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 only thing I didn't like, the shower door wouldn't close all the way, so the floor was soaked after every shower.
Location was great. The room was spacious enough for the family to sleep comfortably.

The room was profoundly dusty, setting off allergies. The one window let in almost no light. The thermostat did not allow for a Fan mode, so the stale dusty air sat in your throat unpleasantly. The general manager on the final day of our stay was unnecessarily inflexible when we asked for a few minutes more in our room so we could get a hike in in the morning.
The location. Less than 15 minutes to anywhere we needed to go for graduation weekend.

Breakfast was included in reservation and we were told hot breakfast in the morning when we arrived. The next morning we were told that was only weekends. Instead they offered cereal, bottled juice, yogurt bananas from behind the reservation desk--they hand it to you. Then the weekend arrived (Sat. morning) and same type of breakfast. An array of food in the frig when we arrived and a hair in the sink. Door between bed and bath and bed and living squeaked and they seemed surprised that I did not want that fixed after I left . I explained I bought a suite so I could get up early without disturbing hubby. Also, squeak to bathroom at night?! Also door between bed and living had to be pulled hard to close which defeats the purpose of a quiet exit. It was mis aligned. Candidly--i can't remember now if I was ever able to shut it or just pulled it to leave a crack letting in sound and light THe check in person was terse, maybe unsure of himself? (Generally reception person smiles). After all he is the one who gave wrong info on breakfast.
Linens were fresh and pretty. Room was ample. Parking lot well lit. After the arrival, people at front were pleasant enough . Engineer came as promised and fixed the door squeaks but couldn't fix the misaligned door that would not close. (probably a more involved fix).

There was a small issue with my credit card upon check-in, 6/18. I called my bank, they confirmed the $580.00 charge had gone through, my bank wondered why Marriott kept swiping the card. Not a problem we got it cleared. I received a very nice call the next day from the Marriott front desk confirming the credit card issue was cleared the full $580.00 charge went through and they apologized and thanked me for my patience. Then when we tried to check out on 6/20 the front desk clerk said she charged the full $580.00 charge yet again and my card declined and she would need another card immediately. I called my bank they asked for Marriott to STOP!!!!! The full $580.00 charge had been applied and approved upon check-in on 6/18, and again on 6/19. My account was locked due to Marriott’s constant application of the card…..maybe 6 or 7 times in all. Ugh!!!! Luckily I had cash on me because my card was of no use the entire weekend.

The hallways, elevator and swimming pool were all dirty. Halls looked like they hadn't been vaccumed in a month. Floors hadn't been mopped near entrance in a month or two. Pool had dirt on the bottom kid would not swim due to the dirt.
Room was clean inside.
