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.).

New ZealandThe kitchen is small for all the people staying there. There is no room for bags of food, and no glasses, only cups. Some bathrooms were out of service, as the water heater of the wall at the kitchen.

New ZealandIt would have been great to have the option of a later check out. Didn't realise that the free WiFi finished at midnight. Was 15 minutes late checking out and the key-card seemed to stop working then, which meant we couldn't access the section with the lift and had to carry our bags down three flights of stairs.
Nice room. Quiet. Central location. Good to be able to store luggage for the afternoon after we checked out.

SpainThe bedding didn't look very clean, the pillows case, etc. They duvet that was on my bed wasn't the right size and wasn't even a duvet, was a small bed mattress cover!). I went downstairs I think they only wash the sheet that the give you, because the duvet sheet and the sheet covering and the hostel friendly staff lady apologised and brought to my room straigh away another one, the correct size of duvet. the mattres sheet didn't look clean. They smell... and didn't look fresh No plug to charge your phone close to the bed. Specially if you are on the top of the bunk bed! Also, in order to have electricity in the room (and for the plugs to work) someone in the room has to keep their room card in the thing, connected! So if you need to go to the toilet or downstairs, you need to get your card to get into the room and open tje corridor doors for security, the phone you left in the room is not charging. Unless that someone else put their card in. I haven't seen this ever! And it is not a nz thing because I have been travelling in the north island for a while these days. Toilets are just ok, only 1 shower and 1 toilet per side of the corridor. A bit small too. Depends on the time of the day, they were clean or not
Location, just a short walk to Te Papa museum, and the popular Cuba street and all the restaurants and cafés. Also, close to the cable car station and the main shopping area. The bus stop to the airport is around the corner. So convenient! Very friendly and helpful staff, all great!
