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.).

NetherlandsProblems with finding my reservation when I came , which made me stress a bit. In bad and bathroom were hairs. I think ceiling can be painted a bit, we’re some yellow spots. Housekeeper didn’t knock my door in the morning(9.20), just came in while I was changing my clothes, no apologies. Breakfast staff not speak English, hard to communicate. When I said I want to see buffet first and decide if I want to eat, everyone just was following me and not politely asked me to give signature for paying breakfast later. Gave me not comfortable feeling, like people not trust me. While check out lady was not really interested to ask if my stay was good . “Everything was fine, 21 e for breakfast to pay” no eye contact with face like 😐.
15 min walk from station Breakfast buffet is nice, they have many options Was quite and warm inside, that was nice

Belgium- considering that the hotel has 4 stars, it is interesting not to have slippers in the room.
- the location of the hotel is great. you can go to the city center by walking easily. - the room and the facilities are clean. - it is a big advantage to have a parking right under the hotel.

United KingdomWhen checking in, there was a bit of an attitude with one of the people at the Desk but it was pretty late in the evening so not a big deal. Lack of pillows on the bed which ended up killing my neck as well as my other partners on my stay. The room could get quite hot whilst in season, would be great if there was some form of air conditioning since it got pretty uncomfortable
The location was perfect to travel, eat at restaurants and was in close proximity to other amenities. Staff were polite during the stay and helped with general inquiries with how to use the train system for e.g. as well as other questions which as a tourist made it a lot easier! Bathroom was spacious.

NorwayThe bathroom was pretty cramped, and the shower/tub narrow and a bit tricky to handle. The Friesenstrasse seems to be a party mile on weekends, and there's also some roof terrace opposite that also has parties, so it was a bit loud at times. Closing the windows helped, but then you needed to turn on the old fashioned AC, which itself makes quite some noise.
Nice location close to the city center, bars, shops... Nice room with a good view over the city, good soundproofing in the windows, curtains that actually make the room dark enough to sleep, possibility to buy soft drinks ad snacks in the lobby at night, friendly staff. The bathroom had a tub.

BelgiumIn a very festive streets with many clubs so if you travel during the weekend, expect to hear very loud club music until the 5am closing - earplugs needed if you want to sleep.
Close to very good restaurants and cafés on Friesenplatz, close to the main tourist attractions (10 min walk to the Dom), the room was spacious and comfortable, they provided a comfortable baby bed.

United KingdomIt’s very tired looking unfortunately. It’s far from 4*standards in many ways. The aircon unit was probably from the late 70’s. It worked, but very noise and fiddly to operate with the remote which is hanging on a cable attached to the main unit - so it’s rather and extended control panel than a remote controller. Mould in bathroom, shower gel was not topped up and pump was broken.
Location was fairly close to central however it is in a middle of a party street…. Until early morning, loud music and trashy people are guaranteed. Good breakfast

Great breakfast buffet and not too many guests at the same time. Very quiet room (or absence of other guests on that floor). Nice and firm bed. Lovely staff. Location was great.
