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...).

ChileWhen I arrived the elevator was out of order and nobody helped me with my luggage. Fortunately my room was in the first floor, but in a hotel you expect somebody can carry your luggage.
It's very clean, the bathroom had everything you need. The restaurant is excellent!

CanadaCheck in and check out was done by hotel Paul, across the street! The desk kept our Passports for processing, so had to go back again! The hotel charges a security deposit of 100, why? Just to refund it after check out! Next Booking.com only takes half of the reservation charge, so during check in the other half is charged… Long process to check in! Waste of time!
Room was okay, paid extra to get Lake Garda View, really not worth the extra money! Breakfast was served in our hotel, pleasant surprise we didn’t had to go across the street!

United KingdomThe shower cubicle/bathroom was small, but adequate. We didn't know how much the tourist tax would be, which was a cause for concern as the range we were told was very broad (thankfully it was on the lower-end of the scale, but still an expense to consider) - it would be very useful if this was stated in advance somewhere. The hotel did have a power outage one evening, but this lasted only for 10 minutes.
Location excellent because there was easy access to swim in the lake and it was 10 minute walk to the old town. Smeraldo is opposite its sister hotel La Paul, where check-in/out was located, along with a restaurant/bar, other facilities, and access to lake on that side. We preferred the access to the lake at Smeraldo though, but enjoyed going across to La Paul to see the sunset over the lake. Breakfast in Smeraldo's dining room was pleasant, and there was a good choice of buffet items such as scrambled egg, bacon, delicious ripe tomatoes, bread, cold meats and cheeses, cereals, cakes, fruit etc. We had a lovely lake view from our balcony (family room for 3, first floor). The balcony had room for a table and two chairs, and a clothes horse to dry towels/clothes, which was very handy. The room had a pleasant decor, comfortable mattresses, and a large wardrobe with a safe. Our room was air conditioned, which was essential, and it also had a fridge for our use. We preferred swimming in the lake from our Smeraldo access, rather than the public beach in Sirmione as it was more convenient for us. We did not use the public beach, but it looked lovely when we were sightseeing, with sandy areas that not all locations around the lake have. We would recommend staying at Smeraldo, and we would certainly stay there again if we were able to have the lake view again, on the 1st or 2nd floor.

ItalyThe two single mattresses side by side do not work as a double bed for a couple…at least find a way to properly join them together. They spread apart in no time and you end up in the gap in between.

CanadaUnfortunately, elevator was out when we checked in so we had to lug suitcases up two floors. Here is where we learned that the main floor is level 0. LOL. It was fixed by the next day but we had already trained ourselves for the stairs.
