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...).

AustraliaSpacious room. Clean and tidy. Gym is good. Service is excellent (especially Fadi). Negatives is when you check out they inform you of almost $60US of fees for use of their coffee machine. This was not communicated before we consumed the coffee. Note coffee was from a machine where you press 1 button to make a cappuccino and was very average at best. Not worth paying $4 for each cup of coffee. Also each time you enter your room you get this funny smell. Finally you are very close to speakers for the mosque/s so be prepared to be awaken by the prayer sounds.

I liked with my family everything in this place, it was really one of our few best places that we had stayed at while traveling to different countries. I believe the property management have done super great job here and considered every single detail to make sure the gusts’ experiences are unforgettable and up to the mark. Simply we liked everything…Staff positive behavior, attitude and energy, cleanliness, decoration, lighting, attention to details, comfort on all levels, wonderful location, value for money.

United Arab EmiratesBreakfast should have been included in the price. After all, the breakfast offered rather limited choices. The location is good, but little far from the the "rest of the city".
Polite and professional young staff who know their job well. Professional manager who showed both professionally and efficiency in dealing with an issue which happened. Pleasant lobby atmosphere, even though the lobby is very small. Clean and tidy.

United StatesThis hotel is a gem in Erbil. The service is impeccable, with all staff (reception, cleaning, kitchen) being extremely polite and helpful. They all made sure I had a fantastic stay and were open and positive about all of my requests. All facilities are clean and functional, including a fully equipped gym upstairs that also gives you a wonderful view of Ankawa. Rooms are comfortable and perfectly equipped with everything needed for short and/or long stays. For the price, it's very good value for money, as you get many benefits for a fair price. Thank you so much to all the staff from Hayali Boutique Hotel for making me few home!
