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.).

AustraliaThe outside entry /signage appeared dingy. The car park had a lot of litter. The reception area has a strong smell of a kind of cleaning agent. The double bed looked very comfortable but it sagged on the left side and one of the window blinds would not pull up evenly.
The location is excellent with Hagley Park/Botanical Garden across the road and the city square only a 20 minute walk away. The room was spacious, with generous natural light. Although on a busy intersection the double glazing

New ZealandThe shower room’s extremely tiny. Loud noise at night on the street. Parking’s very tricky, located on top floor and only about a dozen parking spaces while the hotel at least has 50 rooms so it’s not guaranteed parking and street parking is nearly impossible. We had to leave our car at the hotel and walk to get dinner one night since the parking lot was packed. Lots of graffiti in the parking lot make the place felt messy and unsafe.
Location is good. House keeping’s good. Bed’s comfortable. Staff friendly.

IsraelI had a slashed shower hose, I complained the next morning, and it was not fixed for the following 2 days, we stayed 3 nights. The clerk at the reception was surprised it was not fixed the following morning, said she will get it done, and when we returned, it was not done, so I didn't ask her the next morning. Also, the parking is a bit problematic, but overall it was fine. Just go over the room and fix stuff *before* guests complain. However, if they do complain, make sure it's actually fixed *after* they do, I'm not the boss...
The location was really good, and the surrounding restaurants made us hungry every time we went out The beds were comfortable and the view was amazing.

New ZealandTraffic was very loud! Not much sleep. Was a pain to hear the bathroom extractor fan going all the time, even when bathroom door was closed, but ended up opening the door to give better air-flow; very stuffy. Also same with the air-conditioner on, which was needed due to hot stuffy night.
