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...).

HungaryStaff may not understand English, say okay to everything and then nothing happens. They don't respond to emails or messages via booking.com so calling them on the phone in advance to arrange for an airport shuttle is a must.
Friendly staff, nice room, daily room service, good wifi and sauna included in the price. 24h reception where they help you in any way they can. They can also provide drivers if someone wants to get around the city to Entoto or Bishoftu. Exellent cuisine.

KenyaThe location is not ideal for solo women travellers or family stays. The hotel is located within a downscale neighbourhood with either one or several bars that were very loud at night both from the music and crowds of revellers. The bar on the 9th floor of the hotel was equally loud until late in the night. The street along which the hotel is located is poorly lit and is a potential risk of theft and other crimes especially, in the evenings and at night.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Check-in process was Ok although they had not updated my requests as I had indicated on my booking. They offer free airport transfers

BrazilThe hotel really was up to my expectations and needs, considering what I paid in a large city like Bangkok, so I have nothing to complain about the hotel. In general, people all over southeast asia were great hosting this lone tourist!
I enjoyed the room, with comfortable bed and bathroom, air conditioning, and of course the location is great for walking to the temples, also with nice options for breakfast nearby. The hotel is simple but it is also not expensive, so it was a good choice for me, traveling alone.

CroatiaRoom was not clean (6/10) and during my long stay I needed to ask several times for cleaning. Housekeeping needs significant improvement especially in communication with reception which rooms are occupied as they bumped couple of times in my room with no knocking just using master key. Not comfortable situation.
Best thing in hotel is great restaurant, rooftop terrace and food. Chefs and waitresses are great, coffe ladies excelent. Rooms are spacious and good equipped. Higher quality for Ethiopian standard. Reception is working good except in moments when they struggle in English language, but only couple of times during my 2 time longer stay.

United KingdomMy principal grump about this place was that the "suite" of two rooms was so dark and gloomy with only a tiny window in the living room onto the fire escape let in almost no light. The balcony off the bedroom was better but in effect I only used the bedroom. The TV in the living room never worked despite my request to fix it. The kitchen had zero equipment not even a knife and a plate so was a pointless feature. So there's no point in taking a suite a regular room would serve just as well. Breakfast was a dull repetitive buffet with bit so fresh pastries, some sad looking salad and on request rancid butter for the toast and jam.
This hotel is less than 5 years old and has a nice rooftop bar area where breakfast is served. The staff are friendly and polite and when I asked to move to a higher floor they were more than willing to oblige. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and cotton sheets. Plenty of freebies in the bathroom if you like that sort of thing.

BelgiumThe area around the hotel is dodgy, especially after dark. Don't walk alone, get a taxi (ask reception or order with the app Ride). Taxi to meskel square or piazza was 250-300 birr. It was a little tricky to explain to drivers where the hotel was on the way back, no one seems to know it, but you can manage with a map on your phone. There is technically room service available but there's no menu either in the rooms nor in the restaurant (one of the waiters just said "we have everything"?) so this could definitely be improved. The one major flag is that it seems there's a club or party on the last floor that opens on Friday night, with super loud music and people noise being heard very clearly on the 7th floor. We left Friday night so not sure how long it went on for, but if you're staying over the weekend and want a quiet night, tell reception to give you a room on a quieter floor.
The hotel is very newly renovated and appointed, everything is very clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and the bed very comfy. We had a small balcony on the 7th floor with a great view of the city around (room 708 if you want to request it, not all rooms have balconies). No Aircon or fan in the room but we never needed it with night in Addis being very cool. There's drinking water provided, a kettle and teabags. The breakfast is great with a selection of fresh local Ethiopian food and the coffee is excellent. The WiFi worked very well throughout. The spa is very pleasant as well: visits to the sauna or steam room are free (included in hotel room rate) and massages (very nice) start from 800-1000 birr for 1h. The hotel provides a free shuttle from and to the airport, which is super helpful. There's a rooftop terrace with a bar, though at the time we stayed there it was being repaired (loudly). Overall definitely recommended, great value for money.
