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...).

BrazilBathroom was not good. Shower only had hot water for 5 minutes so you have to rush and the water flow is very weak. If there is more than one person in the room, one of them will have a cold shower. Despite the room being reasonably clean there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom. The lady who checked me in was very helpful but nobody stays there during business hours so there is no one to refer to if you're having these problems. They offer a small complementary breakfast in a nearby caffé which is not particularly good, I choose to have it somewhere else, I recommend reserving without the breakfast option.
Good location, 25 minute walk from the train station, 2 minute walk to the nearest subway station Università. Decent bed and the room was very spacious. Checking in and out was easy and straightforward. The lockers outside are very useful when you have a late train/flight. Good wi-fi signal.

United StatesGiven the name, I was expecting a suite, so my parents would have a private room to sleep in. Instead, it was three beds in a room with a somewhat odd configuration. The shower was tiny and clearly from the Ferrari School of Design: sleek and pretty to look at but completely impractical for actual use. We didn't bother with the breakfast after other guests told us it was "just a bun" at a restaurant across the street.
Location was densely urban on one of the busiest streets in the city. A bit odd to access, although that maybe can't be helped given the building and location. The room was very clean and set up with bedding for three per our request. The staff was pleased to show us how the amenities worked and were very friendly and patient with us.

CanadaClaims to be a B&B but instead provides a voucher to a cafe for 1 pastry and a drink. I asked if they could accommodate gluten free which they said they could and got me a box of cookies and milk that had wheat in it. No staff on site ever, had to pay 20 euros for late check in and even had to wait more than 30 minutes despite texting them when I was 30 minutes out. Shower leaked and literally soaked the bathroom floor, no shelf in the shower for soaps and AC not even turned on when we arrived and it was 28 Celsius in the room. Would do luggage storage however did not use as their presence was absent and were difficult to get a hold of and didn’t want delays in getting our luggage to get to the train station. Would not return.
Close to metro line.

IrelandI flew in to Napoli, and at the beginning I didn't really know what standard (of accommodation) to expect. My first night was in Bovia. After that I stayed at 10 other properties during my Italian holiday before returning to Bovia. The quality of the Bovia property compared to all my other bookings was pretty terrible. The pressure from Bovia to 'up' my review was pretty strong. But the review is honest, and I stand over what I've said.
Host was very friendly and location is good

PortugalThe building itself was very noisy. The bed is super hard and the pillows are flat (need to request more, to pile). The safe wasn't working but it wasn't an issue as I had nothing to keep in. Don't be lured by the mention of "exceptional breakfast": it's a voucher to have a coffee and a cake in place next to the building. Toiletries are rudimentary (small packs of shower gel/shampoo). The towels were a bit old but clean. I asked to have my door closed with the double lock, whenever the cleaning was done but I was told there is no need, no one would open it... nope... you close the doors with the lock or it's not locked.
The staff is super nice. I was given a map with a lot of indications of where to go and, more importantly, where and what to eat. The building is located near the metro, that's very handy. and very close to the Alibus stop (the bus that takes your from the airport). It's close the old quarters and safe. I requested an extra blanket because the weather was very cold during that weekend and I got it in a short moment.

United KingdomDifficult to find. It is not a front line hotel, but a B & B set behind the main road. No staff on site. You are met, shown the room and left with a WhatsApp contact if you need anything. It is advertised as with 'breakfast'. For that you had to go to a local cafe and breakfast was a coffee and one pastry. Misleading in the details. As a senior female travelling solo I was uncomfortable walking around the area at night. Main road very busy but dark side roads with rough sleepers and beggars around.
Met by Arianna who was excellent, very helpful and provided advice, maps and booked a taxi for me. She provided her phone number and was accessible via that. Room was large, quiet and comfortable. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

United KingdomYou could hear everything through the walls. The room attached to ours clearly had the bathroom next to the wall our bed was on and the toilet roller on their side squeaked and hit the wall. Many people came in late drunk, we were woken by people bringing non-residents back and sitting in the communal area (which is next to the rooms). The towels and bed sheets had rips and stains on them. The staff knocked on our door multiple times throughout our stay asking us to leave the room so they could clean in the morning, this made us feel unwanted and unwelcome, we realised they weren't actually changing our sheets. Staff were very loud in the mornings. The safe didn't work. We paid extra for a balcony room and the balcony wouldn't fit anything on it as the door takes up the space and the air con system is in the way. We chose this place as it did breakfast and were told on our first morning that they don't do breakfast now because of covid. Unbelievably difficult to find especially when you're hot and have been travelling all day. They need to put pictures up and instructions, the location keeps noise from the street out though, just not other guests.
Great location. 10 mins to port, 5 mins to buses.
