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...).

MaltaNear the hotel there where lot of baggers always asking for money did not feel safe all to go out alone. Paying for paking in the hotel parking for me felt like a scam where no other places to park where available.
Location was very good very central. On the other hand the coarse was in the same hotel so was very easy to reach. Accompanying Guest Had a lot to do nearby during the time I was doing the coarse.

United KingdomThe self serve breakfast was very good so not a complaint but having stayed there three nights, it would have been nice to have another option like eggs benedict or similar.
Excellently located hotel in the centre of Cardiff with easy access to the city centre, castle and principality stadium. We were there for a Bruce Springsteen concert hence lower score on value for money as hotel was full and prices were a premium (not blaming them, pure supply and demand). Friendly staff and lovely room with an enormous and very comfortable bed. Some crisps, biscuits and local pale ale in the room was a nice touch.

United KingdomThe bar area is dark and unwelcoming with rather frazzled staff member who seemed to be juggling numerous jobs. This is not a criticism about the staff but more I suspect a dig of the times. The bar area needs light and an injection of life, it is not a place I would choose to spend time in. This is a lovely hotel with great rooms in a perfect location. The whole of the downstairs feels like a second grade hotel with so much potential to breathe life into it with a great cocktail bar/waiters who will welcome people in and transform the feel of the place. Another disappointing addition to the first class rooms is the awful stuck on soap/shampoo dispensers. Cheapens the lovely rooms giving them a travel lodge feel. Just those changes would make me come back and importantly spend money during my stay instead of finding more lively places to eat and drink.
Matilda on reception was delightful with a huge welcoming smile and immediately put me at ease. I was travelling solo for the first time and her friendliness set the tone for the start of my trip. The room was perfect and the supersize bed was extremely comfortable. I had a city view which enabled me to do some sketching. It was something I had asked for when booking and was no trouble for Matilda who accommodated the request.
