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...).

AustraliaWhen we booked a two bedroom apartment for 4 adults we didn't expect that the front door would be via one of the bedrooms and that you would have to walk through one of the bedrooms to use the bathroom. In essence no privacy for one of the bedrooms. It is on the 4th or 5th floor and its a very narrow staircase, so be prepared for some exercise getting your luggage up and down. We also booked on basis of washing machine for use, but it was a paid laundry service, this could be better communicated in the advertisement, getting stung $40 Euro for laundry was disappointing since we did the washing ourselves.
Spacious and bright apartment with lovely roof top terrace for breakfast which was delicious. Great choice of restaurants right outside your door.

Great location 5-7 minute walk from the place the minibus dropped us and close to the ramparts, shops and restaurants. The Soikana suite was perfect with 2 rooms and shared bath. Breakfast on the terrace was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomRooms were spacious, beds very comfortable and the location was great and close to everything. The water pressure in the showers was excellent too. The staff was very helpful and gave us some really nice recommendations. We were 3 girls and were worried about safety but we found Essaouira and the area really safe, had no problems staying out until late as the hotel was very close to the trendy bars & terraces in town. The breakfast was very good and nice to have on the terrace to chill before heading out to explore the city.

United States of Americabecause of the way all Riads are built, it can be dark inside. the fish market is right there. better to buy fish from local fishermen and find a grill to cook it (all sadly way too cheap) than going to fish grilling tourist traps in the main square. Unfortunately the owner of the Riad recommended the tourist trap to us and apparently they take commissions.
located in the old city and authentic traditional living.

RomaniaThe manager was extremly nice and helpful, he even offered to take our luggages upstairs by himself. He gave us restaurant recommandations and useful tourists sites to check out. Also, he offered us to leave our luggages at the reception after the checkout in case we wanted to roam the city. The room was spatious and surprisingly clean/pleasant. Breakfast was nice, nothing fancy. I recommend this facilty fully.
