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...).

SwitzerlandI'm sensitive to noise and the windows really don't block the noise from the street, and you can hear a bit of noise from the nearby rooms, but I doubt the hotel can do anything since the building is old. For the same cause the water temperature in the showers can be tricky, but it's overall ok. The curtains also don't completely block out the light. You just have to be aware of it if you come, take earplugs and an eyemask if you are hypersensitive like me. The hours of breakfast stop a little early for me, but same thing, it's not a big deal.
The breakfast, the tenants/staff, and the way the room was arranged were really great, especially for a small space. The staff was really accomodating and helpful, and everything is perfectly clean. The price is really correct for this kind of location

United KingdomAdmittedly, my own fault for forgetting to pack some, but I couldn't seem to find any shower gel or shampoo, perhaps I didn't look thoroughly enough, but found none in my bathroom.
Let us check in early which was perfect as we had reservations earlier than 3pm. Although we never had breakfast, the room looked very well setup and had a good spread, would recommend for a weekend away in Brighton to anyone.

ItalyThe water pressure in the shower was poor and took a while to get warm, so showering took long. Opted not to shower the last morning just so we could check out on time. Our room faced onto the road that buses come up and idle at a junction so can be quite noisy early in the morning and pretty much all day into the night.
Breakfast was excellent and they catered for us as vegans. It's always great having a cooked breakfast and buttered toast and plant milk for coffee which rarely happens, so I usually avoid bed and breakfasts. The location is excellent because we love Kemptown.

United KingdomRoom small and on the day of my stay very hot. Window opened but because location on busy road it was simply too noisy. Fan provided which did help a little. TV in room not fit for purpose, too small and aerial not working well. Toilet on separate floor upstairs. Shower functional but lacked water pressure and was somewhat dated.
The host was friendly and courteous. Breakfast was delicious. Location good overall. Communal Living room which came in very useful.
