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 KingdomRoom had a wooden panel with a door connecting to adjoining room. You could hear people talking in the next room. Walls too thin to keep out noise, even when people just talking normally. Could not get safe to lock
Location good for Hyde Park, Paddington station and West End generally. Breakfast good with plenty of choice.

United KingdomAccess to our room was full of twists and turns, slopes, doors and stairs which might have been difficult with a large suitcase or for the less able. The room itself was very small but ok for a short visit if you’re out for most of the day. It was too warm for us but we were told that the temperature could not be reduced and we could not open the windows. We reported one or two problems with the bathroom which will hopefully be sorted. Beware of the hot radiator as you exit the shower!
The staff were very helpful. There is good access to Hyde Park, the tube network, restaurants and shopping. It is very quiet. The bedding and towels were of good quality.

FinlandFirst night our room was located on a mews side, under the garage. There were garbage bins next to our windows that were emptied during that night. Luckily we were transferred into upper floor on the next day. I felt that everything was a bit broken. Inside pictures of the hotel do not match the hotel overall feeling at all.
Beds were comfortable and breakfast was ok but not worth of money spent

LithuaniaTiny room but got all you need so not a problem if staying for a night or two. Soap and shampoo hanging on a wall way too high for a child to reach and no possibility to take it off the wall so a bit of inconvenience if staying with a small child.
The location was great. Simple but nice breakfast. Although we had a tiny room, the shower was spacious enough.

United KingdomI booked a double room. What I got was 2 single beds pushed together with 2 single duvets on top. The room itslef was ok - but the hotel doesnt have any soft close fire doors and are quite noisy. Plus there are ALOT of doors in this hotel - lots of short corridors and levels. The buffet breakfast was great but the cooked elements were not hot.
Great location

SpainI could write a whole litany here, but it would be long, so I'll just list them: 1. The room was the size of a small handkerchief 2. The room was very old-fashioned 3. The bathroom was renovated, but there was so little water pressure that the shower head had to be removed to get the water flowing a little better and to wash the shower gel off in about 5 minutes 4. There was a hairdryer in the room, but no sockets in the bathroom (where the mirror was) 5. The room was very old-fashioned 6. The bathroom was renovated, but there was no water pressure, so much so that the shower head had to be removed to get the water flowing a little better and to wash the shower gel off of you in about 5 minutes 7. There was a hairdryer in the room, but no socket in the bathroom (where the mirror was) 8. There was a kettle, but there was no socket, so it had to be used on the bed 9. There was an iron, but no socket, see below; 10. Connector for charging phones was hidden behind the bed 11. Although the hotel was supposed to be 4 star, they could not provide a European standard socket converter, so sent me to a nearby Chinese shop to buy one at 11 PM 12. The bed is narrow for two people, however we are not fat 13. After cleaning, the staff left the door wide open for the whole day, but fortunately they didn't steal anything and tried to compensate this mistake with a breakfast (thank you!) 14. Breakfast is pleasant, but in our opinion £20/person is too expensive 15. The reception staff were invariably bored and resigned 16. Overall, I think it is a far from the 4 star rating and quality that Best Western is used to 17. since we checked out, we have received several emails from the property to appreciate their work in a review (I think they expected a better one) 18. All in all, even with the Genius 3 discount, they are overpriced.
If I have to write good things about the accommodation, I can mention two things: 1. The location of the hotel, 2. The kindness of the breakfast staff. Everything else is not good, but rather bad.
