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 Bruce was among the best hotel experiences we have had anywhere in the world. Every single staff member was welcoming. Every possible consideration had been given to ensure guest comfort. I especially appreciated having coffee on our balcony. The restaurant food quality was excellent. We recommend the Bruce most highly.

Perhaps the view from my room but still absolutely no complaints. It was lovely to have tea and cookies outside on a beautiful morning!
The breakfast was wonderful! I was celebrating a 40 friendship. We were treated to mimosas on the house. Everything was wonderful! I’ll be back!

The Bruce Hotel was amazing! The staff (particularly Rebecca) was so nice and thoughtful and all of the little added personal touches like butter tarts when we arrived, fortune cookies at night, helping with dinner reservations was so great! They went above and beyond our expectations. Breakfast included was amazing! Cookie hotline was great! The bed was so comfortable and the black out blinds really helped us get a great sleep. The pool and hot tub was great, clean and private.

limited choices for vegetarian and my only concerns were related to the restaurant. the menu didn’t clarify if the eggs were free range and didn’t mention the provinces of the meat options. gluten free/ vegetarian requirements were limited. staff very helpful when this was understood. I feel more vegetarian options should be available in such a high level restaurant
excellent luxurious surroundings

Nothing as it is perfect just the way it is from the dining to the rooms to the lobby where you can listen to a pianist. Absolutely amazing!
Impeccable service, excellent dining experiences and a fantastic location. It is truly a beautiful hotel with amenities that are wonderful- love the homemade fortune cookies and coffee service in the morning. We stayed in a junior suite and loved it. The beds are so comfortable and the bathroom is amazing and huge! We loved sitting out on the patio enjoying the garden. Philip was very helpful with dinner plans and answering our questions. This hotel sets itself apart from any other places to stay as it truly is a memorable experience!

The toilet room door jam was loose from the wall, the toilet room door couldnt lock. The main bathroom entrance had a second door with a functioning lock, and all was fine. Litterally, not another concern the whole time. It was wonderful.
It was luxurious. Modern touches, extremely friendly, extras, extras, and "it's the little things".
