How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Room was great, very very clean, but the heat had me awake for most of the night. The hotel did have fans available, but I didn't want to disturb them at 2am asking for one, so that's on me not the hotel staff. I will definitely book again. Oh, as a Guinness drinker, the Guinness needs to be looked into, it tasted horrible. That is a personal thing and nothing to do with the actual high standards of cleanliness and friendliness of the staff.
Beautiful hotel, great rooms, bed was so comfortable, shower was great. Clean, quiet, very friendly staff, plenty of shops close by and city centre 20 minutes walk away.

A good standard hotel, everything ok and clean. The city center is a 35 min walk away. A taxi ride is roughly 10 euro. But only 10 min from the hotel, close to the shopping center, is a TIF public Bike rent. Book via app and it costs only 3 euros for 3 days. And by bike it only takes 5 min to get to the city center.

everything was great
The hotel was lovely. It is not that far of a walk to the city centre but unfortunately, some of the family are not fond of walking. The taxis were very reasonable so it justified the cost as the hotel was very reasonable and excellant value. Would definitely stay again. The family was from the US and they were impressed.

The hotel was hosting large parties at the time of our staying, which means that it was not very quiet. In particular, people were partying in the middle of the night in the room next to ours, waking us up.
Typical 3-star hotel near the highway. The room was spacious and clean. Nice bar/restaurant downstairs, with very friendly staff.

When we paid, at checkin. We were asked did we want the transaction to be in euros or pounds Stirling? I mistakenly said pounds and we got ripped off with the exchange rate. Manager clearly knew when we questioned the price we had been quoted against the price we paid. It would have been nice if he had warned us😟😟😟. He just blamed booking.com not sure that’s actually accurate. Future guests from the uk beware.🤨
Nice restaurant, free parking, reasonable location for the town.
