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...).

expensive breakfast at 16€ each when you only eat a croissant and have a coffee. There should be a better rate for smaller breakfast.
the bed was incredibly comfortable, one of the best we have slept on. Staff were really helpful and friendly . The ability to park the car safely was a bonus.

We liked the private parking, and I would recommend it is booked in advance as it is enough for maybe 12 cars. The reception and bar are bright and modern and the location is good. We only stayed one night.

Nothing ! It was all good.
Great friendly and helpful staff who all willingly spoke English, (so I didn’t have to struggle with my very basic French) and a smile on their faces. I had my own outdoor space with comfortable chairs right next to my room on the ground floor. Very clean, walk-in shower, large comfortable bed.

Personal choice, but breakfast was not as great as they make out. Location is not the greatest, feels like you are in the middle of commercial area.
Great property, rooms are larger than some we have stayed in. Free refills on cold and sparkling water is a nice touch. Wewould stay again if in the region.

Everything was very good. We didn't have breakfast but when we passed the spread it didn't look too appetising.
The bed was very comfortable, the toiletries were lovely, the hotel was new, very nicely finished, spotless and smelled lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was great value and in a quiet area.

Negative: the price was a bit out of our budget, but it was worth it.
In the end, it's all about people. We were treated with great care by the staff, who made us feel at home. They even went so far as to save "our room" a week later when we passed through the city again, at the end of our trip, on our way home. What more could you want from a hotel than the feeling of being welcomed and at home? We loved it and will be back.

The o ku thing l didn’t like about my booking was the time taking to let’s us into our rooms. We were supposed to check in at 2pm but we remained outside until about 4pm before we could get the key or the card to enter our rooms.
The property was situated in a very place, easily accessible to the central part of the city. The hotel cleanliness was very good and furnished to good taste.

The room is very small, even if we had not much luggage, basically 2 handbags, it was hard to find enough storage to keep our room free. For the paid breakfast, I didn't like they give us only a small plate, just made the whole buffet experience worse. The food was good.
Very tidy and functional room. Good showers, clean sheets and silent room. Very comfortable to sleep.

We were not aware of parkingspaces of the hotel need to be reserved. We booked this hotel on booking.com and chose this one because of the hotel has parking. I read nothing about we had to reserve the parkingspace. When we arrived the hotel, there were no parkingspace left. It was stressful. And it cost a lot to park in the middle of the city in many hours.
We love interior and cleanness of the lobby and the room. Hotelstaff were really friendly. Location is also perfect located to reach the several beautiful places in the city.
