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.).

AustraliaWe found nothing to dislike but you must be aware that budget rooms are very small. Fine if you only have cabin bags but would not be suitable for anyone with large suitcases. At first we thought the noise from the nearby mosque might be annoying but it didn’t bother us at all.
Excellent location in a quiet street, walkable distance to many attractions and also close to the tram which is efficient and easy to use. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful, especially Kemal who even walked us to the corner to locate our airport taxi, and Sener who also helped us the day we were leaving. The bed was very comfortable and our room was kept perfectly clean.

United KingdomSometimes Wi-Fi wasn’t working. There were big marks of killed mosquitos on the ceiling and walls. The curtains don’t block the light in the morning. The pillow was quite uncomfortable (just my opinion).

GermanyThey tried to make a profit for for the airport transportation(with a taxi which should have a fixed rate but asked us to pay the money to them instead). I accepted their price(it was only 10 euros more than the normal price so not a super big deal) and thought of it as a tip but that wasnt very kind of them.
The isolation was really good, the beds were comfortable and the location was supreme. The staff was also helpful mostly.

I love my room, the hotel location is walking distance to the Galataport, boat dock or pier (from Karakoy- Eminonu- Kadikoy) with heaps of restaurants nearby, few mins walk to Galata tower uphill, and I also like the free coffee and hot chocolate vending machine on the 6th floor with nice view. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks to Farouk and the other guy in the front desk.

United StatesThe room’s hvac system switched from cooling to heating twice and once was in the middle of the night and I woke up sweating. My stay would have been perfect except for that.
I felt very safe at the hotel and surrounding area as a solo traveler. I really appreciate that they organized my 2:30am taxi transfer to the airport and walked me to the taxi (hotel is on a narrow road closed to traffic).

Malaysia1. Room is small and maybe very tight to accommodate luggage for 2 people. 2. No breakfast but there are cafes nearby.
1. Room is comfortable and clean 2. The customer service is excellent. Our check out day happened to be on Labour Day and all roads were closed making it difficult for us to go to the airport. Farouk at the reception was very helpful and extended our room stay until our transport got us. 3. Location is superb 4. Very nice terrace on the 6 floor.
