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...).

The swimming pool was not clear water. Made us feel awkward using it. One of the Jacuzzis didn't even bubble, even after ensuring the operating dial was on. With such a fine pool included, the maintenance should be better in monitoring its cleanliness and operation. We didn't use it again due to these issues!
Anna, front desk steward, was outstanding. Knowledgeable, friendly, took action as requested, made all of us (12 person group) feel appreciated and welcome. She should be acknowledged by leaders of this hotel as a great employee, even for the month!! The included continental breakfast was nice, but the powdered eggs that only happened once or twice during our stay tasted lousey. Just like our Navy eggs we suffered in the old days. They only provided the eggs & sausages when a bus load showed up. Not cool for the rest of "us" customers. The staff ladies in the kitchen were always friendly and kind when on their duties. Thanks!! The room cleaners were okay, but missed refilling items occasionally; body wash, kleenex, one time even missed cleaning our room and missed replacing our towels. We are just mentioning this as a kind reminder. Customers are always watching when we are renting a room and being watchful on everyday things.In closing, the desk staff were always friendly and helpful, and they always had smiles on their faces. We loved staying there and sharing our daily outings with them. Anna is the BEST! The Strangs from San Diego!

We did like the breakfast with the waffle bar, but I wished there were eggs and protein options. The cleaning staff were very good, but the front desk staff were unattentive and absent most of the time. One of the Jacuzzis didn't work. The pillows were very hard. Everything else was great.
We liked the pool. The beds were comfortable and the facilities were very clean and updated. The breakfast was very good. The hotel was very affordable with a great location and the staff were very nice and accommodating.

Pool is disappointing. Over chlorinated and super hard on the eyes just watching the little ones swim. The bathroom needs a bit of an update. The air conditioning/heater system was super loud.
