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.).

The hotel was a big pleasant surprise! The most exquisite people in the most amazing castle-like-building. I felt like a queen walking thru is corridors and regal looking stairs.

United StatesI can't imagine what could've been better! I didn't like leaving!!!
This hotel is a grand space in a perfect location. It's a glorious mixture of traditional and modern, offering just about anything and everything you might want or need (except no pool). We had a spacious room with plenty of amenities, snacks, etc. VERY comfortable, quiet, and beyond expectation. It was a total pleasure in every way. The attentive staff was welcoming, helpful, and always ready to answer questions about transit options, restaurants, shops, etc. My husband and I were treated like visiting royalty and loved every moment. Our room included FREE breakfast daily--a bountiful buffet of fresh and healthy options to start each busy day. We were able to borrow adapters to enable us to charge all our electronics, and felt totally safe coming and going. If /when we return to London, we'd absolutely stay at Kimpton Fitzroy.

I loved my stay but the queen room was rather tiny and the bathroom was impossible as it was so tight. Other than that this is a stunning architectural hotel and staff and facilities exceptional. Loved it just hoped my room was bigger

United KingdomThe room. It was fine. Clean. Had all the basic things you'd expect. But was a bit small, the sink was taking ages to drain meaning it would fill up whenever you used it, and the shower tray wasn't draining quick enough either, so it would overflow into the bathroom, which was very small, meaning you'd get wet socks if you went back in to use the sink.
The staff. Literally, the best and most helpful I've come across. Went above and beyond. Special thanks to Jason, but all of those we dealt with throughout our stay were fantastic.

United KingdomBeing asked for a 'tip' when we paid our bill rather than that being discretionary. We would have happily left a tip, but being asked for a certain amount was quite awkward for both us and the staff member.
Wonderful friendly staff, beautiful spacious modern room, Fantastic cocktail bar....wouldn't change a thing

AustriaI had an amazing stay at the Kimpton Fitzroy! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, the room very clean and classy and had a nespresso machine :) The location was great to roam around the city but quiet enough to get a good nights sleep, followed by a superb breakfast. I can very much recommend to everyone!
