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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 States62-yr-old female solo traveler here. This hotel was a delight! Gorgeous old place, I loved the antique elevator. You can't beat the location. The room was simply charming, right down to the fresh flower in the vase. The staff even gave me access to the rooftop so I could stargaze.

CanadaThe hotel was downtown, close to tourist sights. Lots of people walking in the evening. So, it is a safe place to walk in evening. Although I only walked until 11:00pm. Always the odd homeless person anywhere downtown. It is a good hotel, but if you stay on weekends, there will be noise from bars close by. The staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomBreakfast is just coffee and a few cakes so it's more of a light snack than a meal.
A really charming characterful old hotel in the heart of the city and in a quiet side street. My room was on the top floor and was a lovely surprise being bright and airy and having a delightful roof terrace with a partial view of the cathedral. The room was very clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom and shower. It had very high ceilings which showed some paintwork issues but this was easily overlooked for the charm of the place. The receptionists were very pleasant and smiley, and although they didn't speak English my basic Spanish got me through. I only stayed one night but I was very pleased with my choice and had a very pleasant sleep and stay. And the room was great value too.

Friendly, location; however, it would be bad on a Sunday. Everything in the old town is closed, even Starbucks; however if you were to go on a day trip or uber somewhere else in the city it would be fine.

BrazilAll perfect. Nothing to complain about.
For those who like the style of old European cities, which Montevideo’s Ciudad Vieja itself is much alike, the Hotel Palácio embodies this very own concept all over. It was a great experience, from the old style elevator to the furniture and decoration of the whole building. For me, it was part of the experience of being in Montevideo. Furthermore, the room service is very nice, they changed towels and soap everyday, and the team was always there to help me find my way around the city. The location is another great factor, as I could reach some really important spots of the Oldtown by walking only a few meters, like Plaza Independenzia, the City Gate and the Teatro Solís. Totally recommend it to those who don’t mind a bit old style furniture and some cracks on the walls — for me, it was part of the Uruguayan charm.
