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...).

It was cold in the room and the TV initially did not work. We asked for help at the reception and the TV was fixed, however they said that they cannot do anything about the room temperature, this is the reason why I left this review. Advice for higher management, for future, please take into consideration the room temperature to avoid bad ratings.
It is near the city centre.

Booking confirmation contained a sophisticated scam and fraud attempt. I cannot tell if this was related to Booking or to the hotel or to neither. I had to cancel my credit card and block my bank account. The single room I was offered on arrival was a windowless, airless cell, though clean. I felt I could not stay /survive the night there so I paid a considerable supplement for a better room upstairs.
The room I finally ended up paying extra for was small, but pleasant, spotless and in perfect condition. Adequate breakfast. Good location.

See above
We arrived at the hotel and we’re given a room that was about 8 ft x8 ft. The bathroom/shower was so small that it would be impossible to shower without spraying the loo. The window in the bedroom was boarded up and sealed with tape.We had to pay an extra 30 euro per night to upgrade. The manager said that I had booked a standard room through your app, but on your site only superior bedrooms were shown. This was a complete misrepresentation of the rooms available and I believe it is a ploy used be the hotel to extract extra monies from customers booking through your app. This type of scam is not good for the reputation of Booking.com business and I suggest you investigate and remove this hotel from using your platform.

The breakfast was very poor. I really recommend to buy a stay without breakast and then go to Urban Deli next door and have breakfast. It would be a good idea for the hotel to give breakfast vouchers to a good breakfast restaurant nearby. The hotel itself was very nice and clean.
It is difficult to rate my one night stay as the hotel itself was super fine, but the breakfast was very poor. I really recommend to buy a stay without breakast and then go to Urban Deli next door and have breakfast.
