Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomWe were unable to change the temperature of the room (which alternated between too cold during the day and too hot overnight) as it was centrally controlled.
Location great with excellent views and good choice of restaurants nearby.

GermanyThe room was very warm and I could not set the AC despite multiple attempts to cool down the room, it always jumped back to 21°C, so during the night the temperature was not comfortable.
The mister at the reception was incredibly friendly and funny and welcoming, he really contributed to the joy of my stay. The hotel is 10 min walking to the city center, a little bit uphill. 5 minutes to the Chinese quarter and gay village. Restaurants and supermarket are adjacent to the hotel. The room was spacious, modern and comfy.

United KingdomPaid for breakfast and it was fair at best. Overpriced at £12 each especially as the melon and pineapple had seen better days. No beans and when requested it took so long for them to come out we'd eaten the rest of our breakfast. Not really many items to keep stocked up on so disappointed in that. Would use the small cafe next time. Chair in room 215 looking very well worn, the only downside in the room.
The hotel is in a perfect position for the city centre, restaurants and the Alexandra theatre. It was very clean and we wouldn't hesitate to use this hotel again. Friendly staff and good check in experience.

United KingdomThe staff were friendly and helpful - we were able to leave our cases after checking so we could shop which was really useful! The breakfast was excellent - still hot and fresh despite us not eating until 9:30. There was lots of choice and we were also offered coffee and pastries to go which was thoughtful!
