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...).

United KingdomThe entryway with self check in was very small. There was another guest checking in when we arrived and they seemed to be having some trouble with the kiosk, so we had to wait outside for about 10 min
The location was excellent, close to the Botanical Gardens and on the bus route to the City Centre. There had clearly been a lot of effort and expense incurred in upgrading the property recently and the room was just lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the property was very quiet. The bathroom was modern, spacious and the shower was amazing

CanadaI would have preferred to have an onsite host. I had a couple of issues that would have been easier and quicker to resolve if someone had been available to talk to. Also, my cell signal wasn't very strong in that area, which meant I couldn't use my phone in the building. The signal was better outside, I discovered later.
The room was comfortable and well equipped. It was spacious and very clean. A few issues I had were quickly solved. (The check in was easy except that my cellphone signal was not very strong there, so I couldn't access the email about checking in, so would have had an issue if I couldn't remember the booking code.)

NetherlandsThe room was not very clean, a lot of dust on the night stands and on the chair in the room and black hairs in the bed. Also the shower holder was broken and the toilet lid fell of the toilet every time you tried to put it down.
The bed was very comfortable and the room is big enough for a couple of nights, same as the bathroom which was comfortable as well! Very quick check in and the location price ratio was perfect!

CanadaJust a small thing: the 10 am check-out was a bit early, but we did have the option to arrange for a later check-out at a small fee.
The studio was perfect for our needs. It was a good size and was very clean. The kitchen was great for breakfast and snacks, and is well equipped if you want to cook more. The bathroom was big and the shower was great - lots of hot water. We liked the outdoor sitting area and would have used it if the weather had been better. The self check-in was intuitive and easy to use. The location is not that far of a walk from the High Street or Cowley Rd. and is close to a bus stop. We found it nice and quiet. We were able to arrange a check-in an hour earlier, which we appreciated. Communication with the property was clear and proactive. If we had a question they were very responsive. We would be happy to stay here again.

United KingdomA fridge would be useful and the kettle could do with a limescale cleaning. But these are trivial matters!
Ours was a compact but cosy room. But everything inside is modern, comfortable and tastefully decorated to a high standard. It's located a bit out of the city (20 minute walk) but we took the bus (5 minutes to the centre) which stops just outside the house, (you need numbers 3, 3A or X40). It's on a fairly main road but the house was pretty quiet when we stayed. The garden view is lovely and the bed is comfortable. It's a self check in, the machine issues your key card. I'd happily stay here again, something I don't often say!

United KingdomReally strongly dislike the fact that you cannot check in until 4pm (unless you pay £10/hr) yet must check out by 10am (6 hour turnaround?). 4pm is late for check in and all check ins are automated via a computer at the door (which is pretty cool actually) so what is this £10/hr paying for?! I honestly wouldn't have minded if the owner had said that we couldn't access the room earlier because eg. the cleaner is booked for a certain slot etc but the fact that you can for a price - especially such a high price - is, quite frankly, wrong. We found a couple of great apps: UseBounce, Radical Storage and Stasher which all allow you to store your luggage safely in the center of the city (multiple locations dotted around) for just £5 all day! We used Bounce, it was great.
Room was extremely clean, large comfy bed, communication with the owner was good, easy to check in, next to a bus stop so quick and easy access to the city.
