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.).

GreeceI didn't like that I had to enter the room through a balcony that was metallic and see through. Also, the room we stayed needs some love... painting,good cleaning and do something with the mold and needs better quality sheets and towels.Also the air conditioning could not be controlled and was unpleasantly cold.
The location is perfect. The staff is very helpful and the breakfast is great!

AustraliaThe AC was centralized meaning I couldn’t control the temp. I had a standard room which didn’t have a window, and only ventilation was through the internal of the building. This meant if the door was open, I would get the fishy restaurant smells, and if it was closed the only option was heat through the AC. It was very hot at night and the hotel wouldn’t change it as they weren’t allowed, despite it being quite warm.
Location was amazing! Valletta old town was definitely the best place to stay for restaurants, bars and access to everything such a tour picks ups, ferry etc.

United KingdomWe would not have booked if we’d known the lift did not work. Breakfast was at a remote location, much further away than advised. Food and service on first day was good. On two subsequent days, the staff were overwhelmed by demand. The shower needed a good clean.

SwedenFacilities looked like they were under construction. Lift was broken. Since there were no windows in the room there was little ventilation and a moldy or damp smell was present the entire stay.
Very central location, perfect for exploring Valletta. Breakfast was hosted at a nearby restaurant, basic buffet but prefect for the price.

CroatiaEntrance is confusing because there’s little sign which you can barely see. We didn’t have window in our room and the biggest issue is weird smell in room mixed with restaurant smell from hallway. Basically entrance of hotel is also kitchen entrance of some restaurant. We didn’t have door in the shower.
Great staff. They gave us two more hours for check out because I was sick that morning. Also location is perfect.

United KingdomIf you like a firmer bed, you are not going to enjoy this one. The bed was too soft for me. The shower walls were moldy. The air in the room was musty despite the ventilation system.
The location is outstanding, it’s very lively, lots of restaurants around, everything you need is within your reach. The staff was very helpful and someone was at the reception at all times during our stay. The bathroom water pressure was amazing.

United KingdomNo one on (tiny) reception desk at all during our stay, even though we were repeatedly told someone was coming. No directions or details of how to get there as taxi not allowed on road outside and taxi driver could not find it when we arrived. No need for code for outside glass door as broken and permanently open. Lift broken but rooms on floors 1 to 3 so ok for us. Kitchen on ground floor for restaurant outside (no connection to guest rooms) so entrance hall is a busy thoroughfare. Very noisy from live music a few doors down in front room 204 so we moved to rear room 203 which was fine but no exterior window. No instructions on how to use safe box in room (no code and not fastened down!). Had to rely on cleaning staff, waiters and messages via Booking.com to get any information.
Lovely warm room 203, very comfortable beds, great hot shower. Very modern and tasteful. Right in the centre of town on a pedestrianised street full of tables for cafes and restaurants.
