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.).

SingaporeThis hotel is so wonderful and so clean. It’s so new and everything is perfect. We had the hotel send us the codes to the door and we checked in at our own time. It’s really new and it’s really clean and modern. Like legit clean. Will definitely come back here and stay the entire trip if I’m not jumping between locations. 12/10. Booked on booking.com and it was really a value for money. Rooms There’s a balcony which you can walk to your car in under 5 steps. (First floor rooms only). Room is modern. There’s Netflix and a smart tv and a fridge too!!! It looks like a high class hotel. NGL. Nearby activities Theres a bonus near by 5km distance. The drive there is so easy. We’re near a ski resort too. Safety It feels very secure. Walkability Nobody walks in Iceland. Please drive. Food and drinks Buy from Bónus and store it in your fridge. There’s also a common fridge that looks very nice (like glass door nice). Theres also a microwave. Noteworthy details There’s a hot tub!!! And the place feels so nice. Don’t stay in the city just stay here and enjoy yourself!!! Edit: We got the see the strongest northern lights from the balcony (though out the trip).

NetherlandsThe bathroom only had 3-in-1 soap which is okay but, for such a nice hotel it could be better.
The room was very spacious and modern, with a smart tv and a coffee machine. The build had shared kitchen and free washing and dryer as well as free ski equipment.

United KingdomNothing really. It was perfect for our one night stay, we would have liked to have stayed for longer!
It’s a very nice room in the perfect setting just outside of the town. The 5-7 min drive to get food in the evening was very convenient. Very comfortable bed, great to park our car right outside the terrace of our room. Shower was great, great little coffee machine and good to have a fridge. Really easy to check in and great to not have key/key cards as I always worry about losing them! Prompt and helpful communications from staff on the self check in process - makes life easier when you’ve been travelling all day and very tired, thank you!
