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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

- • Stayed 1 night

We had an issue in the room as no phones where connected, this was only discovered when we had an issue with tv - which would not load any channels. So as I couldn’t contact reception AND because we were only given one key card which is also used to work the lift. I had no choice other than to walk 5 flights of stairs to raise this issue (I left my teenage daughter in the room as she in the bathroom as without key card I didn’t want to leave her in the dark room) so walking back up the five flights of stairs was “interesting”. The maintenance team attended quickly but could not get phones working. They did eventually get some channels on the tv by working some magic. I was grateful for something rather than nothing, both were really helpful and clearly hard working. We were told a new phone would be sent up! That never happened and my concern was raised that this could be a health & safety risk should there be issue with fire etc. but it was never resolved. The young gentleman who had just come on duty did offer us a free drink or food for inconvenience. But as we were at a concert it was way too late to order anyway and we only stayed one night. I raised the issue about the phones x 2 and the tv to reception upon Checking out. And I hope this has been resolved for room 515. But I left worried that it wouldn’t be. This was a superior room and we loved that it was very private and a huge almost suite type room. To sum up we use Radisson Blu in many locations but on this occasion the lack of attention to detail was disappointing and inconvenience with the issues raised would make me alert if I stayed here again.
Location for first direct arena and train station is perfect. Quiet hotel and felt safe, decor and staff first class. We stayed here one night in a superior room to attend a concert. No breakfast on this occasion as we like to eat brunch at Bills Restaurant (can highly recommend)

Unfortunately the shower did not work properly in the room so washed under a trickle of water. But the reception team did note it down when we checked out.
Great location, we were visiting the First Direct arena which is not far. Lovely big spacious clean room.

The hotel room was very dusty. Work tops looked as if they needed a wipe down and the curtains were dusty. The electric also went off in the middle of the night. We weren’t notified that they were having an issue, which just left us confused. & also uncomfortably warm as the air con couldn’t be controlled without the electric.
I loved the decor and how modern the room was. Very spacious room and the smart tv was great.

Staff cancelled our room card while we were out for a coffee even though we still had an hour to check out! When I went to the desk for help I was told well what do you expect it’s almost check out time, I thought this was a very poor attitude and was furious to hear it!

The room did have a slight musty/damp smell but is a problem in a lot of hotels i have visited. Quite a limited choice of options for room service. Room was a fair size but could do with a lick of paint and a few touch ups as you could see wear and tear but that didnt effect our stay.
The staff were amazing and so kind. The hotel is great location and nice atmosphere. The room service was fast reasonably priced and tasted beautiful! Loved that we could cast our phone on the tv and the beds were 10/10 comfort.

No fridge in room, would have been more of an issue if we had stayed for more than one night. Bad smell in room like it was coming from drains. (Room 341)
