Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomDue to our room being on the ground floor, right next to the entrance , it was noisy at night - people kept on going in and out of the door.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The location was very close to the station which is very useful. The shared kitchen was clean and had access to filtered water.

United KingdomAlthough there was a communal kitchen area - which was very clean and well-kept - I would have really loved a kettle in the room. Again, I am pleased that there was information about checking-in, however, there was an almost excessive amount of long emails of instructions, then requiring an app download before receiving the key code. After booking, I was required to pay a deposit in case of damages, which for me was pretty expensive as an extra 'cost' after booking, though I am sure it was hidden in the small print somewhere.
Great location very close to the station with a nice big room too. Informative and regular communication from the company regarding check-in. I was grateful that during my stay the communal kitchen was open 24 hours as I arrived late after work.

United KingdomI would have had difficulty getting to the toilet if I were of bigger build; & (to be frank) it is so tight a space that it is very difficult indeed to stand whilst using toilet paper! The overhead shower faucet was fixed so that it pointed to one side, and there was no way to raise the hand-held faucet above chest height - showering took much longer than it ought to have.
Comfortable bed, clean modern room.

New ZealandThe pin pad doors were abit confusing and we had trouble getting into the building and our room. We were pretty tired upon arrival. The floor was very creaky, the bedside lamps didnt work and the shower was difficult to use. You could not use the shower for more than 3 minutes as the sink didnt drain fast enough and you had to let it drain before turning it on again. You could only use the handheld as the top faucet of the shower would sprinkle out of the shower making it a slippery dangerous mess when you got out. If you wanted to make a cup of tea you have to go out of the room, down the steep flight of stairs and make it in a communal area. That is fine, but if you were making two cups of tea and some instant noodles - it was abit tricky and a strenous process!
Good Location and a very spacious room with a comfy bed. A good place to put your belongings and sleep.

PortugalThe main issue is the smoking area outside the back door - the smoke goes all the way to the top floor and the corridor and room both smelt strongly of smoke. Move the smoking area a little away from the open door!

ItalyUnfortunately, there's no elevator in the hotel, so we had to carry our bags up a number of flights of very steep and narrow stairs to get to our room on the top floor (of three floors). Our room seemed clean enough, but the floor was very sticky! We could tell that it had been cleaned. However, most likely the concentration or ratio of detergent to water was much too high, and it left a sticky sort of film all over the floors. The bathroom was very small, but functional. The TV worked well, but it was in a strange position not facing the bed, and it was fixed to the wall so we couldn't turn it towards the bed.
The location is very good. It's in a quiet neighborhood close to the train station and just a short walk to the bus stop. We had a good night's sleep, and coffee was available in the kitchen downstairs any time.

United KingdomThe keyless entry was an issue. I did not receive the email with the access code. I rang the property three times and no one answered. We then went and rang the doorbell. We waited outside for 15 minutes running and no one came. In the end another guest let us in and eventually we found a member of staff who was very rude but gave us the code. Very poor customer service. Also the bathroom was tiny. Sitting on the toilet was very difficult due to closeness to the sink and the water pressure was quite bad.
Location was great. The room was clean and the bed was comfy.
