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.).

CanadaNoisy! There are lots of bars nearby and the windows do not seem to block out any of the noise. You could hear people out partying until 2-3am. Luckily we had our babies with us and brought white noise machines that helped block out the noise.
The breakfast was descent and they had GF options for me. The 2 bedroom suite worked out perfectly me, my husband, baby, toddler, and parents. The bathrooms were big - big enough to fit a pack & play, so it was like having an extra bedroom for our toddler.

CanadaQuite outdated and not overly clean especially for the price. No milkettes or creamers for coffee/tea except during breakfast hours. Parking was $25 per day (seems average for the area, but frustrating when we checked out at 8am and left the city so you pay for a whole day not being used). It says to pre-book parking before your stay but wasn’t able to actually get a hold of anyone prior, however, they didn’t say anything when we got there and said we wanted to add parking. Any messages I had sent to the hotel prior to the stay were never responded to or answered.
Location was great! Almost everything in Halifax was walkable (Halifax and the hotel is a bit up hill though, so wouldn’t recommend for those with difficulties walking/getting around).

CanadaPrice was quite high for one night. Also, there were 2 rooms booked with the reservation and I thought it was strange that the rooms weren't booked closer together. They were on separate floors.
Rooms are huge. Very clean. I like the convenience of a kitchenette...even with stove elements!! . I didn't need it this time as my stay was only for one night but this would be fantastic for a longer stay. The bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Check in was quick and easy. Parking was easily accessible. The location of the hotel is fantastic. Very short walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and the convention centre. It was a fantastic spot for convenience in the city.

United Arab EmiratesThe laundry payment can be improved, nowadays a days, it's difficult to find 1 dollar coins and 25 cents coins. The coins then could be readily available in the reception, if not a dummy coin that can be paid at the front desk. I ended up going to the restaurant and pizza house in the neighborhood at 11 PM to ask for coins because reception didn't have it and neither myself.
Staff are ALL polite and respectable, from the restaurant to the front desk. Window can be open a bit to allow fresh air ventilation.

AustraliaOur room on the first night was close to a pedestrian mall where a street performer played an amplified guitar from 10pm to 1am and a nearby bar was noisy until 3am. We asked to be moved and we were, following which we had no further issues.
Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff good and amenable when we encountered an issue. Great location parking was not cheap but good.

United KingdomThe only downside was the cost of the carpark ($30 inc tax for 1 night) and the breakfast was poor. Given that we participated in breakfast at 6.30am we might have expected the hot food to be "hot" It wasn't even warm!
The Residence Inn is in a perfect location to see the sights of Downtown Halifax. The rooms/suites are large and comfortable and we appreciated the separate sitting area and sofa bed. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. All in all though, a pleasant stay. Thank you.

Canadaparking was an issue, even after we explained that we had a large truck with bike rack… still expected us to squeeze into small lot. Took us a very long time to squeak in, and pray we could get back out when the time came. For the amount they charge to park for the day, should be able to reserve larger spots.
located at the top of the hill, lots of places to eat and enjoy live music. We booked a room with kitchen, and it was stocked with everything we needed.
