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 KingdomI booked a luxury suite but the bed was far too soft, the over bath shower had a mind of its own and a bulb in the bathroom was flickering. The bathroom was clean but there was ingrained mould in the sealant. Overall, it felt like it needed sprucing up.
It was quiet, reasonably priced and in a nice location. The staff were pleasant and helpful as well.

United KingdomShower - it was either too hot or too cold - no in between. The fan used to 'cool' the room down was partially blocked with dust/fluff - I had to clean the vents for cleaner and better air flow. No lift - hard to carry luggage up the stairs.
Quiet location close to transport facilities and walking distance into CBD area. Good kitchen facilities. Comfortable bed.

United KingdomA couple of fixtures and fittings looked a bit worn out but nothing that really bothered me. A fraying net curtain and curtain tie back etc. There was a flickering light in the bathroom which was a bit annoying and I couldn't get the shower head to stay in it's holder when switched on the pressure pushed it out and sprayed water all over the floor.l so I had to just hold it while showering. Hot and cold was difficult to balance.
Check in was easy even as a late check in. Room was clean and comfortable and serviced each day. kitchenette had all the essentials. Rooms were a good size and the bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomContacted property weeks before about checking in midday and paying the additional for this as we had an event we had to get ready for and reception said they would do their best to fulfil this. I stay a 2 hour drive from Edinburgh and after entering the place was told it wouldn’t be possible after trying to contact them multiple times even though the boys in front of us got handed their keys and told their room could be ready in the next 10 minutes? We were a group of girls with suitcases and as you know it takes us a lot longer to get ready than a boy so I don’t understand why they got priority over us?
The location was excellent, comfortable beds and nicely decorated studio.

United KingdomI had at first booked Palmerston Suites later before my check in I received an email that due to unforeseen circumstances I was being relocated to one of its sister properties - Grosvenor Suites. It was a very nice apartment based just around the corner within 2 min of walk from Palmerston Suites. The property was so good that I could not complain and had a very good stay with no issues.
The property was close to main attractions of the city, room was huge with all facilities with a kichenette as in a studio apartment, easy access to the property with a separate unique code provided for self check in and check out.
