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 KingdomBed was really uncomfortable. Window didn't close properly so let in a horrible draft. Didn't get top ups of shampoo (there is a dispenser on the wall but it was really watery, so didnt manage to wash our hair properly) or coffee. Some lights also didn't work and the toilet handle needed to be held for it to flush properly.
Upgraded our room to one with a window. Staff were friendly.

United KingdomThe towel rail had been removed from the bathroom wall; there was no soap in the dispenser in the shower; the bathroom sink was blocked/very slow draining. These are easy fixes, and I'm surprised that they were not sorted out before guests arrived.
Ideal location, for my purposes. Room was reasonably quiet and pleasantly warm.

United KingdomThe room was NOT like I was shown on a picture. There was not even a table but a chair next to my bed. I booked 2 single beds got a bed pushed together with one duvet - for what should have been 2 singles. Bathroom was nothing like in pictures. The green light above the door- which can't be turned off, kept me awake all night!!! The walls are probably made of cardboard and heard a nice couple in the night time getting it on. I was put in a room what seemed like a dungeon - no Internet- unless you want to pay for it - but hey, its not 1923!!! But okay, was gonna use my own on my phone BUT bc of the location of the cupboard, I meant the room, I could not even access that. So yeah, great experience for 120£ a night room!!!
It was in a quiet area near Dean's village and close to the centre

GreeceCleanliness of the room, kind of poor quality of the room/building/, there were not many room facilities, such as safe box, shower gel and shampoo. But it was okay after all, as we were only just sleeping and taking a shower. It was overall a good hotel choice for these busy calendar days, and the cheapest we could find.
Very friendly staff. Easy check in/out procedure. Very good location of the hotel. We were walking to the city center. Dean Village is very close to the hotel as well, we went there walking.
