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.).

IrelandI was in such a panic I accidentally booked the wrong night, and I wasn’t able to cancel my reservation/amend the booking without getting a refund or charged a fee so I ended up booking for 2 nights instead of 1
I needed to book last minute to stay an extra night due to an emergency and my boyfriend was in hospital unexpectedly. It was very close to the hospital, the shower was great and the bed was very comfortable

United Kingdomthe staff were friendly , although we didn't ask for anything apart from skimmed milk at breakfast and the girl did not understand what we were asking for . The radiator in the bathroom was rusty all over . The WIFI although free kept switching off so you had to keep logging on , but it worked fine . all in all it was a comfy place for us to sleep , NO nasty smells or anything unpleasent and not a bad price for near the city.
shower was good but small radiator in the bathroom was quite rusty and a little cramped , bed was large and comfy breakfast was very basic continental plus tea / coffee and toast / , just what you would expect from a 3 *

United KingdomThe bedroom and the bathroom could be spruced up a bit, it is looking a bit worn and the hair dryer was very hot.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The border biscuits in the room were yummy. An excellent location for the city centre just a short bus ride away or a 45 min walk. The garden at the back of the hotel was vey nice, there were tables and chairs if you were staying in warmer weather you could sit outside. The continental breakfast had a good selection of things to choose from. The lady in the breakfast room was polite and helpful.

United KingdomPoor first impression walking into hallway. Dirty, stained and ripped carpet, particularly on the stairs. My friend's room was stinking of a damp smell, smelling like dirty floor mops or dirty drains. Carpets generally were poor, frayed at edges, thin and a bit worn looking in places. Curtains in my room weren't hanging properly with some hooks having fallen out. Paint work needs freshened up on some walls both in the bedroom and more so in the stairwell. I paid almost £90 more for my room than my friends and will need to find out why. Both booked through Booking.com. We booked at different times. We didn't see any staff until we were getting into the car to leave when a lady came to the door and smiled. There was no attempt made to come to speak to with us.
Bed was comfortable enough and room was warm and reasonably clean. Amenities were okay.

United KingdomFor £110 a night, in the outskirts...I was expecting a little bit more; even simple things such as more options for breakfast would have left me with a better opinion. Overall is okay.
The beds were very comfy and surely had a good night's rest. The property itself is a bit old and needs maintenance, the floors squeak a bit so in the morning you hear the people getting up in the nearby rooms -not a huge bother for me, but it would if you're a light sleeper. Overall it was a good place, although it was pricey for what you get. We meet the staff in the morning during breakfast and the lady that was around was lovely, although the breakfast was continental and quite basic.

Czech RepublicBreakfast was a disappointment, being rather poor - English breakfast is not provided and apart from beverages and toasts there is not much choice - one kind of small cheese, one egg per person and some sweet bakeries, which may not suit to everybody.
Staff is very kind and welcoming. Rooms are quite comfortable, tea making facilities are welcome.

ItalyThe facility is a bit outdated, and could benefit from a bit of renovation
The accommodation is perfect for those who want to spend some time in Edinburgh. Just outside the city centre. The facility is in a good state, maybe a bit outdated, the rooms are okay with kettle, tea and coffee. The breakfast is non-cooked, but it has a good assortment of choices. I found useful the WhatsApp assistance, for self check in and check out.
