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...).

Saudi ArabiaThings I disliked: The staff was really stiff and not welcoming. No one helped with the luggage when we came. they promised an iron which we had to borrow from the reception with no ironing equipment. the room was small and the beds were not stable and kept on moving which was annoying . the TV channels signals were not stable all the time, we couldn’t watch TV. the place was not clean properly, I tested the staff by placing items and seeing if they are cleaning and they kept on missing spots multiple times. The location was semi good however there were multiple other options down the street that might work just fine, the shower was stable.

United KingdomBasic repairs needed. Wobbly tap and dodgy shower that needs descaling in room 203. Half the spot lights didn’t work either. Staff weren’t very friendly. We had to ask specifically for WiFi info. This could be included in room info folder
Good location. Smart TV very welcome. Agreed to take in luggage ahead of check in which was appreciated.

United KingdomNoise. Its noisy. Its not the area. Its a quiet street and location. Its within the hotel. Our room was right on the lift so could hear and people getting in and out. Doors don't seal tight and no sound proofing. I took ear plugs thankfully
Nice location in that it's not in central London. Walkable to a couple of tube options, Notting hill, portobello Rd market and the park. Room was fine. It's not expensive so wasn't expecting much. Towels and bedding nice. Bed comfy.

GreeceIt is a shame to have this nice building in that area and keep it so outdated and dirty. Bathroom decently clean but dust is everywhere and completely unclean.
I really loved the location, almost centrally but very quite and safe. Clean area with nice stores, groceries cafes and metro stations.

SpainThe radiator in the bathroom could do with being bled (airpockets) it did make some noise during the night. The bedside light was leant in the corner against the wall, it was broken, do not touch it as its hard to put back. you could hear if someone used the lift, not so much the door but the humming movement of it going up and down. to be fair once i was asleep, the noises were not a bother, maybe the alochol helped.
Staff was welcoming and helped with getting me booked in. The room 204 was nice and big, had a tea and coffee maker. i did not use it. Plenty of towels and soap/shampoo.

United States of AmericaI asked ahead of time about storing luggage while we explored the city. Their answer was "sure". Upon arrival we discovered that "storing luggage" meant keeping it in the hotel lobby at our own risk. And the desk staff was not overly happy or accommodating to do so. The room could use updating and a deep clean. All of the beds had sand in them (possibly from the disintegrating decorative pieces. No hair dryer, no iron or ironing board.
The location was convenient and the space in the room was great for our family of 4. There were separate twin beds for my boys and a separate room for me and my husband.

United KingdomWe couldn't turn the radiator off, and the technician/member of staff came to help and said it just takes a while to switch off and it was turned off. That radiator was never turned off - it was broken. It was boiling in the room. The shower didn't have an adequate lip before it reached the floor, so the water flooded the bathroom floor the whole stay - it wasn't clogged at all, it was just badly designed. The staff members seemed a bit passive-aggressive/rude. No soap/shampoo so I'm glad we brought our own. Not enough coffee provided in the room either. I'm assuming this is all due to us having the cheapest room, these issues would probably not be in one of the more expensive rooms.
Great location, good beds and the room was a nice size. Fancy lobby and I assume other fancy rooms (we had a cheap room but it did the job).

United KingdomThe venue seriously needs an upgrade and something also needs to be done about the door to the stairs on the third floor because it kept slamming shut whenever someone opened it and it would jolt us awake. The radiator in the room also kept making noise throughout the night so be barely got any sleep. There is also no way I’m even plugging in the kettle, which looks positively prehistoric. As for the staff, every morning we would get a knock on the door from the maid even though we had the DND sign on the door, and when we checked in they barely spoke to us or give us any details regarding the hotel (they didn’t even bother to mention that we might need a code to re-enter the premises!). Even though I had selected the option to pay at check in, money was taken out of my account the day before. In this case it was fine, but what if I had planned on paying with a different card or split with my friend?

Really liked it. I had a single room which was lovely decor and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was lovely and modern. I was running late so never got to try the breakfast which was included in my booking but I’m sure it would have been lovely! This hotel was a pleasant surprise
