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.).

RomaniaWell, the adaptors we got at the entrance ( i'm mentionig that they were free ) were kind of bad, but if one blocks it with something, it charges. Between 10 pm and 2 am the music from the lounge was loud ( but i guess that was my bad luck staying at the ground floor wright above the lounge ) and i didn't get good sleep. The beds are ok, but at 1.87 i'm at the limit and beying closed on both ends, it wont allow me to dangle a foot off. The price was ok, but close to high end for a Motel. Overall this are minor things.
I liked the location, staff, small kitchen, all the jokes written in some walls, tips akd tricks for travel, the coffee from the main lobby, the lounge and the bar. Staff was more than helpfull, smiling.

United StatesHave to make your own bed upon checking in. Unfortunately the bathroom in our room was not that clean, it’s smell like urine when we get there, and stay like that throughout our stay.
24 hours receptions. Kitchen and other amenities, but we didn’t get to use them because of time constraints. Big windows in the room that we can open, help with the air circulation in the room. There is also a small fan for each bed.

United KingdomNo table or chairs in the room even with a big empty space for them if they wanted. The bathroom in the room had no extractor fan working and the door wasn't sealed very well meaning every little noise can be heard. The floor was not hoovered or mopped for the entire 4 days I was there, so it was pretty dirty. I also had to put on my own bed sheets, and the bed wasn't exactly comfortable, overall a lot of negatives.
Kitchen facilities where very good for home cooking.
