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...).

GermanyThe hotel is quite difficult to find without reception. The heating should have been on a timer at least in colder nights. But the room was not very clean and the bathroom was filthy, with mold spots all over the ceiling, and grainy dirt in the main area. It felt like I was a tenant responsible for maintenance, not a guest. The lack of a sink in the communal area makes it hard to know what to do with dirty dishes or where to clean them
Location was great, right in the heart of the city. Quiet rooms, able to get privacy. More than enough you need to explore Riga. The fridge and microwave were nice additions and offered a good alternative to eating out every night

Excellent location right in the City centre 1 minute to go to Central train station, 2 minutes to go to Central Bus station and 2 minutes to local bus No. 22 to airport.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in number 3 the floor was dusty with grit or something. The small towels had a unclean smell. It was either from the towels or bed that I go ringworms. The TV didn't work for English. Need to change mattress. The lighting is a soft off white so you are unable to see well unless you put your phone torch light on
The location was perfect if you are planning to shop and go to the market. Everything is walking distance. There was hot water for tea, coffee and the shower was nice and hot. Clear instructions, great security system, next door to flying tiger. There are places to eat after 11pm kebab places Google Has Kebab. It's walking distance and closes about 2am. Shops are still open late on Sunday. Lido is a good place to eat and experience Latvian food.

ItalyOf course for that money you cannot expect too much. But at least that it's clean. The room was dirty, the toilet disgusting, with just half of a toilet paper roll, the breakfast facilities were clearly used and then put back without being washed. I don't know if it was just me unlucky, but there was someone in the structure screaming and making noises the whole might. Being the wall paper walls, it was like having them in my room. Position is very good, but I'm sure that it's possible to find better places for that money, or at least to have a properly cleaned room.
