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...).

United KingdomThe walls between rooms were very thin and unfortunately our neighbours got in at 1am and talked until 5:30am. It woke both my husband and I up. They weren’t making an unreasonable amount of noise - no tv or music, it was just their general normal talking volume.
Loved the location, parking, bar, restaurant and room. I can’t state enough how fantastic the staff were. They couldn’t have been any more helpful, especially Sham and Ben at the front desk.

United StatesThe rooms were very small pictures make it look way different online, the view was on the side of the water and construction was being done. No microwave to be able to heat up leftover food we had to go next door to another hotel to do so. When your a tourist on vacation you spend money on food not to throw away.
The staff was amazing very friendly and always willing to help. Area wasn't to far from everything.

United KingdomWhen a member of staff asked me to meet him on the floor which my new room will be allocated. He saw I had a heavy bag but did not offer to assist. Also, being a four star hotel, as we were told. They really should have had bath robes & Slippers. As most hotels I have been to do have.
The staff were exceptionally helpful. I booked accessible rooms and did realise it but the lady at reception offered to exchange the rooms. Plus, we were offered warm cookies. Breakfast was good and quite a variety of choices. The bar area was a really good place to chill out with lots of seating, comfortable sofas. There were free hot chocolate, crisps and free in reception area

Smooth check in. Lovely to be handed a cookie too. Room very comfortable, tea and coffee facilities great. Also having an iron and ironing board was very helpful, a lot of hotels don't include these in the room. Also complimentary snacks in reception a nice touch. All staff apart from one in the bar were lovely.
