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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

EthiopiaI wish the electrical outlets were more modernized, perhaps with universal power outlets and even USB outlets. Its pretty common in many hotels I have stayed in, even budget hotels.
The location is great. I was able to pop out and onto the tram right away. There was also a timetable in the lobby to help with planning.

FinlandThe location is excellent a stone's throw from the Railway Station. Walking distance from the Museums and the Old Town as well. I particularly liked the informal entrance with the bar and tables to have small meals at AND the bonus of a great pianist from 5 pm. Great atmosphere. I was less impressed with the breakfast - the buffet was too spread out. No machine can replace properly made hot, boiled tea served in a teapot.

United KingdomThe room was slightly tired, some areas in the bedroom could have done with some touching up of paintwork and in the bathroom there were a couple of areas that could have done with resealing.
The bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly and the location was extremely convenient.

United KingdomThe rooms are not sufficiently sound proofed from the noise in the street - you can hear people speaking in the street, as well as the trams and local city noise.
The hotel and rooms were nicely decorated and clean, and located next to the BASEL SBB Train station with a tram stop and links to the airport in front. There was a pianist playing a grand piano in the bar area for much of the afternoon and early evening, which was very nice. Breakfast was OK and dinner was to a good standard.

IrelandMy second or third time here and I'm still happy with it. Even though is more expensive than the others around it, it's worth paying the extra for the nice experience. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was tasty and the room was perfect for me. A little noisy from the trams outside (I was on the first floor) but I like the noise of the city so it didn't bother me at all.
