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 StatesDue to the nature of the old building, the bathroom was down some very treacherous and steep stairs in the middle of the night. And I was put in a building three doors down from the main hotel. Not a fault of the staff or hotel, just how it was laid out.
The staff were amazingly gracious and helpful. The room and the bathrooms were sparkling clean.

ItalyRead the description carefully because there are many steps without an elevator, which was not a problem for us but you should pay attention if you have any special needs regarding the steps.
The location is excellent, the service very helpful, our room was very clean and in 3 days they changed our sheets 2 times. The room was basic, tiny, but we didn't need anything else for that short stay.

NetherlandsShared bathroom and toilet was a surprise for us when we arrived, but it is noted in the booking so that was our mistake. However it smelled of unwashed urine a bit. After our shower the cleaning guy walked in on us naked because he didn't knock. The room is tiny, and dated. No airconditioning for hot summer days.
Very friendly staff and a good central location. Strong internet access. Water was clean and drinkable. Heating would be present on winter days. I like the family run aspect of it all and the sustainability focus.

DenmarkCoffee and tea in the common room is a nice touch, but quickly ran out every day. I suggest checking on it regularly :-)
Excellent location on a nice street in vibrant and green Bloomsbury. This is not the Ritz and doesn't pretend to be: It's simple but cozy with an authentic feel. My room was small but nicely arranged, and the staff were friendly. I had a shared bathroom which always takes a little getting used to, but it worked out OK. Check the hotel's website so you know what you're getting. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, and convenient for some of the major train stations. Weather permitting, the nearby Russell Square gardens are nice for an afternoon drink.

IcelandI hated having to get out of my room to go to the bathroom, but that seems to be the standard for all "cheaper" hotels in London right now.
I guess it was comfortable to have a sink in the room since the bathroom was outside. Overall the place was clean, bed was comfortable and the location was good, too. Useful for a one-night-stay.
