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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomThere is "underground" garage (entry from street level, hotel located above it) but is not closing for the night time. Loudly, banging noises from hotel's main entrance door (the door was hard to open and close).
Good size, clean room with coffee table. Comfy bed with close access to power sockets. Bathroom was clean with properly working showers. Self check-in is an advantage. Location is good in the quiet area of the town, with walkable distance to restaurants and shops.

United KingdomRoom was a bit too small for longer stay; with open wardrobe where you were forced to sit in it because of the lack of space. Furniture remember better time and bit of TLC could help. Bed was to soft for us, pillows were more yellowish than white (we found this on the next day). Shower needs attention as water leaks out of hose instead of shower heads. There is "underground" garage but is not closing for the night time.
We had a balcony in the room with cozy floor where you can seat on one of the comfy seats and hear singing birds, watching for lots of green around (trees and bushes) and even find an ashtray. Location is good in the quiet area of the town, with walkable distance to restaurants and shops.

GermanyEntry to the front door is via a code. We found a code in the Booking.com app for our reservation but it did not work. We contacted the staff via the phone number found on the front door. He sent us a different code which worked. The bed was too firm for us but that is just personal preference.
The room was clean, inviting and had everything we needed. The breakfast was simple but very nice, it offered everything we wanted. Free parking in the garage was a real bonus.

UkraineThis is a staffless hotel. We did not meet any stuff member during our stay. The procedures of check-in and check-out were quite simple. The room was clean and well equipped with complementary drinking water and coffee. Hotel has 10 free parking spaces, 8 of which are covered. So, late travelers may end up without parking space.

United StatesFor vacation and people who do work with a computer or otherwise need a desk, the room is to small. But for this price, it's really good. The check in terminal have us grief, and at least one other guest as well. The phone number allowed to quickly resolve the issue.
Excellent value for money. Clean. Functional. The bathroom was generous. When you travel for work with long work hours and no need for computer / desk, this is a great place.

Germany-I stayed first floor which was close to a maintenance, unfortunately I found it was pretty loud cuz I could hear people's voices and were coming up stairs. -The location wasn't written(or pinned) clearly on Google map, so it wasn't so easy to find the location. -I have never seen any stuffs in personal. I am not so used to "Automatics", so it was a bit shame not seeing anybody who were working at the hotel.
+The room was tidy, heaters were working well so the room was warm enough. +The location is very close (if you could find rightly) from station, good access. + A staff wrote me back as soon as possible and easy to communicate. +Bed was big and comfy
