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...).

South AfricaOngoing maintenance to the hotel suites needs attention. Curtains and carpet need to be washed. Toilet seats have stains. Overall the place offers good value for money, a little attention is required to move from good to great!
Staff were friendly at all times and went the extra mile to assist which was greatly appreciated. Great spa facilities to unwind after a long day. Excellent spread of food at the restaurant.

UkraineBedspreads were washed but had some old stains. Also bathrooms need to unclog the drain.
Very friendly stuff. Check in was very fast and easy, not often I could say this about check in in the hotels of Indian. We ordered food from their restaurant. It was very tasty. I liked that hotel had spacious room and bathroom. Sound isolation in room very good. To my pleasant surprise room had also ironing board and iron :). Also I liked that room has big windows you could see city at night. I would definitely try also other location of this hotel branch.

Russia1) The view from the window was to the construction side. At the reception the manager offered a good city view. I came in the evening, so I couldn’t see what’s there outside. The other side was to the garden. I wish I could have stayed in the room with the garden view. Entrance side rooms — construction view. 2) Another thing was the payment issue. I used my card to pay, but the battery of the payment machine was almost dead and during the transaction it turned off. The amount was deducted from my account but it didn’t come to the hotel’s account. I had to pay the same amount twice. Only 2 weeks later the amount deducted from the card came back to my account. 3) The windows cannot be opened. No fresh air. Only AC. That was a bit disappointing.
I liked the variety of items at breakfast. It was very tasty. And I could eat without dragon flames coming out of my mouth, you know, it can happen in India. The room was fine. Nice hot shower. Wifi. Comfortable chair to sit at the table. Sofa. It was quite good. Overall, it was a nice stay. Especially the hotel staff is very kind, polite and supportive. Had a very good impression.

ItalyNothing in particular. On a negative note, I was on a business trip with colleagues who were staying on different floors from mine and I couldn't access them, each guest can only access their own floor by activating the elevator with the room key
Excellent Hotel. Good cleanliness, nice and clean rooms, excellent size. Really excellent breakfast buffet, as well as lunch and dinner (both buffet). Lots of attention to specified food allergies and intolerances excellent coffee (Italian) Perfect internet. Presence of swimming pool and gym super recommended and I would definitely return

IndiaThe buffet was a big disaster, idlis were not even cooked properly, for a 5 star hotel the food is a disaster and not upto the mark. Also the buffet spread is very lackluster needs a big time improvement.Especially the price per night is not justified with the lackluster food spread. Also parking needs to be more organised, due to some ongoing renovation work the multi level carpark are all disfunctional and cars are parked haphazard. Front desk staff were not courteous they need to be trained well on how to market the property and brief clients about the breakfast timing, Wifi password. Also the concierge team was not to be seen, saw pile loads of luggage at the reception without being taken to the rooms.
The room had good facilities we liked the bottled water in glass and focus on sustainability by using eco friendly brushes and dispensable soap etc.
