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.).

MexicoBathroom floor was dirty both days. There was a gap between the door and the window so it got a bit chilly at night.
Super attentive, helpful and friendly staff. Very comfortable room. Good breakfast. My flight left at night so they let me check out until 8pm with no additional cost.

SwitzerlandThe location is ideal, conveniently close to the Village Market and the UN compound. The staff are exceptional—very kind and welcoming, especially Sofia, who is always smiling and eager to help. The two gentlemen at the reception were also incredibly helpful, kind, and understanding. Together, they make you feel right at home. I would definitely return!

ThailandThe room was a little dusty but that's just nit picking.
Could not fault this hotel, the room was beautiful, bed was comfy, the breakfast and meals in the restaurant were excellent. All the staff couldn't do enough for us. We wanted to go to the local shopping mall and they drove us there and picked us up without charge. The hotel is located near the UN building and many embassies so the area is very safe.

FranceThere was some renovation going in the gym, but I could use the other venue, 10 min walk away, same property (Lions villa I)
The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing, always ready to help - the restaurant personnel, administrators, driver, all the staff! Very good cuisine - cudos to the chef and baristas, especially for coffee and masala tea ☕️. I stayed there almost two weeks and by the end it felt almost like a family;)

New ZealandThe internet was off and on. I had to ring reception as they changed the network name and password without notice. Also there was a large screen TV in my room but it’s was not connected to anything, no TV, no in-house movies or channels. Lastly I only realized after checking it that it is a halal guest house, ie no pork or alcohol which isn’t a big deal but it would have been nice to know at the time of booking, maybe I missed it. I would stay again simply due to the location and proximity to the UNON.
Location is right next to the United Nations Office Nairobi and United States Embassy. You can not get any closer. Staff are very efficient and friendly. They arranged a very professional and comfortable shuttle back to the airport for m. Overall a great place, great staff and I would definitely stay here again.

United StatesWe loved everything, the only thing we wished would have been better was the shower - it was a very updated shower but the water was only warm from the hand wand or the wall, the rain shower only had cold water and it made it so when we showered water got everywhere in the bathroom.
It was unique and felt very upscale while also being family-friendly. We had appointments at the IOM and the US Embassy so the location was perfect.
