Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 was compact but perfect for our visit. Location was perfect. We loved the whole area. The room was very comfortable and warm. The only problem was that the TV did not work and, although we reported this to reception three times the TV still did not work at the end of the visit. A member of staff did come to our room on the first night and spent 15 minutes struggling to get BBC1. he eventually managed to get a picture but two minutes after he left the screen went blank and did not work again. This was reported to reception

AustraliaThis is more of a nitpicky complaint so don't take it too seriously but I wasn't the biggest fan of the view which was a pigeon infested alleyway with little natural light
The location was fantastic I could get to everything I wanted to get too by walking, the room was well maintained, the furnishings were nice and I would definitley stay here again

NetherlandsThe location is just a few blocks from the main train station, and close to the center, which is very convenient. The only thing to keep in mind is that the streets are not all flat, you will find slopes uphill and downhill when walking with luggage to and from the train station. It’s manageable, but worth to know if you have heavier bags. The best part, people very polite in the hotel, they let you leave your luggage after the check out so you can still walking around and return to pick them up later.

United KingdomThe bedding was far too thick and hot. The handle on the inside of the bathroom kept coming off, even after being repaired on one occasion.
The location was excellent. Friendly helpful staff. Large room with easy chairs, a kettle and fridge. A walk-in shower and bath.

The location is great, quiet at night but central otherwise. It’s easily accessible by city buses. The rooms are fine, quite standard for the price, and much like the images shown. No surprises there.
