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.).

ThailandI requested to add an extra bed in our room through booking.com more than three thimes but got no reply then e-mailed directly to the hotel but no reply.
They upgraded our room to suites so that we could stay very comfortably in two rooms.

AustraliaHotel seems old, cracking paint in corridors. At least one elevator always out for maintenance. Shower inside bath a bit cramped. Hotel could do with refurbishing. Very expensive for an old tired hotel however excellent location and staff.
We enjoyed the location, comfortable bed. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The property looks a bit tired for the exorbitant price to stay.

United StatesI came from a much nicer hotel for less. It was small and dark and felt dated. The room I was in had no chandelier or fireplace.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. The note, flowers and chocolates in our room were so nice.

RussiaTerrible hotel! We read a lot of good reviews and decided to choose it. This was a big mistake. The rate of the hotel maximum 3*, not 5* at all. We were shocked that there was no cleaning at all. After their cleaning we had pieces of food on the floor, rubbish, towels were dirty, bathroom was dirty as well. So you are literally checking into the dirty room after previous guests. Shock! The hotel is also being renovated, so all the upper floors are covered with a construction grid and you will not have any view. About which no one warns of course. The hotel itself very old, mattresses so old and has no shape, seems they don’t change them at all. The pillows are very not comfortable, for sure you can’t choose another. The furnitures so old and shabby. But of course, all of this is not as important as dirt, unsanitary conditions and lack of cleaning.

United StatesThis hotel forgets it’s in the hospitality business. Part of this hotel in the building are tenants. The front office is simply that. It’s not welcoming or helpful or gracious, but simply business is business. I was very disappointed after notifying the hotel that they have double charge my credit card at including tax $900 a night when it wasn’t authorized and took me 10 days to get the money back with my bank’s help. there are a lot of people in the front lobby who aren’t necessarily working, but chatting back-and-forth and sort of like a very employee break room chatter. I have stayed at other hotels in New York, which are much more welcoming, clean, updated, elegant customer oriented for a third the price there is a restaurant attached to the hotel, which is lovely, but I know Way seamlessly works through the hotel I strongly suggest you look at other hotels before booking this hotel.
beautiful entry, location, housekeeping & room service staff gracious & professional

United StatesI didn’t like my room at all. It’s modern decor was not the classic, soothing and functional hotel room I expected at the Sherry Netherland. I found it difficult to find and operate the light switches because they are black buttons on black surfaces. When the room phone rang I couldn’t find it easily given the unconventional bedside table - which is only a nook. After giving up on figuring out how to turn off the overhead light when I went to bed I called for assistance. The gentleman who responded very quickly had to like me search to find the barely visible button but he did and I could darken the room at last Nothing in the descriptions of your rooms even hints at modern decor - and I was told different styles as well - in your hotel rooms. Not good or fair in my opinion.
Staff were very helpful and pleasant.
