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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The soundproofing between rooms could have been better - you could hear conversations through the walls, but the windows kept the sound of the street out.
Location excellent Room offered great views over Copacabana. Breakfast mostly good choices - but only ever 1 choice of egg ie scrambled only every day

We missed some hooks or shelves, especially some place to put the swim trunks,etc on.
Perfect location - just in the middle of Coppacabana, with lots of shops and restaurants. Quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed the breakfast, the whole family loved the cheese bread. The room was rather small for 3 but neat. The coctails on the roof are really good to try.

Front desk charged me $100 USD to check-in early but I was too tired to say no. The pool is small and positioned awkwardly. Only 2 elevators for public guest usage.
Breakfast was amazing and changed a little everyday. Staff spoke English.

Linen . Need to replace the towels etc. Totally worn out. Need to fix and clean certian items in the room like chairs are dirty .NO IRON in the room or in the hotel
Location is great. Right in front of the beach. Breakfast is good but not too fancy. Rooms are clean although need some looking into like things being loose in the bathroom. They need to look at the linen as the bath towels were no better than wiping clothes.

The air conditioning was too too loud/noise. Housekeeper not always sweeping the room
It was nice to have breakfast included in the cost, the fruits was excellent; however they need more meat varieties for those who don't eat pork. The location is excellent, right off the beach with exceptional view if you have a room facing the beach.

I guess in Copacabana you are kind of walking into the 90's, could they update their interior? If they did I think they'd get a positive wave from that. The breakfast was ok.
The room view to the beach, and the rooftop vibe were all feelgood moments and of a good standard. Interactions with the hotel staff was also pleasant, they're attentive and to the point.
