were perfect and beautiful. Our room was small but pretty and functional. Hotel staffs were friendly and helpful especially Julian. There’s an old elevator which is very French and so pretty. Hotel provides lemon water in the lobby for free and you can have it if you feel hot after your shopping. It’s a nice touch. Overall very satisfied ;)

MexicoThey were having the perfect storm on the days we stayed there: the (beautiful, unique) lift was broken, so everybody was obliged to use the stairs. And the stairs were having the carpets changed on the same day, so going up and down was interesting! The breakfast room was also being refurbished, so it was being served in the bar, and it seemed expensive for what it was.
The Carlton is located in a central, beautiful plaza in Lyon, with a wonderful view to Notre Dame de Fourvière. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are very pleasant, with small balconies, very comfortable beds, really nice bathrooms, good toiletries. Pleasant bar downstairs.
