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 KingdomBreakfast was very basic indeed. Poor quality of product - cheap. Noise above my room not great & road traffic loud. The room was basic, needs an update. Check out was poor, nobody around to help assist.
Check-in was very good. The young fella was very helpful & friendly. Good size room. Bed comfortable.

United StatesChecking in, I was asked to fill out forms which I already did on line. The front door was closed so we walk around. There are quite a few steps to enter the hotel and two entrances . There was no rain so our suitcases stayed outside as we were checking in and then entered the hotel through the other door (also with steps). The whole process would be a nuisance if it was raining.
Comfortable beds.

United StatesI can’t judge too much since I just slept here…it is certainly an older property but very affordable so if you aren’t too picky I would overlook that. I could not figure out how to turn on the shower (it was 3am so I didn’t ask) so I would have a card with directions in the bathroom (different set up from US shower system)
I stayed here the night before an early flight the next morning. Convenience to a bus was great. It is also a straight shot to Old Town from here.

AustraliaWe were given a room upstairs even though ground floor was requested. The staircase had furniture on the landing and the handrail was wobbly making it difficult to negotiate with luggage.. the rooms were very dated and not well cleaned with cobwebs etc. the staff were not very responsive to any requests. Definitely did not feel there was value for money at this stay.
There was free street parking nearby for our car. Close to a bus stop for the 20 minute trip into the centre of the city. There was a very nice cafe just a short walk away.

NetherlandsMold in shower, room got sprayed with a refreshner wich was a total overkill. Chairs were old and damaged. Really noisy, single glas in windows so you here the cars drive as early as 3.30 in the morning. The karaoke bar across the street is so loud, you can singalong.
The room was a very nice size for a family with 2 kids. Water pressure of shower was nice. 20minutes from city centre with taxi.

PolandThe location was perfect for sightseeing - a bus stop was right outside the hotel (and you could easily travel to both city centre and airport). Our room was quite big - a queen bed and a single for 2 people, a private bathroom (which for the price offered was really nice). The staff let us leave our backpacks earlier than check-in time, we also could leave in the middle of the night. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Netherlands- no secured luggage storage; luggage can be left public lounge on day arrival/departure (we ended up renting lockers downtown) - uncomfortable matras - only one tiny small window in roof (no view) - room needed an update - admittedly all rooms in Edinburgh were outrageously expensive that week due to a Taylor Swift concert. Hopefully regular rates are a lot less than 159 GBP/night/single use
- Room was quiet (facing the backside) - daily cleaning - small common area where colleagues and I could sit and work - bus stop almost in front of hotel with airlink to airport and tegular buses to the city centre (35 minutes)

CanadaSoap in the shower didn't have a good smell... luckily we brought something else we could use. A mini bar in the room would have been nice to have, to keep drinks and other things cold. Pillows weren't great, but depends what you're used to I suppose. Furniture dated, but no big deal.
Room (family suite) was extremely spacious. Location was fantastic. Free parking on side street nearby was easy, always lots of space. Shower worked well. We didn't have breakfast there, but it smelled fantastic. Staff made everything easy.
