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 KingdomWe recently had the pleasure of staying at the iconic Raffles Dubai AGAIN, and I must say it was an experience beyond compare. From the moment we stepped foot into the luxurious lobby to the final farewell, every aspect of my stay was meticulously curated to perfection. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional staff members who made my stay truly memorable. Ashraf, our dedicated Butler, ensured that every request was met with utmost efficiency and warmth. A special mention goes out to Woulstain, the Food & Beverage Outlets Manager, who orchestrated delightful culinary experiences throughout my stay. His expertise in curating gastronomic delights tailored to my preferences was truly commendable. Yousef and Priyanka, the talented individuals behind the breakfast magic at the restaurant, served up delectable dishes with unparalleled finesse. Talha, the vigilant member of the security team, ensured a sense of safety and security at all times, allowing us to relax and enjoy our stay with peace of mind. Jolly and Manan at the reception desk greeted us with warmth and efficiency, swiftly attending to all formalities and ensuring a seamless check-in/out process. Furthermore, Joanna and Queenie, the dedicated members of the guest relations team, went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay exceeded expectations. Their attentiveness and willingness to cater to our needs were truly remarkable. Not to be forgotten are the unsung heroes like James, the doorman, whose cheerful demeanor and assistance added an extra layer of warmth to my Raffles experience. As a family holiday destination, Raffles Dubai surpassed all expectations, making it our second consecutive visit and leaving us eagerly anticipating many more to come! The seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and personalized service ensured that every member of our family felt pampered and cherished throughout our stay.

Beautiful hotel that is well equipped and very clean. Attention to detail was good with welcome chocolate and a bookmark provided when they noticed a book on my nightstand. Breakfast buffet had a very wide selection and was delicious, and room type included access to the club lounge with complimentary drinks and canapés in the evening. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Location is good, 15 minutes from Dubai Mall etc. Asked for a softer pillow and it was provided. Solo restaurant on the 3rd floor was delicious, and hotel is connected to Wafi mall which is convenient. All together a great stay!
