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 KingdomThe hotel was run down and shoddy, one of our rooms, although clean enough, had partly pulled down curtains, stains on the ceiling and a broken heated towel rail. The building looked as though it had been emptied of any amenities and the lounge area was smelly and unkempt with dirty ladies’ toilets.
Friendly and helpful staff, good location for our visit to BIC. Clean beds and bathroom.

United KingdomPretty dodgy place. No reception, just a guy watching YouTube on his phone while asking for my booking confirmation. The lift wasn't working and my room was on the third floor. Water coming out the taps was dirty. None of the lamps in the room worked. No TV in the room. No breakfast available.

ThailandIt's a real budget hotel , very tired looking inside and out. Staff are nice but not very professional. They are very casual in meeting and greeting. They use metal pin code locks on the main door and room door. My room was very tired and outdated. The curtains were terrible. The bathroom floor looked dirty
Central location, bed linen seemed clean shower was fine

United KingdomThis is a tired (to the point of needing to be knocked down), rundown, smelly building. It stank of mildew and cigarettes. The corridors were poorly or completely unlit and everything was grimey and in terrible condition. The room was clean, but not bright and cheery like the photos. I guess you get what you pay for - I think we paid £40 a night or something. Won’t be coming back!
The location and the price were the only things going for it

United KingdomWhen we first got to the hotel there was multiple people hanging around the front smoking and drinking. From the outside we could see the curtains were ripped multiple windows here open with things hanging from them. The whole outside of the hotel is run down and looks abandoned. There was nowhere at all to safely leave and park your car, not even surrounding streets. everywhere is busy. the closest car park is a 20 minute walk away and charged £25 per day. we didn't even end up staying at this hotel as the poor quality of it. do not recommend staying here or even bothering booking.
