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 KingdomTravelling solo meant my room was smaller than average, although it had all the facilities and a centralised controller for lighting and climate control. My only complaint is that the tiled surfaces on the corridors are noisy. Late one night, I was disturbed by the footfall and wheelie case noise made by a group of travellers.
The hotel was in a great location to access the old town, the beaches to the east of the town and the main bus station (if you want to travel further afield). The decor was modern and had that boutique hotel feel, without having to pay a premium price. A buffet breakfast is served in the hotel restaurant and offers an excellent range of hot and cold food and beverages. The neighborhood around the hotel has some nice cafes and bars and it's only a short walk into the old town which has a good mix of shopping and eating places.

United KingdomThe air conditioning had only one speed - full on! Otherwise it was a very comfortable stay.
The Jo Ann Palace has definitely had a facelift and is a very comfortable hotel to stay in. Entry to the room is via a tap /contactless key-card to a panel on the wall, which immediately gave a sense of security. A light on the external door panel shows that you are in the room, which means we never got cleaning staff knocking on our door. The beds were comfortable, there is good storage and there is a good range of television channels in various languages that service the many international customers they serve. The staff were all very friendly and efficient in every department.

CyprusLack of on-site parking. Municipality car parks refused to let us in, as there was a Market happening the following morning. The hotel staff, though, were kind enough to hold a space for us on the street in front of the hotel as soon as a spot emptied.
Nice, modern hotel with excellent facilities and very clean. (Lobby toilets need more attention, though). Also, right in the heart of the town, within walking distance from the old port area

United KingdomThe room was poorly designed with the only mirror being in the bathroom. The lighting in the bathroom is subdued and insufficient to apply make up. It would be helpful to have some hooks dotted around. The hotel gave us all a towelling robe however nowhere to hang it. Some instructions on how to use the lighting panel would be helpful. A light is needed to illuminate the panel in the night time to find the light for the bathroom. Our room wasn't cleaned for 2 days because we had not illuminated the correct indicator (who knew?). A visit to the pool area was slightly marred by music that couldn't be turned off, not conducive if you want to read. Also sorry to be so negative but there was nowhere to rinse and dry your swimwear.
In an ideal location close to the old town. There were 3 singles sharing a room and the hotel kindly put an extra bed in the room rather than a sofa bed. The beds were comfortable.

United KingdomA higher room would have been better as the road is busy but I was only there overnight so didn't use the balcony. If I was going to holiday there I'd ask for a room at the back or high up. The soundproofing is very good but sitting on the balcony by the busy road wouldn't have been the best. It didn't matter to me though.
The room was very comfortable, the beds soft and pillows good. The bathroom was lovely, big and with a great shower. Very good breakfast, with a huge choice of cereals, pastries, fruit, breads, spreads and cooked food.

United KingdomNo guarantee of a double bed even though it was requested in advance. The staff managed to change us into a double room half way into our stay. The view from the balcony was neither sea, city or mountain view and instead just of the building opposite. The view from the pool terrace did make up for this however. Although communal areas were fantastic, the rooms felt a bit basic and unfinished in some areas.
Communal facilities such as the pool and breakfast area were great. Good convenient location just outside of the old town and near the bus stations.
