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 KingdomThe bed was absolutely rock hard and we both woke up with sore backs/hips/neck etc. There wasn’t much in the way of facilities/comfort items in the room (considering it was a deluxe king room), no bottles of water or a small fridge or anything really, it was not what I’m used to at a Hilton so it was kind of disappointing. The most irritating part of the stay was the fact that we were told by multiple staff members at the bar, at check in & on the message received from the hotel prior to our stay that there was food service available (reduced menu between 11pm-7am) 24/7 so we expected to be able to order something to eat when we returned from the arena late that night, but we were then told they weren’t serving food with no further explanation as to why. I hate complaining, but this was really inconvenient & massively irritating.
The location is excellent for the arena & check in/out & parking is very easy. The hotel itself was very clean & welcoming.

United KingdomShame that a top hotel like Hilton does not have a smart TV or air conditioning. The room was so warm, the heating was on on arrival.
The bed was super big and comfortable, and the location was great.

United KingdomThe bar staff were severely lacking in customer service skills and need to learn appropriate in front of customers. I was getting some diet cokes for my children and I when I walked by a few staff members of that area loudly speaking and swearing during a general chat. This was not acceptable in front of young children, when the issue was raised there was no apology given. As the weekend wore on; the bar staff then started refusing service to those attending a convention in the hotel using grounds of undesirability. It was as if they were trying to lose custom that weekend.
The room was respective of its high price, in both sizing and amenities available. The executive lounge and staff within were well untruly worth the price alone. They were very welcoming and accommodating within the lounge and would stop for a general chat with us to make us feel more at home.

United KingdomWell I didn’t enjoy my stay as the room was next to a lift that was in use all night and was in dire need of maintenance I could hear the shaft of the lift squealing and scraping, I had a terrible night sleep and I the fact I refused to stay the second night I woke up feeling exhausted and not good mood, I didn’t pay for a experience like that in a HILTON, on top the Asian/filipino receptionist didn’t handle the customer complaint very well I didnt feel like a guest more like a enemy he didn’t want to serve. His position shouldn’t be in the face of customer service. Shocking for HILTON

United KingdomThe food was extortionately priced, and very poor. I requested a medium rare steak and most of it was rare and stringy. the brandy I had with my meal tasted watered down. The staff were too busy to listen, I asked what draught lagers were and was told you do Perronnii, I said ok and got a tiny bottle. My wife's meal was worse apart from the mac & cheese, tiny roasted vegetables for £7.50 Breakfast, mushrooms inedible, eggs cold, sausages good, bacon fair, and cheap baked beans. I left a tip only to find a service charge was applied. No site of bill. One of the questions is paid for wi-fi, it's like this with everything.
The bed was what was expected and high quality. The bathroom is acceptable. I only stayed here as I had a foot injury requiring corrective surgery.

United KingdomThe sink was blocked for my entire stay (the plug wouldn’t undo), so it was a bit grim when needing to use the sink. The heating didn’t work either but there was a mobile heater in the room. I just would have thought the executive rooms would be all in working order…
Easy to find, good layout, and very comfortable bed. Good gym, very clean and friendly

United KingdomThe room was very "tired, I was so disappointed with the room when we got there, as it was my husband's 60th birthday and we had tickets for the area and I wanted it to be a "special" time. The room was very tired and realistically needs updated decor and bathroom to justify the approximately £170 night price tag
Beautiful setting, amazing communal spaces
