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.).

Everything!! The interior is cute and lovely, the room and beds are big, water pressure and temperature just right, the breakfast has enough selection and coffee (including espresso) just wonderful. The staffs are super friendly and helpful. Can’t find anything to complain. Don’t forget to try the candy at the front desk and small chocolate in the room. They just so tasty.

AustraliaThe split level design wasn’t ideal but it was different and had a lovely sitting area which you don’t get in many hotels.
The Art and Jazz Hotel was perfect. Great service, great bed and pillow, the shower was amazing and the attention to detail for every little thing was amazing. The breakfast was lovely and we were even made a cappuccino. It’s quirky and it a great position with a short walk to the train and bus station. Would definitely book here again.

United KingdomThe approach to the hotel looked a bit run down and littered but don't let this put you off. There seems to be a local dispute about refuse collection which results in a bad litter problem everywhere.
Warm welcome on arrival and a willingness to help in any way. The hotel has a balanced style and character about it Very good room and general facilities Walkable distance from the centre

ArgentinaWe expected to have an early check in, but we couldn’t have the bedroom earlier than 2 pm we were very tired from traveling so not happy with that. The location felt a little weird, not secure. A nightclub in the corner which felt a little scary at night. Hot water in the shower was good for the first person but for the second one was cold already 🥶
Room was spacious Breakfast was good Very quite

Location was good as everything we wanted to visit was within walking distance. Double rooms were great with an extra bed on the 2nd (loft) level of split rooms.

The staff were on hand 24/7 and extremely helpful The hotel was very secure. Rooms were at the back and therefore quiet. Buffet breakfast was very good with a wide selection to choose from and fresh coffee. It was close to the railway and bus station. Nice touches included free water and 'goodnight' chocolates.
