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 KingdomPerhaps I was just unlucky with my room but the soundproofing wasn't great - I could hear the people upstairs moving around and in the morning I realised I was next to the laundry store when they started rolling out the cleaning trolleys. It was fine as I was getting up early for work but I would have been disappointed if I was there for a relaxing break.
The location is amazing - so handy for the train. And the decor and colour scheme is great. Room was absolutely spotless. Breakfast had a good range of clearly labeled vegan options.

The hotel location was really centred to the most historical attractions. The room was not so big for the price paid, however it was cosy. The Bed was really comfortable. All the staff were really helpful and friendly.

United KingdomPaper cups for making tea and coffee. Also, could have done with a couple of glasses. Otherwise, everything was great.
Great location. Very central to all the main attractions. 2 mins to the Royal Mile, 10 mins to Colton hill and the castle, 1 min to the national gallery. Friendly staff. Hotel was very clean. Lovely comfortable bed. Modern bathroom with a big shower. Very quiet for such a central location. Not many chanels on the TV, but we weren't in the room very much to watch it. Would definitely recommend to others, and stay again.

United Stateswhat didn’t I like? There was a barricade on the street just off the sidewalk outside the front door due to some minor street repair. I say that to satisfy this question.
The staff is exceptional. The building is nicely laid out to fit into the available space. Very modern. Good TV content. Nice breakfast bar. When it came time to leave, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Honestly I couldn't ask for anything more.

NetherlandsThe bedroom was quite small and the window faced onto an alley at ground level with many passersby able to see in.
The hotel is located incredibly well, at the bottom of Cockburn Street, one of the most beautiful streets in the city. The hotel was ambient, clean, and quiet, and the bed was very comfortable.
