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 KingdomThe cleaning service was so so, they never replaced our toilet paper and there was still a decent amount of mess left uncleaned when we returned to the room (i.e. carpet not vacuumed). For the price the services were probably not as great as you'd want but as it is called "suites" it isn't really a full hotel and the location was fantastic, good enough to warrant a return.
Location was fantastic, room itself was nice and the TV in the room could be connected to a phone or laptop to watch movies.

ChileThe bed was a bit uncomfortable . That was the only downside of our stay.
Beautiful little hotel in great location of old town Edinburgh . The location was the best, just steps from the St. Giles Cathedral , in a small quiet street. The facilities are quite good. The fact that the room had a little kitchennette with tea and coffee available made it more comfortable.

United KingdomThe room needed a refurbishment but was usable
Location could not be better, The very centre of town and yet on a quiet lesser-used street. The room was a good size, 20ft ceiling and bathroom was good. Decor was a bit tired and the big old sash window let in a hell of a draft! Not enough power sockets by the desk and then two, randomly on the hall wall - that kind of not-made-for-purpose annoyance. Breakfast is not offered - but neither is it wanted here becuase you have several options on the doorstep

United States of AmericaWhen we arrived we asked several times if we could park where we were at. 3 employees told us yes it’s ok. One of them said you need to put money in the meter. He took us out to show us where. Being from United States we trusted them. Come to find out we were parked in a disabled parking spot. We got a ticket in the first 5 minutes for 50 bucks. 3 employees said we were fine. Not good very upset about that. They had me pay and they then locked one of us out of the room saying oh you only paid for one night. WTH. Get it together.
The rooms were so amazing. Great views and location on point. Free laundry was great.
