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.).

FranceDuring our stay we lext early one morning and had shut out door as usual, the door automatically shuts regardless but coming back in the evening we found our door WIDE open. Naturally this came as a shock to me and my partner. My partner went and talked to the staff and they were very helpful. Nothing was stolen but you can imagine our faces when we saw our room public to the whole hotel.
The staff were very kind and welcoming. The room was good looking aside a couple of cleanliness things. A nice neighbourhood. We enjoyed our stay overall.

United KingdomThe room had a fan which was helpful but it would need AC in peak summer. Its near a big hospital and can get noisy at night as there was a big delivery truck come there at 2am in the night and it got too noisy - may be we were unlucky and the delivery came on the night we were there...
The location was good close to restaurants and underground.

NorwayIt was not exactly the same sleeping couch that was in the picture, the ones we got was not very uncomfortable to sleep on. .you feel the ridges under the foam. we asked for extra matress to make it more softer, but they did not have any ekstra, all we got was extra sheets. Not enough space for a family of 5 person The carpet was not clean and asked the staff to clean it day after. They did came but still was not proper cleaned. Unfortunately outside in the street outside of our window there were people hanging around and smoking weed every night and making loud noises.
The staff was very positive and gave good service,

United KingdomIt was a hot day about 25°C outside but the room was so incredibly hot. Even with the window open and the fan on. The fan was so high up on the wall whilst in bed nobody could feel it. I’ve never been so hot of a night before even abroad. The heat was just so uncomfortable. There was also a horrible drain smell coming from the bathroom. When we intially arrived we left the bathroom door open whilst we left to get food and when we came back the whole room stunk so we realised why and shut the door. Luckily after time it went away
not far from the tube station, easy to find. Liked that there was a toaster, microwave and spacious fridge

TaiwanIt shows the check-in time is until 23:30 on Book.com, and we checked twice from the customer service of the hotel. They said it was until 23:30. But when we arrived the counter said the check-in time would close at 9:30, and then they charged us.

ItalyThe windows were not very accessible, which made it hard to ventilate the area. The sofa beds weren't the most comfy but they did the job. The sink faucet + the soap dispenser didn't work super well. However these are all small things.
It was very clean and the staff were very helpful and kind. It was very close to the tube. There was a kettle and a mini fridge which was useful. We were all satisfied and it met our needs. Also it looked cute)

United KingdomVery friendly staff and easy check-in/check-out process. They have a kettle, iron and hairdryer in the room, and provide tea and biscuits. I kept my bag and room keys at reception on check-out day since I had to leave for a meeting at 6 am and did not when I would be back at the hotel. The staff let me use my room again when I reached the hotel at 10:30 am. The location is not super super safe but I had no issues as a solo female traveller. Overall, good experience.

United KingdomPoor check in process. Understaffed and overstretched. Nowhere to sit and wait. Was left outside with nowhere to go for 45 minutes which I didn't appreciate as a solo traveller. Made me feel quite vulnerable. Eventually a guest let me in to sit on the floor in the hall where a family was also waiting for someone to check us in. The staff member was very responsive on the phone but kept saying they would be x minutes, but x minutes came and went a few times. Pretty poor start and it would put me off staying here again, especially having already given my check -in time in advance upon request from the hotel. Not 100% convinced of the safety of the electric sockets, seemed a bit poorly fitted, some sockets and extension leads weren't working.
Very clean and comfortable. The staff were very responsive and polite. Great to have a hairdryer and iron provided. The fan was a very welcome addition. Very light room, spacious.

IrelandStayed for a week but we only had our room cleaned once so room felt kind of dirty after some time, noticed it wasn't a proper clean i.e. floors were still dirty. Room was quite small so was hard to move around in and the sink was hard to use because it was very small and height was unusual.
Staff were great and location was also great for the price. Booked a few months in advance and booked a double room but unfortunately one of the rooms we got were on the smaller side, not ideal for multiple luggages. Staff working at the time was very helpful and were willing to change our room the next day but unfortunately it was a busy time so unable to change the rooms. Room also came with iron & blow dryer, shampoo, body soap & hand soap which is great.
