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 KingdomWe stayed at the Municipal Hotel in Liverpool this September. The overall experience was excellent. Room was nice, clean, and well presented. Only issue would be the mirror is in the corner of the room near the door and it was quite dark even with the lights on. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the hotel is in a great location. Although the bar is expensive it is a nice area to have a drink and relax. Maybe would be nice to give a small discount per drink for guests who are staying at the hotel. We opted not to have breakfast in the hotel but did have a meal as we had an email promising a half price email and a free bottle of bubbly which they honored no questions asked even though the woman who agreed the discount had left the business. The food was lovely, but I would like to give a special mention to our waiter in the restaurant Mike Douglas. He was exceptional in every aspect. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, down to earth, polite, and just made the over all dining experience spot on. He was passionate about his job and working for the hotel and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed the full experience. He is an asset to the hotel. We would definitely stay again and because of the service in the restaurant would be happy to eat there again.

United KingdomRooms and corridors you can see they have tried, however they just miss the mark of a true five star hotel for me. Lacked the luxury feel of the main lounge and spa (just a bit cold looking). Further charging hotel guest £50pp to use the spa area (pool, steam, sauna etc etc.) I thought was bad taste, when all 5 star hotels I have stayed in offer it inclusive if staying in the hotel.
The main lounge is very attractive and comfortable. Good service, ambience, and nice place to sit and have drink day or evening. Spa was great too.

PortugalI must say, I got a tad disappointed to know the Spa and the Pool weren't included in the price (my mistake), but from my experience compared to the other reviews, if I paid 20£, I could use the pool for up to 4 hours which isn't expensive. Not trying to be picky, but there was an empty can of beer hidden in the wardrobe, besides that, everything was exceptionally clean and tidy and no complaints to be made.
For an hotel, this place feels like (and even better than) home. The Staff was extremely nice and friendly, they were able to do an early check-in and provide all the answers to the questions I had. They also have a type of Easter Egg/Scavenger Hunt for the more adventurous people that want to explore the hotel (at no additional charge) and have some included prizes and rewards, which unfortunately, I did not have time to participate in. The room I stayed in was super cozy, it was well equipped with an electric kettle, mini fridge, safe, good decoration (the bed even had 7 pillows! Yes I used them all, well, half), and the shiny cleaned en-suit bathroom provided way more than I was expecting, the toiletries were stocked, and got the chance to have my own bathrobe. Additionally, the room also has a really tall ceiling and windows, curiously enough, I've never been in a place like it, which made me feel like I was in a giants bedroom. I can't say much as I've only had the chance to stay for a night, definitely coming back and staying longer when the opportunity arises. Thanks for reading!

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like, my only criticism is the spa which there is a extra charge for, the sauna didn't seem to be working properly it was not ver warm the steam room was good but the third room l am not sure what that was for there didnt seem to be any warmth at all in there. When lusually l stay at other hotels the spa/pool is always included and l did not feel the extra charge was warranted for the facilities.
All the staff were very helpful, polite, and professional , especially the reception and concierge staff,, l was travelling on my own and the concierge helped in booking my tour bus ticket and advised of the places to visit his knowledge of Liverpool was very good, the reception staff were very helpful in advising of direction to places and advice on where to east/drink. I will definitely return to this hotel for my next stay in liverpool

United KingdomOur room felt a bit dated and basic (the one we booked couldn’t be used as there was an issue with the air conditioning unit). There was also a mix up at dinner regarding the wine we ordered and whilst this was ‘resolved’ on reflection we did still pay more than the one we ordered (which was out of stock and therefore substituted).
The ambience and feel of the cocktail bar, the location was great and the staff very helpful.

United KingdomNot very good value for money with regard to the facilities. The breakfast was very expensive and the quality didn’t reflect the price. I also think access to the swimming pool at least should be included in the room price. The extra charge for the pool / spa was unreasonable for only 2 hours access and the timings didn’t fit with our trip.
The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The decor was beautiful, particularly the bar area. Lovely room with a very comfortable bed.
