Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomRoom size. Booked ‘deluxe double’ finding ourselves in an extremely small room on the top floor, under the sloping roof. Deluxe??? Not really. A small shower in a tiny en-suite. Everything is within two steps from the bed. If you use the stand for the suitcase, you effectively make it impossible to get to the left side of the bed. There’s an AA award at reception for breakfast. HOWEVER… Breakfast wasn’t served at the hotel, but we could go to the other’GRAND’ hotel around the corner, if we wanted to. The bar and restaurant were shut, and dark. This was a Saturday night! We left our bag at the hotel before we actually checked in. When we came back , they had ‘stored it safely’ in an open and accessible room in the main area of the hotel, where there were actually some people sitting on a sofa. We found the price very high, compared to what was offered. This calls itself a 5* hotel, and we expected so much more from our stay.

FinlandContinental breakfast was based on wheats, so I was missing muesli etc. It could be more ample with more fruit and vegetables, and non-dairy or healthy eaters should be taken into consisideration better.
A nice little hotel, the room was a bit small but completely renovated. I appreciate that showers were new and worked well. The lighting was pleasantly soft, and the general atmosphere at the hotel quite nice.

United KingdomI messaged the hotel cause I stayed for the night on my birthday and asked if the staff could add a little something extra. I was happy to pay to have wine or something else in the room but I never got a reply. The message was not even seen. I asked as well if I could leave our backpacks at the reception as I saw that there were 2 luggage and 1 tote bag left at the reception and the receptionist said we can’t leave our bags. I asked for a small plastic bag to put a bit of my stuff in before we left the hotel because it was raining and the receptionist said they don’t have any bags. Not even one plastic bag. The hotel was recommended by a friend and from the reviews I read, I guess I was hoping for more.
I liked that the room was clean but it was not as spacious as I thought but overall, it was a nice room with most of the amenities my partner and I needed.

CanadaRoom was very small, but that is standard in London. Only had small suitcase, but big suitcase would not have opened. While still 4 stars is appropriate, it is dated and due for a refurb in the next 10 years.
Location was convenient though not suitable if you have trouble walking more than a couple blocks. Business centre was very helpful when I needed to do some work. Underfloor heating in bathroom was wonderful! Staff were helpful in minding my luggage on departure day while I explored.

United KingdomIt was very expensive £194 just for one night without breakfast. We didn't check in until 9pm and we had to leave at 7.30am so really it wasn't worth it. Although that is not the hotels fault. We weren't asked if wanted breakfast at an additional cost. When we went into the room there were some soft drinks and wine, also some bottles of water. There didn't seem to be any information saying if these were included in the price of the room so we assumed that we would have to pay extra. So we didn't partake. There were some reading lights but we couldn't work out how to turn them on. There was also a small green light in the ceiling which meant that the room wasn't fully dark and I woke up at 5pm could go back to sleep because of the light.
The room was very clean, and quiet. We liked the large bed, and the additional extras such as toothbrush etc in the room. Also it was useful to have a microwave. The shower was fantastic. The staff were polite, although one young man looked as if his suit jacket had shrunk in the wash! Or maybe he was wearing someone else's.
