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 KingdomThis was our first stay at this hotel, but it certainly won't be the last! We were met with a lovely, bright lobby and an equally lovely, bright, welcoming young man on Reception. Our room was modern, clean, and spacious with a sofabed, and the mini-fridge was very useful. We found the bed very comfortable. I suffer from lower back pain, especially upon waking, but I didn't experience any back pain at all in this bed. The hotel is perfectly situated for the Utilita Arena, which was only a short 7-8 minute walk away, and this Novotel will now always be our 'go to' hotel for any events held there. There was a lot of outdoor noise coming from weekend party revellers, but that's to be expected, given the hotel's location. However, free, disposable foam earplugs were available from Reception if needed. There was an impressive selection of food choices for breakfast, and the food quality was excellent and so delicious! The restaurant staff were attentive and friendly. The car park under the hotel is quite small, so would recommend getting there early to ensure you get a space.

United KingdomNot many sockets in the room. The toilet was in a separate room which had advantages but that meant that if someone was in the bathroom you couldn’t wash your hands. Only 2 mugs and 2 sachets of sugar provided for 3 people although we did get another 2 from reception on request.
The hotel was very modern and well presented. Staff were helpful and friendly with exceptional service in the dining room where the food was of a high standard. The room was clean and had plenty of towels and toiletries provided. There is a small car park under the hotel which was convenient.

United KingdomThe toilet fan was a bit noisy but that was only a little issue as there was 2 doors we could shut to drown it out. The air con wasn't very good either and it got a bit stuffy in the room and you can't open the windows
It's in a great location for the Utilia arena and lots of restaurants/bars

United KingdomThe price dispute was our only issue
We didn’t book breakfast until we arrived. There was a little dispute over the breakfast price as when we booked we were told it would be £12 per person but we were initially charged £13.50 per person. However, the duty manager honoured our booking price. Really very glad he did as we really enjoyed the breakfasts. I think it is probably one of the best hotel breakfasts that we’ve experienced, well cooked, plenty of variety and availability, great staff and service. We would like to single out your reception staff including Iuliana who were all very helpful and polite. Also the staff in the buffet breakfast.
