Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 States of AmericaBathrooms were clean, but service in the bathrooms could have been a little more thorough or frequent.
Room is a little small and the chair at the desk could be a different style so that it's easier to maneuver in the small space. Location is quiet, but close to fun things to do in the city.

SingaporeOne of the ceiling lights wasn’t working but as soon as we told the front desk she did put in a maintenance request. Some people might not be comfortable with shared gender bathrooms although we didn’t have an issue with it.
The room met expectations, relatively comfortable beds with basic bedding, desks and lots of power outlets. The bathrooms were nice and clean, it was great that there were laundry facilities although we didn’t use them. Appreciated that we were able to get a kettle from the front desk. Also pleasantly surprised that towels were provided and delighted that we had access to the gym facilities which were great. Good location, easy 25 min walk to waterfront and so convenient that parking is included.Check in/ out was smooth and staff were great. Great value stay in Halifax!

CanadaThis is not a hotel so basic stuff is missing: there is no TV, no radio and no coffee machine in the apartment. Sure, a media room is down the hall. but during our stay a couple was always there, cozy installed, so we choose not to disturb them. A map of the complex, with the facilities would help.
The rooms were clean and spacious, nicely furnished. The is a laundry available on every floor (amazing, since Halifax was just a stop for us in our long Atlantic Canada tour)

We found the reception very helpful We enjoyed being on the campus. The breakfast at Howe Hall was good value for money and plentiful. The location in Halifax was great for walking around and using the buses.

United KingdomCold water wasn't working on half the floor for duration of the stay. In-room washbasin, nearest kitchen, and half the laundry washers were broken as a result. Minor inconvenience as it only seemed to affect half of the facilities, so just needed to be worked around.
Great value for visiting Halifax. Exactly what you'd expect from student accommodation - comfortable but basic. Room was a decent size, bed comfortable, linens and towels provided. Shared washrooms were clean and no issues with availability. Reception staff were helpful, and happy to store luggage before/after stay and enable a slightly earlier check-in.
