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.).

United KingdomOverall it’s a great hotel with great staff. Maybe a little overpriced compared to other comparable hotels. But still great location. Again staff like Lalith and the crew are very good
The views from the hotel are spectacular. The flower garden is very pretty. Our room was spacious and clean. We had dinner at the plate which was very good. Service and hospitality from Lalith was excellent he was knowledgeable and friendly. Same for breakfast in the morning. Breakfast gets busy with people who have just hiked mini Adams peak. It’s right at the bottom of the trail and a good location for this. Overall it’s a great hotel with great staff. Maybe a little overpriced compared to other comparable hotels. But still great.

HungaryProbably it was just my room - as it was a top floor corner room - but there was a slight moldy smell, I guess, roof needs attention in this extremely rainy period.
Very good location, beautiful garden, large room with huge terrace and a jacuzzi! Great view to the valley and mountain peaks.

CanadaThere is hot water capacity during high occupation and peak ours. This could be a capacity issue of the hot water system. My suggestions: For a shorterm solution, temperature setting of the hot water should be increased at least by 10 degrees. Improvements: Basement hallway brick floor was uneven and potential to falling. It would be better to have a covered pathway between the kitchen and the restaurant to improve food safety. Highly recommended a flatsheet on the beds particularly people who don't like heavy use of air conditioning.
Location was very good. Front desk and serving staff very good. House keeping staff particularly Malkanthi was very quick to care our needs. Food was good with local and international flavors. We really enjoyed having conversation with all levels staff. We recommend this hotel.

NetherlandsIn our opinion the price is too high for what you get. We booked the deluxe two person room with private swimming pool and due to the colder weather and the pool was not heated it was too cold to use. Breakfast was fine.
The spacious room and that they arranged a breakfast package early in the morning for our train trip.
