Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The location is perfect right on a main strip however, we were right next to a club and the street noise was really loud till about 4 am. Not the hotels fault, but it was so clear it was like they were standing in the room. Also one other thing is the hotel is super hard to find. It is a door between stores and the door don't stand out at all!!
Self Check in was easy and we really liked just getting straight to our room. The room was perfect and clean. It had a lil kitchen that offered all you need to cook yourself a meal.

Nowhere to hang your towels or put toiletries- I would recommend installing a few shelves and hooks in the bathroom. Friday and Saturday night was very noisy due to the great weather and party goers! Sep- check in and out a little impersonal..
Very centrally located. Lots of shops, bars and restaurants around. Absolutely fantastic shower and comfortable bed, good t.v channels, perfect temperature in the room and great coffee station.

We ordered a double room and got two single beds which was a shame. The housekeeper clearly realised we wanted a double room as on night 2 it was made up as a double bed which was such a lovely touch but it was still a shame they were two singles, not quite as romantic!
Great room for a great price, lovely coffee facilities. I liked the size, nice TV, bed comfortable.

Room with View facing the Bastard café was RIGHT over the live nightly music. Should note that in description. Staff was very flexible in offering to move us, which we ended up not needing because our late tour return was after 11 pm end of music set.
Location was very convenient! Provided email of good instructions and photos for check in, but better signage instructions once inside the lobby would be helpful as I saw other guests with same temporary questions. First time with self-serve check in. Communication with Staff was helpful, prompt and reasonably accomodating. Appreciated the kitchenette but didnt realize It would be included in this room. Very much appreciated complimentary luggage storage as we had late departure. Everything was clean.

"Room with a view" is completely misleading, no view from window on room 319 except the back of the hotel and other people's windows. The room was quite warm without heating but the window did open, no issue with noise. Extra towels would be a nice touch since the rooms do not get attended to during the stay. No access to early check in or late check out.
Check in made simple by following instructions of email and text to access building and room. No waiting about in check in queues. Location very central and close to everything. Access to a locked cupboard to leave bags in if arrive early or leave late.

Hotel is on the side of a (really nice) music café/venue- Our room was not noisy though with the windows closed but it was warm enough even with the heat off so with the windows open the street is quite busy
Cannot be more central, modern and comfy room- clean nice bathroom. Nice to have a coffee machine in the room- easy self checkin

The room was very small but it was sufficiently sized. We had a view of the back of a bar which wasn't lovely but it wasn't too loud, and we got to see the Northern Lights from our room!
Central location, conveniently located with plenty of dining and shopping options. The room was very comfortable and cosy. The shower was lovely too. There is also a terrace available on the fourth floor.

Checkin process was a bit of a mess - didn’t receive checkin codes for the 2 rooms we booked. Had to email and call to get this, and then do the same again for the second room. Checkin was now good and we met other guests with the same issues. Not having staff on site didn’t work the day we arrived.
Really comfortable room. Very clean and cool design. Very centrally located.

The free parking is a little far away, but nothing bad. What I didn’t like was the cleaning lady opening our door without knocking first yelling at us that check out time was at 10 am, when everywhere here on booking says it’s at 11 am.
The location is perfect and the facilites are very modern and new.
