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 KingdomThe corridors could of been alot cleaner as there was alot of towels and bedding and furniture left in the corridors. The hotel has an older look it's okay if your not looking for something expensive and the bare minimum in rooms.
Not much to really like there was a bar which seemed good for a drink but was bare minimum and not busy when I was there.

IndiaLoud neighbours, thin walls, shady location and crowd was a lil rough. The bathroom can use some renovation and cleaning. Room service would have been appreciated, especially as the stay was for 5 nights. But the staff was helpful and resourceful.

United KingdomThe beds were absolutely awful. My lower back and sides are actually in pain because of how thin the beds are. I would strongly advise these need to be changed. I also didn't like the smell of our hotel room, it smelt of cannabis and sweat, it did not smell clean at all. It also smelled of damp. There were cobwebs in the corners of our room, which highlighted that simple dusting wasn't properly carried out. The staff at reception were extremely blunt with me and my husband. We did not feel welcomed into the hotel at all, and the attitude from staff continued to be negative during our whole stay. We had no room service during our stay, our towels weren't refreshed, and toilet rolls weren't changed either. A light bulb had gone in our room leaving the room quite dim.
I liked the location. It was a 20 minute walk into the city centre which for us was absolutely fine. If you're unable to walk long distances I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Bed sheets were clean, and the hotel seemed to have everything we needed on a very basic level. The room sizes are okay, they don't need to be any bigger, we stayed in a double room and there was enough space. I like that this hotel is dog friendly, it's very convenient.

United KingdomI had to pay £10/night extra for a room with window because apparently I booked a room without a window, where exctaly did it say on booking page that this was a room with no window I don't know. Lifts inside were disgusting and in rooms would do with fixing few things.
Really nice location, staff members were helpful and welcoming, no fuss cash payments, price although I had to pay extra was still ok.

NetherlandsThe room was dirty and in desperate need of some small repairs (window lock, curtain, lose tiles). Dust bunnies everywhere and a lot of black and pink mold in the bathroom. The bed was also one of the worst ones I've encountered.
The location of this hotel is quite nice and I especially enjoyed walking alongside the "river". The bed sheets and pillows where clean and comfortable.

FinlandThe hotel is advertised to be a 15minute walk away from Princes street shopping. In reality the distance is a whole 40minute walk away making it harder to access in foot. The beds are rock hard and uncomfortable and the bathroom facilities dirty.
The staff was friendly but blamed the hotels misleading information on booking.com
