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.).

PolandThe only two things that I could complain about was my mattress that was way to soft for my liking and that if one has a room facing the highway, some noise of the traffic can be heard. It wasn't that traumatic as I had decent sleep (there were two curtains that helped to cancel the noise), but some people may prefer to choose the other side of the hotel if this should be an issue for them.
Well, I spent only one night there, so my experience is limited. However, in general the hotel impressed me as moder, comfortable and cozy with convenient location that eases access or further travel. The staff was super nice and helpful. The breakfast was decent and plenty.

United StatesThere was some confusion with our airport pickup. I had gotten an email confirming the pickup but they didn't have any record of it in their system. I'm not sure if that's a common problem though or if we just got unlucky. We also ended up having to switch rooms because our first room was dirty. There was a half drank water bottle on the chair, coffee on the walls, and the carpet was pretty dirty. They kindly upgraded us to a junior suit but unfortunately the room was missing the mini fridge and we found clumps of hair in the bathroom and living area... so the cleanliness left a lot to be desired...
The staff members were the best part of our stay, they were very kind and quick to try and resolve any issues we had. We were upgraded to a junior suite and the bed was really comfortable. The breakfast was really good and had plenty of vegetarian friendly options.

Czech RepublicLocation - on one side there is a busy road, and on the other side there is a staging area for construction machinery, so until late evening and early morning (approx. 5 am) we were awakened by the whistling of machinery reversing, honking, etc. The windows are obviously not soundproof.
Very nice hotel, with clean and spacious rooms. At walking distance from some restaurants. Breakfast was modest but since you can order your choice of eggs, it was not so bad after all.
