Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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...).

BulgariaThe double bed was too small for a couple as well as the blanket. The view to the inwards was like no view. No toilet brush available in the room.
Location was in a good area close to transportation and Old Town. Nice interior. Luggage room. Water dispenser available on each floor.

NorwayNothing. It was wonderful. Highly recommended.
Literally the BEST water pressure in the shower that I have ever experienced! I stayed just one night but showered twice, just so that I could experience it again. The water heated up right away (after about 5 seconds)! Bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, 24 hour reception. Breakfast, prpvided across the street at a restaurant, was excellent.

BelgiumI'd like to think it was because I booked on a popular weekend, or maybe there was a last minute change. However, I was oddly given a room in the basement floor. In fact, my room was the only bedroom on the floor, and the other rooms were either used to store hotel supplies, luggage storage, or break rooms for staff behind doors that had numbers on them to look like they were guest rooms (sometimes the doors were open and I was surprised they were not guest rooms).
The room was cosy, quiet and had a comfy bed on a quiet floor. The amenities were good quality, and staff were professional. I liked that I was able to get a discounted off for restaurants across the road, and I recommend trying the ones on offer.

IrelandWe had to go across the road for our breakfast as there was no bar or dining room in the hotel. The room was very warm at times especially at night. On our arrival to the hotel, we thought the hotel was closed as the unit before the hotel entrance was all boarded up, this doesn't give a great impression.
The hotel was very central, very clean and the staff were very helpful and nice.

United KingdomAfter a long day out, we arrived back to our room about 21:30 to find our room entry card wasn’t working. We went back down to reception to ask why & were told the room entry card had been cancelled. When we pointed out we had another two nights booked, the receptionist reset the card & apologised, saying her colleague had cancelled it in error. We tried to purchase two breakfast vouchers when we got back to our room during the second evening, & were told they couldn’t sell them to us until the morning. Oddly we had purchased two vouchers the previous evening without any problems.
Staff friendly, hotel was clean with good facilities. Great location, near to all shops, restaurants & attractions.

United KingdomRoom was a bit too warm, I slept with the windows open and radiator turned off - there was a heater in the cupboard, perhaps a fan would be a good idea too?
Staff were mostly friendly, room was lovely, clean and big enough for one. Also, well-equipped with an iron, trouser press, extra blankets and pillows etc. The location was fantastic. A stay in the hotel also gives you 20% off at a couple of restaurants on the street - I didn't eat there but it's a nice touch.
