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 StatesLocation of our room was next to the events area. Event was very loud passed midnight. Coffee machine was couldn't handle the number of uses.
Very friendly staff. Clean room with lovely daily service. Breakfast buffet was plentiful. And the location was central for walking. Bare in mind the city is large and you would need to take transport to the water front area, St. Fagan, a couple of castles and the gin tasting.

United KingdomAt check in we were allocated a family room[double bed on right and single bed on the left] The room was also very dark as there was ahigh wall 'directly outside the window, we were very disappointed. I had booked and paid for a twin room. After negotiating at reception we were swiftly allocated a light airy single room.
We found one member of staff particularly helpful [ Matilda] as she helped us with our luggage as we could leave them at the hotel because we were too early for check in and also to leave them at the hotel after check out, she also help us with the taxi. Matilda came across courteous cheerful and genuine. We also enjoyed the selection of breakfast,

United KingdomThe bar closed at 11 on the night we were staying, it would have been nice to have a couple of drinks after our evening out, but we could only buy one then it closed.
Our room was available on arrival, very clean, offered plenty of space, and the extra large bed was extremely comfortable. We were given a free upgrade on arrival, which was very welcome. The reception staff were lovely, really warm, welcoming and helpful. Good breakfast. Great hotel, great central location, reasonably priced.

United KingdomDue to its central location it was too noisy at night. Groups of youths, drunk people shouting, etc and this was all night. 2nd night add music from a hotel function until midnight. The building is old so all the floors are squeaky making it noisy. My 1st room had loud machinery noise within the hotel next to it, sounded like a plant room, plus in the room a large ( dinner plate size) bright green night which disturbed me ( told is connected to the fire alarm) on top of the outside noise. I did change room 2nd night but was given a room with a bath and fixed panel/screen, as a blue badge holder this made using the shower extremely difficult. Given the Aggro from my 1st move I couldn’t face another. The Duty Manager I spoke to was passive aggressive and sarcastic, I didn’t want to deal with him again. The hotel knew I had trouble with mobility as I had registered my badge with them & use a walking stick, they should have moved me to a room with a walk in shower like my first room had. They had been informed of my need for a quieter room at 06:30 and I went out all day so they had 8 hours to reallocate my room. 3 times during the 2 day stay my key cards failed meaning I had to go up & down to reception each time & twice queued to get the card sorted, and yes I know to not put it near other devices.
Location for shopping, dining, sports/concerts stadiums and site seeing was excellent
