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.).

Czech RepublicI expected more comfort and service for this price. It’s more like hostel - a lot young people, no service by breakfast, not so clean . It’s OK for one night, but for holiday I would choose an other hotel.

BelgiumThe rooms were not exactly like the pictures. They were small and not clean. The common bathroom was also not at our convenience; it was not that clean and the showers were not comfortable.
We appreciated the staff, that helped us whenever we needed something. We also received an extensive breakfast and had a nice common terrace.

Sri LankaBathrooms. They could have cleaned them. I don't think they are cleaned daily. Some of them were abandon. If they could repair them and start to use them, a better experience can be offered.
Breakfast - It was prepared well, but I am glad if there were few options to choose. Room - The cleanliness of the room was in a good level, but not the bathroom. Location - Situated in a strategical place in Colombo, and it was good too.

IndiaRooms are small. No natural ventilation, only AC. Can get a bit claustrophobic for folks who are used to having more windows and space to walk around.
The staff were super cheerful and helpful, and by far the best part of our stay! Bed was comfy, great water pressure in the shower, the AC worked. Super convenient location.

My bed wasnt good at all, i could feel the springs in the bed and i woke up with a bad back every morning. This was my second stay here, the first was 5 years ago, but im not staying here a third time.

Czech RepublicBreakfast choice and space were insufficient. We suggest you focus more on breakfast conditions. The first floor was in bad shape, too humid, AC dropping on walls, smell and fungus. The bunk bed had no barrier, which is not safe for children. Second stay was on the second floor and was excellent
For both stays (different floors and rooms), the price and location were good. Internet and breakfast were available. The personnel were helpful. Location close to shopping area and to the beach. Easy to get a tuk tuk
