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 was a lot of chaos on the Saturday morning breakfast run. the gentleman who was managing the booking system at the restaurant appeared to be stressed and was not managing well. In my view he was too highly bureaucratic which made it difficult for him to relate to and be polite to guests who were queuing for breakfast. Clearly front desk work is not for him because he was not patient and some families gave up and left before they had their breakfast because of how cold and abrupt he was.
The decor of the room, location of the hotel, the security of the lift system that only people booked in the hotel are able to go up and down the lifts, the food was nice as well

United KingdomThe only thing that could be improved was the breakfast, it was not very well organised and didn’t have much option. No pastries or egg choice options and items were not replenished very quickly. However the breakfast room was beautiful
Incredibly beautiful building it was honestly breathtaking, the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble

NetherlandsThey changed out reservation - we needed two rooms with two beds per room and they did not provide this. One of our party had to sleep on a cot in one of the rooms. For the price we paid, this was very, very undesirable. I was quite disappointed.

United StatesThe front desk did upsell me. He said my room would be very small. So I went for a better room. It was on first floor with view of brick wall. He tried to upsell me twice and I didn’t appreciate it. The tub was very deep and slippery. Not great for older person. Toilet was quirky.
The staff was so friendly and really great. The room was very clean. The concierge was really helpful. The breakfast was very good. Nice soaps

United KingdomThe room above us was incredibly noisy - when we complained we were told gather would move us. We didn’t appreciate this as we had unpacked and we were not the ones making the noise.
We have stayed many times and usually have a note to welcome us - we didn’t this time. Still like it but I guess we expected it.

CanadaThere was nothing I didn’t like.
We stayed for 10 days in a park view suite and it was an incredible stay. The staff upon check in were outstanding, friendly and welcoming. Jack was excellent to deal with throughout the visit and the doorman named Ivar was wonderful. He was helpful, engaging and always made it feel like we were at home. The hotel is incredible and the staff amazing.the location was excellent for an extended stay. Steps away from the Russel square underground made it easy to get around to everything London has to offer but it was far enough from the hustle and bustle that we were able to get some calm at the end of each day. We included the breakfast in our stay and that was also worth the bit extra.

United KingdomBreakfast was poorly organised and service was not what you would expect in a 5 star hotel.On day one long wait for tea and coffee order to be taken and the another long wait for it to arrive. Day two we were informed by rather harassed hostess that she had a very long queue for breakfast with people seated in the bar waiting for tables plus a further two couples in front of us. We gave up and headed out for breakfast. Day 3 they arranged overspill breakfast in the Palm Court with more limited choice than in the main restaurant Fitz’s. They have an A board outside advertising dining open to the general public from breakfast onward- can’t imagine how that can possibly work when they struggle to serve residents.
