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.).

AustraliaVery steep walk to downtown, as it was an old building ceiling was low and had to watch your head, be aware that a fraternity house is close by, so because the room was right on the street you could hear party goers and people and cars going past.
Staff very welcoming and informative upon check-in. Took the time to show us on the map some points of interest such as tours and restaurants. Shown to our room, we had deluxe suite so very comfortable. Staff replaced bottles of water each day, linen, cleaned room and brought breakfast to the room at requested time. Overall a pleasant stay, close to downtown and with some amazing views.

CanadaThe space was awkward but it’s an old building. They did an amazing job with it already.
The staff were exceptional. They were so friendly and helpful. Also, it was a steep climb up to our rooms and they helped with our heavy luggage.

EstoniaUnfortunately, all the walls can be heard and the activities of all the neighbors can be heard. Some guests arrived very late and their room was right above ours. Unfortunately, they trampled and ranted there until midnight. It was hard to sleep. I understand that it is an old building and it can happen that all the floors creak and everyone's steps are heard.
Very interesting and distinctive interior. Very different from other hotels. We also liked the location in the middle of historical town. Close to walk to the shopping and restaurant streets.

United StatesIt seemed like the the bathroom got all wet super easily which was a little frustrating, and during the night we could hear the students walking, chanting, and singing right outside the door of our room since it opened up to the street. It was okay because we only spent one night there, so it was an interesting experience, but it definitely would've gotten old if we stayed multiple nights and that were happening every night.
breakfast, room, location. They gave us champagne, and upgraded us to a room with a jacuzzi. The woman at the front desk was really nice. The room was great and we had a nice view out our window.

United StatesVery difficult to find. Need to provide a land mark location because you have to park and walk to the location. I went round and round up and down very very (!)narrow streets/alleys and couldn’t find it. Luckily a local pointed me in the right direction…lol
From the outside it looks very plain, but the room was very nicely decorated. There was a circular jacuzzi tub in our room that was awesome after hiking around town all day.

AustraliaSolar Antigo Luxury is well-located near the funicular & near key university locations. Our apartment was very comfortable with funky decor. Everyone was incredibly helpful, especially assisting to work around our booking error. Definitely a great choice for Coimbra. We were apprehensive about the parking challenges, but helpful guidance from reception revealed parking to be no problem at all.

CanadaWashrooms were very small but this is medieval building so narrow spaces should be expected.
We had a very memorable stay at Coimbra Solar Antigo hotel. Hotel is located at the core of the old Coimbra nearby the Unvirestity. Breakfast was brought into our room in the morning and it was pretty good. Staff especially on the reception was welcoming and very caring, comfort and cleaninnes were exceptional. Overall this stay left us with quite unusual feeling because we felt that we got not only night at the hotel but a whole lot more of the unique experience with old historical buuilding, very unusual but quite comfy room design, beatufil city views from the small windows, and even singing studetns in their black robes on the old town streets.
