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...).

United StatesTo have to pay for a drink ( alcoholic or non alcoholic) with dinner each night when the guests lounge offers unlimited alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks free of charge all day long. It makes no sense!
The last breakfast the morning of our departure was very memorable as we were seated in a private room with a beautiful view.

United StatesAntiquated tattoo policy when foreigners seem to be a major target demographic. Dinner course changes were not reflected in the printed menu. No option for a single bed was available.
Helpful English speaking staff. Perfect room and facilities. Amazing lounge and complimentary offerings. A several course dinner was included. Open-air onsen bath on the balcony.

MalaysiaBreakfast and dinner was repetitive (we stayed for 3 days 2 nights). Only slight changes were made. By the 2nd day, we felt that the food was repetitive and not as looked forward to anymore.
The facilities were well maintained and we enjoyed using the facilities provided. The staffs were also very friendly and helpful, from welcoming us onboard, explaining our room facilities until checking out procedures.

United StatesThe hotel erred in our breakfast reservations and the staff were not able to assist. We had to speak with the manager before they corrected their error. I expect a hotel of this caliber to enable its staff to resolve basic problems, yet they seemed lost and unable to find a solution.
The private onsen on the balcony was fantastic.

United StatesIt is a bit pricey. We had a update for one of the dinners and it did not really seem worth it so we just opted for the regular dinner the next night.
The service was top notch. They were always very helpful and so polite. It was also really nice that the lounge had unlimited alcohol and regular drinks and snacks. The room was very spacious and was very quiet.

United StatesThe only issue we had was that our room was warm and we could not lower the temp mechanically. Granted, we are from a cool place and are accustomed to a room temperature of 62-65 F, but even after asking, the only way to get the room below 78 was by opening the doors. That was fine, since it was cool at night, but that’s not always the case.
Beautiful room with private onsen on balcony. Three other, different options for shared or private onsens on property. Amazing food.
