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.).

BrazilThe only thing what annoyed us is that the bathrooms in the private bedrooms are closed by only a glass door without proper insulation. So you can hear what is happening in the bathroom from the bed. We usually went to the bathroom before leaving in the morning, so one of us sometimes waited downstair so that the other could be more confortable using the toilet.
The bedrooms are small. But this was expected. Due to the price and location, we thought it was a great deal. Everything is nicely cleaned and the staff is very polite. The location is perfect. There is a lot of good food places around to explore, and the metro stations are near by. We arrived by car provided by booking and left to the airport by metro easily.

South AfricaA/C wasn't effective enough for cooling, even on the coldest setting (There was a hot pipe in the room). Walls are pretty thin too.
Really cozy and homey and enjoy my stay here. Also in close proximity to subway stations, the 51st and Lexington Ave stations a block away. Great places to eat nearby, and a nice bar next door. Overall really great value for money

AustriaWeird angled toilet in my room was the only complaint - the angle was probably due to having to fit into an awkward space.
I found the room to be basic as expected but clean and tidy and I liked having two different outlooks as it was a corner room. The room was surprisingly quiet at night and overall I would stay here again.

AustraliaAttitude of front office staff came across as arrogant and combative at times especially when inquiring about simple things i.e. extra blanket (not used to cold weather), misplaced room keys. Contrary to that, the housekeeping staff were always lovely!
I really enjoyed the location and cleanliness of the property and facilities.

NetherlandsBedrooms were very small and the stay is relatively expensive, but I guess that is just what you need to expect for NYC.
Rooms including private bathrooms had everything you needed, even extra toilets on the hallway you could make use of. Staff was very friendly and happy to help anytime. Location is great near some sightseeing places and subway stations within 3 minutes walking time.
