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 KingdomAbit disappointed it is advertised as SPA access but really you can only use the swimming pool. No one explained this to us so we did end up using the main spa before we were told by one of the pool side assistants we couldn’t. Ordered breakfast for between 9-9:30. Came before 9 and staff banging on the door to deliver it.
Room was a great size, meal at the rib room was very good value. Swimming pool changing room and area is nice.

DenmarkYou can hear everything from the surrounding rooms.
The size of the room and bathroom was perfect. The bed was very comfortable. The food in the restaurant (Fusion) was really nice, breakfast was good. The coffee was very very good 😁 Me and my boy enjoyed the pool very much. The staff were helpful although a few of them are inexperienced but no major issue.

United KingdomAs a guest the advertising states there is free access to the gym and indoor pool but, in fact, as soon as you check in they are quick to down grade that free access to 1 hour in the evening. There's more time allowed in the morning but that's not very useful if you're there for work! There was one member of the reception staff who had less interpersonal skills than the rest who were very helpful. There were some parts of the hotel that were not as well heated as they could have been. The Fusion Bar/Restaurant in particular was really quite cold. Very disappointing Wifi and phone signal strength.
The Premier room which we stayed in was well equipped and a good size for a longer stay. The furnishings were good quality and well maintained. The bathroom was clean and warm. Location-wise, the hotel sits in its own grounds in an out of town location which is lovely and quiet. The downside is that you really have to have to drive to go anywhere.
