How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

A secure bike storage facility would be a nice upgrade.
Modern clean hotel conveniently close to the train station. The lobby had a water machine offering chilled/sparkling water. They did not h as be a secure area for bike storage but did allow us to store our bikes in our room. The breakfast included the machine to make soft boiled eggs.

My room felt a bit small, I'd only recommend it for solo travelers. Receptionists are helpful but their English could be a bit better.
I arrived in Marseille by bus and it was one of the closest hotels to the bus station. Also after checkout, I needed a shuttle bus to the airport and those busses leave from that bus station which was very convenient for me. AMP L91 is the bus if you're interested and it costs €10. I also liked the breakfast and that there were elevators.

The reseptionist was not very polite, not a single smile or a kind word, even a response to greeting. Same guy during my two night stay. Can't say the same about his italian polite assistant. No fridge in the room. The TV was fixed too low. Hit my head a couple if times on it on my way to bathroom.
Very close to the main railway station. The room vas close to perfect, comfortable bed, big shower, working internet, quiet, warm.

The room is small. Truly, it can only be used as a place to sleep, I would not recommend if you want to work in the room or if you just want to chill in your hotel room. If you get a room facing the road it can be a little loud, but the windows are double glazed so it is not too bad.
So close to the station, which is wonderful if you have very heavy luggage. We arrived in the afternoon and left the following morning, so this was ideal. Plus it is a very short walk to the marina and surrounding restaurants. For a free hotel breakfast it was very good. Cheese, bread, eggs, fresh juice and cereals were all available, as well as some lovely pastries and a home made cake.

One thing was that as i slept with window open that was facing the courtyard/ smoking yard, i woke up in the room really smelling like cigarettes, from the yard.
Very central and 5min from the Train Station! Clean, breakfast was really great! Loved the fresh orange juice mashine and the tasty cheese.
