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...).

RomaniaAt automated Checkin you have to rely on their system which doesn't always update. I waited over one hour for the operator to activate my check-in. Then I received a dirty room which was clearly used before. So I had to wait some more for the new room. Insode the room, the sink was on the room hallway, the toilet and shower in a separate space. Very odd to brush your teeth basically in the room. There were not enough sockets in the room, so I had to charge my laptop at the entrance door socket as the other ones were occupied with the lights. The whole experience was was nerve-wracking. Wouldn't really recommend this place.

NetherlandsHousekeeping could be better: - The floor in the lounge area was pretty dirty - Snacks/drinks in lounge area seemed not to be topped up. The wine dispenser was empty throughout the whole stay, snacks and coffee were almost empty and non of it seemed to be filled up during the 3 nights we were there. - Conditioner in our shower was empty. Front door got broken on Sunday morning and was still broken by the time we checked out on Monday, leaving it wide open and the common areas open to all
- Good value for money - Great location - Quick response through chat: the heating in our room was broken and we immediately got another room.

ItalyThe double room was very small, but enough for me alone and ok for only one night. However I think it is definitely too small for 2 people. Few things that could be improved: the room was too warm even if the radiation was off and I needed to keep the window open for a while; the mattress was sagging on one side; there are no furniture in the room a part a small bed side.
Hotel in a great location, convenient to stay close to the city center at a reasonable price.

IrelandShower was partially broken which made the water splash around the bathroom, so after every shower we would have to clean and dry it. I sent a complaint and instead of sending someone to fix it or at least to help with cleaning, they came back asking for photos and proof of what was happening. The problem is simple to resolve and should be part of a periodic maintenance process (10€ you can buy a new shower head). Another point to consider is to add a new bedside table as the room had only one.

United KingdomThe light in our bathroom was broken and had to message twice on WhatsApp to speak to someone about getting it fixed, which it never was, so for 3 days we had to use the communal shower in the hallway which defeats the object of booking a room with a private bathroom! No housekeeping, we didn’t expect the beds to be changed every day but a quick once over and fresh towels wouldn’t have gone a miss. The bed wasn’t very comfortable at all and only one pillow each. The walls are paper thin so can hear everything and the doors slam very loudly in the corridors. A full length mirror would be a nice addition in the room.
Great location, walking distance to most areas but right by tram and bus stops too. Check in was fine, all codes received on time and pretty self explanatory! Room was nicely decorated and the heating worked a treat. Wi-Fi worked great and the QR codes in the lobby for suggestions on places to eat/drink etc came in handy.

There was no light around the bed and made the room dim and even small. The night stand were not working at first day but fixed by the staff next day.

GreeceI couldn’t get in the hotel, as there was no email from with the code for the entrance prior to my arrival. So I had to send a message to the hotel through a chat and wait for a ling time until they texted me the entrance code. The system is not well organised and efficient, and as I see from past comments many people face this problem and they don’t do anything to improve it. The room was not clean and if you leave the window open is too noisy.
The location is convenient and the room was very nice (double bed, big window, a desk that you could work, big bathroom). There is a kitchen with fridge that can be used to prepare your meals and a common space with big tables that you can drink your coffee or work with your laptop.
