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.).

RomaniaOn the day of the check-in, they assigned the same room to another guest (he had the entrance code, he burst into my room while I was in there). After that, I didn't feel safe - anyone could get into my room anytime. The wardrobe rack was broken. No Wifi, no TV. They gave some guests the wrong room codes, they couldn't get into their rooms (I could hear them in the hallway) outside my room.
The location, the cleanliness.

SlovakiaI did not like the concept of 'self checking' as enter codes were sent to me during my flight on email, without prior announcement day before check in with exact explanation how to enter the code to different devices. I understand disclosure of codes is related to cancellation rights/options. It took me several attempts to get into rooms as code device was completely new to me with very small font. I expected reception, which is under refurbishment so unavailable. Hence name 'hotel' is overvaluation. Phone contact was really bad as hotel is on very busy street and person on other side probably did not know anything about the property. My second call was cancelled without explanation. I contacted the management of hotel via email through Booking.com but answers were delayed and irrelevant, even mentioning unavailable reception. Fortunately maintenance staff (I guess) was helpful when I met them and helped me with missing kettle as well as setting up TV set. They were nice and polite.

IndonesiaCheck in time is at 3 PM and we were arrived at 4 PM and room was not ready (no bed sheets, no pillows, no toiletries, no towels, no soaps). We had to call the hotel a few times until they picked up the call and sent someone to get things we need. They most funny thing was when they handed bed sheets for us and we had to put it up to our beds (which usually will be done by the service staff).
Room was clean and quite spacious. Heater was working excellent both for room and water.

United KingdomThe instructions were not entirely clear, the front door looks awful and disused. I had to search for the entry code which could have been made clearer when it was sent. I felt very anxious going in. But the room was fine. I had to ask people talking outside my door to be quiet at 1130pm last night as they woke me up. The tv did not work and there weren’t instructions. The WiFi code was not accepted. The sheets are cheap and synthetic. The communal areas are not very clean and it’s a bit like a building site. No apparent staff. Noisy extractor fan outside but it went off at about 1030pm which was great. But despite all this it was actually pretty good.
Great location. Clean room. Hot water. Comfortable bed. I felt safe. Good value for money. Lots of towels. Lots of great restaurants right on your doorstep and good transport links.

United KingdomGetting in when you book last minute can be stressful - HOWEVER, once you find this number it is so so easy: 020 3961 6441 - it’s open 24/7 and they have all the room numbers, key codes etc everything you need for your stay. Just give your booking number. DONT miss out on this bargain place, whose rooms are beautiful, because of bad reviews. Okay - the staircase when you go in isn’t the tidiest, but the rooms are lovely!
This place has a lot of bad reviews about getting inside - but once you’re in it is perfect, especially for what you’re paying in such a beautiful place as Camberwell. THE NUMBER you need if you’re stuck outside is 020 3961 6441 - it works 24/7 and they are amazing and will give you all the codes. Just call them and you’re in! Also don’t be afraid to ask other guests, they help out. The room was stunning, just beautifully redone, bed so so comfy, warm heating, great shower. Literally a perfect set up. We heard no noise at all from our room. We stayed in room 15.

AustraliaNo elevator, so I had to drag my heavy suitcase up stairs. I hope they renovate the hallways like they are reception, currently the hallways have gross carpet and dated paint. TV has no remote so couldnt watch anything. Not sure if it was a smart tv or not but couldnt access anything with the buttons. Also the shampoo/body wash in the shower was empty, so lucky i had my own.
Room has a microwave, good sized fridge, kettle, cutlery and plates. Decent amount of floor space and a nice bathroom with a full bath and shower! Zero street noise reached my room on the first floor. Was also very very clean.

United KingdomThere are is staff in the property at all, so do not expect any help from anyone. The 'hotel' is not a hotel, it is basically university accommodation/dorm rooms. The building was soo loud, the people next to door were shouting throughout the day, we told the staff(online) and they didn't do anything, no attempt of solving any issues. The property itself is so loud, you can hear everything outside we thought the windows were open. The amenities listed as part of the deal is false. DO NOT believe them at all. There were people drilling holes through the wall at night time, this must have been some member of staff but wouldn't surprise me if it was a random guest. The signs said to leave towels in the bath to be cleaned, this did not happen and we ended up having dirty towels. DO NOT come here, it's not worth the price. The room itself was tiny, not clean and smelled The 'hotel' does not care about customer service as there are plenty people complaining about the same issues which they clearly do not care to offer any solutions
