Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaDrink prices were on the high side (there are in pounds sterling, after all), and there was very little shelf space in the bathroom. I pack pretty tight, but I prefer to keep my stuff dry.
Pretty much everything. At the pub's suggestion, I kept the "big bag" downstairs (as did everyone else). The room was completely modern with A/C, comfy bed, and decently equipped bathroom.

United KingdomThe door that leads to the corridor where all the rooms are was right next to my room. That door kept getting slammed every time someone opened it so I was woken up at 7am by someone who kept slamming the door (probably taking bags out of their room)
The room was clean and you could tell it has been recently refurbished. The bed was very comfy. I especially loved the AC.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn’t like was the noise, this is a very busy part of town with quite a few pubs and bars, so the noise was quite loud into the early hours.
The location was great for us because we wanted to be close to St May’s Stadium. The room was clean, breakfast was lovely and the staff were all very friendly.

Friendly staff and a cheerful check in. Breakfast was so delicious, the room was opulent and very clean. Can’t fault anything and the bathrobes and chocolates were most welcome. The decor is well thought out and colour schemes relaxing. We appreciated being able to leave our bags in the office for a couple of hours.

AustraliaWe asked for directions to a nearby laundrette and ended up on a wild goose chase that resulted in frustration. It would be helpful for staff to be across this - but this was a minor hiccup.
We booked two rooms for a night before embarking on our cruise. The staff were warm and helpful, they really made us feel valued. The rooms were gorgeous and our inclusive breakfast was delicious. Late check out was accommodated with ease.
