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 StatesThe room itself was kind of drab and the walls looked kind of like they could use a scrubbing. The room itself was definitely functional and comfortable enough, but certainly nothing special.
Very cool place. Wonderful restaurant. Breakfast was amazing. Fantastic service.

We loved its unique blend of ancient and modern. The culmination of culture, elegance and quirky architectural detail, all encapsulated in a literary lover’s heaven! We also loved the huge and comfortable bed and pillows. The location is very convenient and it was easy to walk to the town’s main attractions.

Israel. We ordered 3 rooms out of which one had hot water after 10 ninutes of streaming waters. I was told that this is due to the age of the hotel. It would have been better to notify that in advance before one take a shower.
The place looks beautiful and the location was great.

PortugalThe room was a bit small; windows faced a patio and have no curtains, so to have a bit more privacy we had to close the shutters and be a bit in darkness.

United StatesThe hotel is housed in an old monastery. It is stuffed with books, which is fantastic for those who love reading and exploring bookshops and libraries. It was perfect for us! The room was spacious, a lovely bathroom with a bath. Very comfortable bed. Powerful AC, which is a must in Portugal in summer. Super close to the city walls, but very quiet at night. Breakfast was lovely. We dined in the restaurant once, and it was superb! Very nice and helpful staff!

United Statesthe mattresses were terrible, maybe still from the convent? i bruise easily— with that said, the springs gave me actual bruises! we had two twin beds and my friend slept terribly also. also, with 70,000 books around… i didn’t like that they chose to feature a series on HITLER (in big red letters) right at the check in desk. very offputting.
loved the breakfast, the styling of the main bar, and the front desk hostess

The staff in the hotel were great. The books are a bit repetitive but quite cheap with more expensive rare editions. The room didn‘t look anything like the pictures but it was nice.
