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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomBeing ground floor, some security device is needed on window to enable opening at night.
Room had expected facilities. Comfortable bed. Only one pillow per person, needed two. Cleanliness was so so - a cigarette on the floor was interesting for a no-smoking room. Power socket by dressing table was 50% u/s. The shower and hot water were excellent. Breakfast was good.

PolandThe room that I was staying in for a few days would require some refreshing. The same goes for the bathroom. However, I don't have very high expectations, so it was OK for me.
Hotel very well situated. Has its own pub with a large selection of beers and very good food. Live sports broadcasts. Staff very open and helpful.

United KingdomThe rooms could use some renovation. For the price I expected an actual hotel. I’d be happy to pay £75 a night for this type of room.
Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, pub with kitchen right across the hall. More of a roadside inn than a hotel but that’s not a dealbreaker.

United KingdomThe room had skylights, one without a blind and no way to open them to get some air in. The room smelt musty and wasn’t very clean. Very old carpet that has seen better days. Bed mattress needs improving and should be a king size rather than a double. No parking.
Large room. Friendly staff. Lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. Very pleasant evening meal and great selection. Parking close by in Trinity car park and very reasonable.

United KingdomThe bathroom was very tired and could benefit hugely from a lick of paint - there was mould on the ceiling, the radiator was very stained, and the shower and sink were grimy round the edges / seals stained, although they were clean enough in general. Everything worked, though.
Location was perfect for our needs, room was large, and bed comfortable.
