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 KingdomUpon arrival. The welcome was cold. We were ask ‘are you okay?’ Not Hi hello welcome? No smiles exchanged. Limited information provided. Keys handed and then took a phone call so we didn’t get to ask any questions. Such as how do we get to the room ? Late check out Etc etc. Complementary drinks were offered though which was nice. The room was very warm and there didn’t appear to be aircon. The bathroom door was really noisy. The mechanism might need some attention. The view from the room was scaffolding and nothing else . Although not a massive deal… we are in the city centre. Would have been nice to had a warning or offered an alternative room. As we had plans to go out and it was just a short stay could tolerate it. The last thing there was no safe in the room.
Nice room and very comfortable bed. Lovely smell through out the building. Majority of staff were very helpful and friendly

United KingdomThe hot water had to run for about 3 minutes before it went warm/hot.
Lovely staff, fast check in, great room. We loved that there was a steamer instead of an (usually cheap!) iron, and that the toiletries in the room were of a luxury standard. Decor is modern and stylish. The whole building was extremely clean. Dinner in the restaurant was great too - the staff at The Alan couldn’t have been more accommodating.

United KingdomIt was a comfortable bed but the pillows weren’t great unfortunately. Quite lumpy and thin which I was surprised at considering it’s a more upmarket hotel.
Gorgeous room, beautiful and calming interior and great value for money for something a little more up market. Lovely friendly staff and great location.

NorwayThe breakfast, and the standard double room.
The rooms are good, but you should upgrade to the next roomcategory from standard double. Standard double was not good, but the next roomcategory was much, much better! Really beautiful rooms when not in the standardroom. Harmony at the front desk is a saint. Good service from everyone who works at The Alan. Dont waist your money at the breakfast, it is really not worth it. Nor very good, and for 17 pounds you can eat much more and much better at the nearest Wetherspoons.

United KingdomThe thermostat / air con was difficult to adjust for appropriate temp as no indication which direction as was not aligned with dial. There temp of room was either to hot or cold and needed to keep adjusting would be better if was digital. Wires for kettle and fridge stretched too tight across corner of room an extension cord would be safer
Large spacious room. Good quality finishes, clean, welcoming friendly staff, comfy large bed, quiet.
