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.).

GermanyI was surprised that I wanted to go to breakfast as a hotel guest, only to be told by the person at the table that I would have to wait. Which I don't actually find unpleasant, but I can see lots of empty tables right in front of me. That is not understandable for me. It was only when another manager saw that I had been turned away that he apologised and assigned me a table directly, explaining that there are a lot of reservations on Sundays and they are reluctant to allocate tables. So this time 9 out of 10.
The hotel is great, a little formal, yet equipped with all the things I like. Fitness centre, good bar, good restaurant, breakfast is varied and the location is very good for exploring the city from there.

AustraliaThe shuttle bus only operates until 10pm, so after this time, you need to walk up the hill to get to the hotel. Also, the airport shuttle does not come up to the hotel, so you will need to make your way down to the airport bustop and wait there.
Spacious room, comfortable bed, well-equipped gym, nice amenities, internal shuttle bus operates to get you to the subway station, the staff speak English.

CanadaIt was busy - we personally prefer quiet. There was a conference taking place during our stay. The soundproofing of the room was also lacking. We could hear some conversations next door, kids in the hallway and music coming from the outdoor pool on Saturday as well as the sound of traffic. Also, rooms are quite small for American standards, given we had an upgrade. If I may, I’d like to compare the room condition/availability of things between SHILLA Seoul and our experience in Shangri-La. I had to ‘ask’ for things at SHILLA and those things were already anticipated in Shangri-La ( again, sorry for comparing) We would pay extra for details and above and beyond. I just did not think those things were consistent at the SHILLA. T overall though, we did enjoy our stay and we will come back
Location is amazing and a selling factor to us. We thought the building was underwhelming from an architectural stand point, the inside is what matters though. We thought it was beautiful, one of a kind with superb service
