How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The place is noisy due to location, the buildings around creats the type of acoustic that would make the recording studio tremble, so it is what it is.
After reading reviews of the place by other guests I was a bit affraid..., but everything was nice. Let's not forget this is two stars hotel and as such it is more than you could ask for. Breakfast was good, not huge choice, but enough to start the day.

The street in front of the hotel is quite a central one and can be quite noisy even at night. The cleanliness of the room can be a bit better.
The location is great, esp. for the price. The rooms are large enough and the breakfast is nice. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful.

- It's a very, very loud location at night. The sound isolation in the room is really bad so that you hear all loud sounds during night: emergency signals, shouting people (there are a lot of them in this area), music, bottles being broken and so on. We were on 6th floor but we heard everything like we were outside, which made us waking up several times per night, till the very morning... EARPLUGS ARE MUST-HAVE. - It was very difficult to turn the faucet in the shower: it was either too tight or outdated. - Please provide more hangers in the room. There were two of us in the room, but the room itself is designed for 3 people (one bed was double), but there were only 2 hangers in the room. There are simply no options where to hang your things so that they do not get wrinkled.
+ Central location: the hotel is close to the historical city center and main attractions. We haven't used public transport as it was easy to get everywhere on foot including the train station. + Small, but comfortable room with two beds. Beds and pillows were nice and soft. + Friendly and welcoming service at the reception. + WiFi was working almost perfectly. + Clean room and bathroom.

No A/C in a very hot period. Impossible to sleep with the window open as the room was facing a very noisy road. As it was almost a last-minute booking not great value, but that was due to change of plans.
Good location to the metro, access to buses and walking distance to the city centre.
