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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The smell of toilet in the room. And the toilet were not clean. I See other clients complained already. it will take 30 min for the property to clean those toilets for ever. Why are they not doing it? It's sad because, I liked the room and the mood very much.
I had a room with triple bed. The room has a lot of charm, big bathroom. View on the church and garden. Quiet neighborhood (it was a weekday).

I think is a bit overpriced for what it is. just a room where you can sleep. although it has non smoking signs everywhere, it smelled a lot like cigarettes in the whole building. people are very noisy (not the owners fault, but still) in late night and am. and again not as cheap for what is presented.

I think the way the property was advertised was deceiving. They said it included breakfast, of which I didn't get.
There was no breakfast provided.

- • Group
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
The bathroom was very cramped and not very clean or well maintained. There were persistent stains and mold in several places (there were also several moisture stains in the room itself), and we didn't always have hot water in the shower. The bathroom did not smell fresh either. The choice of a window (although with a distorted view) in the shower overlooking the room itself is also very strange. The toilet didn't always flush very well. In addition, the room was quite noisy. The fact that the hotel is located on a busy street is just that, but then it would have been nice if the room was equipped with an air conditioner, so that the windows could remain closed during the warm nights. The room was also very noisy from the inside and we could hear the other guests coming home loudly at night. There were too few electrical outlets around the bed as well. In addition, the room was generally not in a very good condition. It's clearly a budget hotel, and that's okay, but budget doesn't have to equate to poorly maintained.
The room was easy to enter with the codes communicated in advance. Except for the bathroom, the room was quite spacious and light. The beds were comfortable.

Where do I start! No staff, very narrow stairs to get to the room. Practically everything was at an additional charge, including room cleaning. WiFi didn't work. Bathroom was so small that i kept hitting stuff. In terms of value for money, extremely poor.

noted an early check-in at the booking, arrived at 8 am, sat on the street until 12, waited until they said anything at all about the booking. after given room very dirty dirty linen towels after past people. then they said to take a walk until 3 days. when the room came and was not cleaned in front of us, we just changed the bedding on one bed and that's it. all the furniture is sticky dirty it is not possible to touch anything. only one battery works. refrigerator near the bed and that does not work.
