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...).

But the room was extremely unclean: brown marks all over the walls, stained sheets, black mold in the bathroom, very strong smoke smell (even though it was supposedly a non smoking building). We stay at motels a lot and this is by far the nastiest room we’ve seen. I get that we made a budget choice, but for over $100 a night it was way too dirty.
Staff were all excellent, welcoming and helpful. Great location right next to old town (though I wouldn’t try to walk it).

The rooms are very janky and felt really sketch that there wasn’t that second little lock latch. Sketchy people stay here wouldn’t recommend if you have kids .
I loved the staff! They were so helpful and always a smile on their faces. They are the sole reason I give a five.

Vending (laundry,sodas, snacks) only accepted credit cards, not cash. Laundry mat not close. Very time consuming and inconvenient. Closest public transportation 1/4 a mile away. Took all day. Very bad for people on a budget. No more EZ 8 for me.
Pretty quiet

Hotel is under a freeway over pass so it’s kinda weird. But u really can’t hear anything when ur in your room. Only when the train passes honking its horn. There are a lot of homeless people around and some even stay in the property. No one bothered us when we stayed there. I wished we had a microwave in the room so u didn’t have to go in the vending room. Which was ok but at night there was some guys playing dice on the table. And security was outside and never told them anything. The bed was horrible very uncomfortable and pillows sucked. The blanket they offer was very thin. But we took our own. It was cold outside but the room was warm. Didn’t even have to use the ac or heater our whole visit.
If you’re on a budget and have limited money it’s a good place to stay. Only 5 min away from old town. Literally walking distance to the train and old town. Which is a great place to visit. Very pet friendly. The main reason we stayed here. They didn’t have a pet fee. And you don’t have to pay for parking. Room was clean. Basic essentials clean bed clean towels.There’s a mini fridge and a tv. The girls at the front desk were very nice and helpful. Security at night.

2 guests 2 chairs please. 4 pillows for the bed also. I asked for towels for the second day none arrived nor were available this was really bad! More counter space needed, a shelf near the sink would be helpful extra towel bars too, more hooks for hanging garments etc., more hangers, a waste basket with a liner bag. Even though the price was low basic expectations should still be met.
Good heating and cooling system for the room, the shower drained well, no bad smells in the room or from heat/AC system, it was quiet, good location to area attractions,
