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...).

Hong KongHotel is doing renovating work so some facilities are closed and there may be construction noises in the day.
The room is very big and newly renovated. Location is hard to beat as it is in the city centre. Breakfast is alright.

JapanThe cafe was closed because of renovation.
The atmosphere and service were luxurious and worthy of a first-class hotel. Very good location, close from the central station, middle of the city center. I arrived to the hotel at 6 am(because my flight from Tokyo arrived 4:00am!) and my room was perfectly ready. I was able to check in early at 6am with no additional charges! Spa was great too.

NetherlandsThe restaurant was a bit of a disappointment in terms of food (otherwise, great service and look). The food was cooked so slowly and was OK taste-wise, but we expected better based on our other experiences with the hotel.
We liked everything. Our room was cosy; it was the first time when I felt at home in a hotel. I tried SPA treatments, and they were on a good level, too. The staff was polite, friendly, and helpful. We came right after Christmas, and the hotel was beautifully decorated. So many things have been included, which is what to be expected from a 5-star hotel: shower cap, soft bath robes and slippers, bath salts, nice capsule coffee machine (we didn't use though). The breakfast was very nice with good selection and food quality. I particularly liked old-styled porridge with dry fruits (I didn't try such before, but I'm pretty sure it's how it tasted when the hotel was founded 137 years ago) and that tasty cappuccino was included into the price.

AustraliaUnfortunately the beautiful winter terrace was closed during the renovation so we couldn’t eat there. The temporary restaurant is very nice however. The water to our bath wasn’t hot enough and due to it being a Sunday no workmen were available. We were offered a change of room though.
Centrally located. Beautiful hotel currently undergoing renovation but this doesn’t impact the overall services and enjoyment, no loud machines etc, just slightly hidden entrance and less than scenic outlook from some windows. Staff, cleanliness, rooms, food etc are all outstanding.

AustraliaNothing to report here! There were building works going on to update the restaurants, however the way the hotel organized the temporary restaurant and bar was terrific.
The wonderful staff went over and above to help us at all times, including suggestions for restaurants (and then booking), making sure we were familiar with the hotel and the surrounding area, but generally.....super friendly and efficient.

United StatesI was disappointed that they did not notify me that they are doing construction around and in the hotel. I was not there with a conference or a tour. I picked this historic hotel for its historic charm with the restaurant, bar and staircase. None of which I could use. I also had early weekday noise in my room from the outside construction. Frankly, the hotel should be offering discounts. The staff were absolutely amazing.
The staff were amazing and this includes the bell person and the cleaning people. The breakfast was wonderful and all the serving staff were very friendly. Location perfect.
