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 Arab EmiratesTheir food selection was mediocre and service was just ok. For instance for the amount of money and it being a country with a lot of fresh fruits, I didn’t see a point service canned fruits or having only 3 selections of fruits to choose from.
The location is incredible. It has this old British style and the grounds were well kept. Definitely an older hotel that has been renovated to modern upkeep. Loved the amenities.

PakistanI had reserved six rooms for a four-night stay and timely intimated for an early check-in at the hotel, aligning with our flight itinerary. Despite this, upon arrival, we were not accommodated with the early check-in, resulting in a prolonged wait of seven hours in the lobby. Considering that my colleagues and I had endured a journey exceeding 18 hours, this delay significantly compounded the discomfort of our travel experience. Experiencing a delay in check-in after a long flight was indeed exhausting and frustrating.
The breakfast was good mix of local as well as continental cuisines. Really liked fresh fruits and availability of 'Halal' food items on the menu.

NetherlandsMaybe a cultural thing, but the staff is overactive and always very close, which gives us the feeling we are watched every moment (no privacy). We dropped a spoon and within 2 seconds a waiter was there to pick it up.
The theme of the hotel is great, the whole way the hotel is built with a skybridge between the buildings is great. The pool is great and clean. Waterfalls, small fishponds and other small details really give a nice impression.

GermanyWe arrived on a Saturday where the dinner buffet was offering a bigger selection of food and set the bar higher, which was not matched on the following nights. Dinner was available starting at 7 p.m., we arrived directly at 7 where we spotted some nice chocolate cream for desert which we eyeballed at. When we came to desert at around 7.45 pm the desert was already gone and they told us there where no refill comming, which for a 5* hotel I'm expecting the offered food remains longer than 45 minutes. The shower was not able to keep its temperature and was changing from lukewarm to nearly boiling hot. Also something I'm expecting different from such an establishment.
The rooms were 5 star worthy with a beautiful view, size was really nice and the staff had been super friendly and nice. The breakfast buffet was good with a big selection. For dinner there was live music. The dinner buffet on a Saturday was offering a wider selection of food.
