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 StatesThe parking is tight and limited, more lighting is needed for security purposes. The toilet is a bit too close to wall, not enough leg room for comfort.
The atmosphere of the hotel was amazing, comforting, and family friendly. The common areas were great; pool, lobby, and koi pond are beautiful and serene. My kids loved the vibe. No tv, but still great especially getting my kids off their butts.

United StatesMore color in the rooms, felt a bit plain/dormitory. Would have liked awareness about their vicinity to the airport, though didn't hear planes after 10pm or before 8am.
Great koi pond, Zen pool area, daily activities like yoga, lei making, and more. Appreciate they had laundry facilities on the property. Easy access to many of the local attractions. Lots of little extras like water filling station, free tea and coffee, paddle boards, umbrellas. Nice lounge area with music on the weekends, a game area, and even books to borrow during the stay. They kept the hotel very clean,

United KingdomMost rooms open onto the public spaces and walkways so you can hear everyone walking past. Unless you have an ocean view room your window is a frosted glass louvred window so there is no view and the room is quite dark. There is no room safe.
The hotel is attractively decorated with plenty of comfortable seating areas and a good pool. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful which made a nice atmosphere and there was live music in the large lobby/lounge area on Friday night. Coffee and kettles for tea/hot water were provided in the reception area round the clock. A microwave is available and there are a couple of restaurants close by. There is a guest laundry with machines and dryers. It is located close to the seafront with attractive views over the park and inlet.

CanadaThe room felt like it was missing furniture. Paid extra for the king room but it felt like they just took out the second bed. Having a chair or a table would have made the space feel more like a purpose-built king room. The room was huge but had an empty feel. the closet & bathroom area were tiny in comparison & didn’t quite match the room layout.
beautiful gardens, funky common areas, artwork on walls, koi ponds & tiki torches, live music in the lobby, free coffee, open air concept, thoughtful design integrating the Hawaiian culture & artsy decor.
