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.).

United KingdomThere was a prostitute in the room next to me that kept me up all night. The reception staff sighed and said ‘she wasn’t supposed to be on your floor’ The reception staff sent me to another room (didn’t help with my luggage) and when I arrived at the other room there was a naked man, smoking drugs in the bed. They moved me to a third room (No help with luggage) and the lock was broken so every day after work I had to wait at reception for someone to be free to let me into me room. The WOFI didn’t work. The TV didn’t work. This was the case in both rooms I stayed in. I had an important interview and may now no longer have the job because I couldn’t connect (it states in all your literature that there is WiFi but the reception staff SHRUGGED and told me it wasn’t working)

United KingdomFirstly I had to go to the Reception 3 times to get a key that worked, in the end they changed my room. But I still had to get the key replaced twice because it just didn't work. The double bed was actually 2 singles shoved together. Id say the bed was as old as the hotel. but it worked more or less. When I went to bed, there were some very loud people with i think spanish accents. At one point I could hear a phone ring and it was on speakerphone, I could clearly hear the conversation that was a girl saying 'You can have to hour' and the Gentleman saying 'I can only afford one hour' It was clear that this hotel is being used for escort work. I could also hear from another room as I walked along the corridor they there was very loud bedroom activity taking place. OK this is a hotel it happens & I am no prude, but if this goes on then I'd rather they kept the noise down. Fortunately I had ear plugs with me. And this 'Office' next to my room they just talked so loudly.
The bedding and towels were clean. The room was very dated with round pin plug on the TV set, I didn't mind this 70s nostalgia and the bathroom was clean with hot running water. My initial thoughts were ok. The hotel had a car park but I feel parking should have been included in the price, but It was nice that there was one.

United KingdomThe staff were not chatty or very welcoming and it was not busy to warrant this. We were put on a row where people are isolating. The tv is shockingly old and could not get much reception on it. I would have loved a bath but it was not inviting in that bathroom. Very cold in usually when going to sleep. I was woken about 4:15 with load banging like someone hitting metal pipes, blokes yelling and fighting. I tried to phone the hotel but my phone cannot call premium numbers, my anxiety soaring I couldn’t walk to reception to tel anyone. Phones in the room would be good. I can imagine the hotel only attracting stag doos, somewhere for people to crash on a night out getting drunk.
Could not fault the cleanliness, room was spotless, smelt fresh, bedding was perfect white and every thing was super clean.
