Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

GreeceWorst experience ever! Tiny, dirty rooms that only fit a bed, booked a place with window and there was no window, nothing like the pictures. Cockroaches everywhere. Firstly they put me in a used room that wasn't cleaned after the previous person and when I complained they put me in another one (at least tidy). There was no key for the door to lock, so I had to wait for someone to come and change it. Even though they promised to put me in the room I booked after the first night, they never did. On my last night I had forgotten my keys, called them and they said it is not a problem and that they will come to fix it. After 6 hours of texting and calling them and them saying that they will come to change the lock (at that moment), my friend that i had forgotten the key with had to come from a different Emirate to unlock the door!! After 6 hours of them messing with me saying they will come soon and me waiting outside in the cold!! Since 20.30 till 02.30!!! And early in the morning I had to leave to catch my flight while my stuff and documents were inside the room!!!! Unacceptable behaviour, have stayed in many places my whole life but have never received such treatment!

ChinaI arrived at night, the elevator was long time queue waiting like 20 minutes to get on. The room has nothing except a bed, a wardrobe, a tiny table with a lamp and that was all. No even a dustbin, a mirror, tissue etc. The bed is so high sitting on it my feet even can't reach the floor. Bathroom water not warm enough to shower and gels shampoos are all running out but they are supposed to be provided as I see they are in the providing list. Sure there are improvements that can be done even given a small space like you can actually stick or glue a mirror on the door of the wardrobe ?

EgyptLift is busy most of the time because the building has a high density of people. You can work around that by knowing the busy times and avoid them

DenmarkI cannot provide any information about this property. I booked this room for 9 nights and I was checking several other properties. I chose this one because I liked pictures. It was a window in the room and also it was a gym in the building according to the pictures. I saw other options which were cheaper. But I chose this one and I paid in advance full price. When I arrived there (after check in time 15.00) - I was waiting outside for one hour because there was no staff there. Then they took me to another building and gave me cheaper room without window. I saw that room on another account on booking. The only thing they said to me was “Sorry for inconvenience”. I didn’t get any compensation. When I contacted booking support I was told that I can write negative review. But no refund or compensation for 9 nights in cheaper room. As I can see on booking - they have several accounts and after receiving bad reviews they just create new account with the same pictures. And they put “Sold out” on all properties with bad reviews. So you will never see bad reviews about them.
