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 StatesI loved staying here. It was spacious, cosy, and a good location. The only thing that was confusing was that I had to pay for breakfast separately from the room but that might have been due to the type of reservation I made on booking. The location was lovely and the apartment was gorgeous. :)

HungaryOur superior room was NOT located in the main building, but next to it, in an another house. 45 steps on the 3rd floor. (but forr us, it is NOT negative, as we had sea view.) Very poorly equipped kitchen. No detergent, sponge, tea towel, sugar, salt, anything..... Take care: the water is NOT drinkable. :) Take care 2: It is NOT a renewed room, at all. It is definitely NOT a boutique hotel, but the place and the price (55 euros/night) was fine. Do not expect more from it. Despite of the "negative" issues, for this price, it is fine, because of the location, and the view. I would definitely choose it again for this price.
Spacious apartment in the old town. Big terrace with see view. Comfortable bed. Fridge and "kitchen counter". A quite nice bathroom.

ItalyThe kitchen needs more utensils: cups for examples. The breakfast was ok, but could be improved.
We had an apartment on two levels, with 2 bedrooms (more than we needed and asked) and a roomy living area very nicely furnished. The location and the atmosphere are great.

United StatesThe glassware in our kitchenette was soiled and there was no way for us to clean it (soap or dish towel). The mattress was hard, though that's a personal choice. I could have done without the very modern oil paintings in the room. I didn't like them personally, but they seemed jarring in this historic place.
Our room was enormous, and included two bedrooms, plus another room with a sofa, table and chairs, and a tiny kitchenette (fridge, sink, stovetop). The location was excellent, with great walking through the narrow streets and alleys, easy access to the sea and the many good restaurants in town. The building itself was very interesting and had many pieces of lovely old furniture about. Not to mention what remained of the old Jewish baths beneath the hotel. Breakfast was very good.

Ambiance of hotel. Location by the sea. Away from busy, touristy centre of the island. On a narrow street in the old Jewish quarter. Breakfast good. Slept well due to no noise and almost silent air conditioning.
