Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaUnfortunately our room was on the first floor overlooking the bins. We were woken very early by the sound of the rubbish being put out (crashing bottles etc) and then again when the very noisy garbage trucks backed in. Next time, I will request a room on a higher level, but we had a very good value deal so I understand that may be why we got the noisy 'rubbish room'.
Neat and tidy, brilliant location, super easy and friendly check in, bar fridge was stocked, iron worked well, decent room and comfy beds.

AustraliaThere's a window in between the bathroom and bedroom. When I visited the bathroom when my hubby was asleep, the light shone into the bedroom and woke him up. The window makes the bathroom less private and it serves no purpose at all.
We were upgraded. Balcony overlooking the sea Comfortable bed. We were rescued by the staff in the laundry who dried the only pair of long pants I had after a disaster in the previous hotel. They were really lovely. The barmaid was very nice and made us feel welcome (the one with the colourful hair)

United KingdomA little overpriced for what it was. We moved rooms and had some lost property in the first room but were only alerted to it days after we left - fortunately we had realised and collected it but it would have been much more helpful if we had been alerted at the time rather than so long after.
Great location. Basic but comfortable accommodation.

United KingdomThe bathroom fan could not be turned off. We did ask reception and they said nothing could be done. So it was a bit noisy overnight.
We had a top floor view room overlooking the beach. Just watching the surfers was very relaxing. A few restaurants within walking distance and an ice cream shop just across the road. 2 mins walk to the tram to get to other parts of Newcastle.

AustraliaThe view from the room was looking over the carpark. This may need to be advised to customers when you are requesting if they wish to upgrade, we were asked if we wanted to upgrade but chose not to, thinking that all views would be ok, but ours was not the greatest.
