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 KingdomThe bathroom drains I think were in bad shape and smelt awful. There was a lot of noise in the morning from a function the hotel was hosting which could be heard from my room (quite high up). The rooftop bar needs a little refurb, for example the tables along the side were slanted so you had to hold your drinks to stop them tilting over. Of course we could have moved but we wanted to see the view
Location right on the seafront was cool and about 30mins from the airport. The room was large however the bathroom smelt really bad, luckily was only there for 1 night. The staff were very friendly and welcoming however and helped us find a driver who we ended up relying on for the whole week! The staff at rooftop bar were also very friendly and attentive

Denmarkit was quite expensive though and we could see that it used to be quite luxurious and now you could tell the years has past. there are also very few electrical plugs in the room and all of them located in one corner.
we were stunned by the view over the ocean and it was nice to have a bathtub which costs a little extra. the staff was super friendly and helpful. it was perfect to read a book in the comfortable chairs and have a great view on the ocean

AustraliaThe receptionist who was there on the 13 June ( early morning) was extremely rude, he was asleep when i went downstairs to check out around 5am, appeared to be annoyed to have dealt with me. The wash basin in the bathroom was blocked and had a bad smell.
Location and the views were amazing. There was a staff member at the restaurant, a lady who was very considerate and provided excellent service.

It was annoying they had to come mid way to our room and had to stay awake+leave the door open mid night to fix the AC & restore room’s electricity. It took about 1 hour to fix the circuit breakers.
