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 air-con in the room was too loud to have on when trying to sleep. This meant we had a restless sleep both nights. We couldn’t leave the window open due to road noise. The host did explain this to us when we arrived but thought it would be cool enough if we switched off the aircon at bedtime. It wasn’t. They should install a ceiling fan if they are going to keep such loud aircon.
We loved the interior design of our room. The breakfast that is in the little restaurant connected to the rooms was superb. The owner of the restaurant was very helpful with tips of what to do. The bed was comfy and the linen was high quality. The bedroom was spacious. The restaurants nearby were very good. It was nice to stay in this area away from the touristy main square. Host gave us great restaurant suggestions.

We had a problem with the safe in the room. We weren't able to open it once we'd put some valuables in for safe keeping. We sent a message to the hotel owners asking for assistance, but never got a response. In the end, we had to ask one of the cleaning staff to open it for us which they did.
Loved the location - great for walking around the town and exploring the lovely boutiques and walking to the lido. Loved the energy of the people who worked there - we were made to feel very welcome.

The room was barely sound proof at night and we had a building site in front of the room. The hotel staff is not responsible for this of course but prior information would have been appreciated. The interior looked good but was impractical, the room was horribly isolated and we could hear people in the other rooms. Breakfast needed to be order the evening prior with a breakfast timeframe of 1h between 08:30-09:30. If you did not order a day prior you had to pay 10.- more to a whopping total of 30.- .There was no chance to tell the staff in person that you wanted breakfast after the weird lobby/boutique shop closed. I would atleast expect a simpler way to order breakfast like a doodle or similar and a longer offering time than an hour. Lastly the coffee.... We got offered tea and coffe in our room that was not free. All good and dandy. But if you do this, you need to: 1. Offer a pricelist or tell us, we didnt even know it was not included in the room price. 2. Only put the coffee and tea on the bill that we consumed. We had to pay all the coffee that we COULD HAVE drank in 3 days. We had 2 out of 6 and needed to pay all 6. Plus we had to pay for the washing of the cups as well. This is just unnacceptably fraudulous behaviour and i will not come back to this hotel, especially not at this price (200.- per night). Its just not worth the money.
The welcome of the staff was nice and informative. The information provided for local restaurants was really useful and the location of the hotel is fantastic. The interiors are interestingly designed and something new compared to standard hotel rooms. The check in and check out was simple and the Ticino ticket was really practical.

The bed was uncomfortable for person with back problems (too soft mattress). The furniture were old/not well maintained and dusty. Asked for a second pair of coffee capsules but did not get it. One day the coffe cup provided was completely dirty (not cleaned at all!). There was no place to hang our swim suits after washing. The room is advertised with fridge but the fridge is actually in a shared location in the 1st floor.
The location was quite central and that was the only good asset.
