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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I was a bit disappointed of the rooms. Most of them small and not as light as I thought they would be (because of the pictures here on booking.com).
Very nice and helpful staff. Perfect location right in the centre. Nice decoration and styling. Great breakfast, good coffee.

Staff was a mix. Some really friendly (breakfast staff) others less so (reception). Our room was a room designed for people with limited mobility. When giving this feedback at reception, the "friendly" receptionist suddenly went 'cold' and shrugged her shoulders. The website pictures can be misleading. Overall it was only OK which makes it expensive for what it was in our case.
Great location Good breakfast

The metal teapot had in insecure lid and spilled tea when pouring. I had to get another teapot. The staff were most helpful in this. We were frequently asked if everything was satisfactory, it was, but every staff member was asking. I counted 7 times asked at breakfast . Good to see this, but perhaps if this task was allocated to 1 or 2 staff members, it wouldn't be so irritating.
Breakfast was excellent. It catered for every taste. Staff were in constant attendance.

I really didn't like that there is a coffee machine at breakfast but we were not offered to order a proper coffee. We were given bad, bitter filter coffee where we both wanted a double espresso. I also really dislike when hotels use powdered eggs at breakfast instead of fresh eggs. I know it is cheaper but it makes all the difference for the guest instead of having rubbery eggs. There's also a terrible smell near the bathrooms for all guests on the first floor. This was on the way to our room so it drifted down the hallway. I assume it's from the plumbing which probably cannot be helped but it doesn't make for a pleasant experience. Finally, while I appreciate the discounted parking, please don't advertise that you offer parking when you don't actually offer parking.
The location is excellent! I also really appreciated the discount for parking. I like that they had both shampoo and conditioner (small detail) and grooming kits in case you forgot anything. The bed was mostly comfortable. The breakfast was decent.

Overall liked and would come back. Just some small areas that did not meet my expectation but things can not always be perfect Got missed for ordered breakfast and had to go find someone to order. Ordered the avocado on toast was not good needs to be made simpler i.e no salad or salad on side, fresh avocado without to much mixed with it avoid soggy bread. Maybe one sun dried tomatoes or a fresh one. Other breakfast bits i tries were lovely. Better communication for the parking. never got the voucher for reduction on booking out tho mentioned on booking in. needed more toilet roll in room
Deco friendly welcome and good service in the oyster bar

Room was very warm and the people in the room next to ours were very noisy early in the morning. Walls are thin so it woke us up. Also wasn’t enough shower gel and was hard to get water temperature hot in the shower.
The breakfast was beautiful. I usually don’t eat breakfast at hotels but there was so much choice. The hotel was absolutely stunning and all staff were so friendly. The bed was super comfy and the location was perfect.
