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.).

IsraelWater flow in the shower is very poor. When they put you in a room in the basement they should let you know in advance. So instead of having a room with big windows like in the photo we were in the basement and that wasn’t pleasant. Also we had a door to the back of the building and it felt unsafe

AustraliaThe location was excellent to be able to catch the tram & buses. The room was small (single bedroom) but the bathroom was large. The stairs were an issue with carrying luggage. On arrival staff assisted and had already placed my luggage in my room as we had left our bags at the hotel when we went on a 5 day tour. Having the facility to eat breakfast onsite was wonderful with a choice of either continential or cooked breakfast as an additional fee. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

RomaniaThe room was in the basement of the townhouse, and the Wi-Fi signal was very weak. We struggled to access the internet once we were in the room, and there were occasions when it couldn't be accessed at all.
The location was excellent, just a 30-minute walk to the city center (Old Town) from the accommodation. Nearby, there were numerous cafes, restaurants, and a Tesco store. Additionally, bus and tram stations were close. The hotel itself was clean, and the room was spacious enough for a party of 3. The staff were polite and friendly.

In a great location, really close to the tram stop and a few minutes away from Princes street. Hotel bar / breakfast room has lots of original features and really lovely. Staff very good, they work extremely hard. Hotel room was spotless, cleaned every day.

The hotel is a 15-minute walk to the city centre, so it is easily walkable. But if possible, there are certainly buses that run as well. For this, use the M-Tickets app there the tickets are a bit cheaper and you can buy them in advance. The hotel has very friendly staff. The room is clean but not top clean. Beds are good. If you are on the top floor it can get a bit hotter ( especially if you are on the sun side). But there is a fan in the room so keep the curtain closed and the fan on then it is fine. The continental breakfast is simple but good enough. We had booked extra and with that you could choose from 6 hot different breakfast options. Then you can carry on until the evening ;-). So definitely a hotel that is recommendable considering the location, staff, breakfast and bed. A 30-minute tram ride from the airport gets you to the hotel. From the Tram station to the hotel is just across the street and turn the corner.

United Statesthe cozy double room was quaint, clean, and comfortable. Location is great if you're relying on public transportation as it's only a couple minutes from Haymarket Station which provides bus or tram routes to the airport every 10 minutes or so . Plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby. It is a 20+ minute walk to city center, which I didn't mind, but some may prefer the bus, our maybe even a hop on/off bus to get to various sites around town.
