Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThe pillows were not good, and the towels were worn out, not fluffy anymore, hurting my skin. The room was too dated, the furniture was scratched, mismatched, and ugly, and the bathroom fan (if any) wasn't working. Not many toiletries for a Mariott. I found it expensive for the shortcomings, and I sure expected more.
I loved the bed; the mattress was firm and comfy, and the room was very clean. The breakfast buffet was exactly what we needed; the eggs were great. The staff was very friendly, and the front desk lady found me as a Mariott member and added to the reservation even before I asked. We would stay again (we visited the bar to watch games in the past, and it was always a pleasant experience).

The location was perfect for my two jobs . But because we didn’t have time to dine in the restaurant either in the evening or morning, we missed out on the charm of the place.

CanadaI paid for my stay in full on Booking.com prior to our arrival. A few days after we checked out, my credit card was charged for an extra person fee (when we didn’t have more than the four people I booked for) and another fee which could not be explained. These charges were eventually refunded however, I still took a loss as the exchange rate on my credit card was higher when they charged vs when the charges were refunded. Another family that booked also noticed charges after they checked out as well. Check your statement as this could happen to you.
Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. Hot breakfast was included with our package and they had a good selection to choose from. The restaurant staff were all very kind and friendly. Pool, hot tub and gym were also available which was nice. All in all it was great until after we checked out.
