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...).

Lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Our room was pretty and spacious, and the location was perfect.

SingaporeThe room was facing the main street and it was very noisy when the trucks, buses, cars and bikes pass by. Worst are the bikes when they consistently accelerate past the room with a loud ear piecing engine screeching noise.
Location is good. It's a 5 min walk down the slope to the ferry terminal and a 15 min walk from the train station. Many restaurants within walking distance. The hotel breakfast is good value for money. Staffs are friendly. We requested for an early check in and it was granted.

United States of AmericaThe noise from the street is a problem. Another guest suggested I try earplugs after my sleep was ruined the first night by the noise from trucks, motorcycles, and even people talking as they walked past. That helped a lot. There is also too much light coming through the window from the street lights right outside. It's as bright as sunrise all night long. There are only sheer panels over the window. Adding a light blocking curtain would fix that problem easily.
Mateo at the desk was so gracious and helpful! The room was clean and comfortable. The location was close to everything the town had to offer and a short walk to the train station. There was a small quiet courtyard with tables, chairs, and umbrellas where we took our coffee after breakfast. And the breakfast was great! Lots of options!

United States of AmericaThe air conditioner fan worked but the air did not seem like it was any colder than room temperature. The bathroom had no ventilation other than opening the windows, and I did not like to open it more than a crack most of the time because of mosquitos. A window screen would be useful. I am a short petite person and even I found the shower to be too small.
We chose this hotel because it's a short walk from the train station, which is how we traveled. Our room was quite small but the double bed was large. The room our kids stayed in had 2 single beds and their room was larger than ours. The staff members were very helpful and professional. The breakfast was good for being included, although eggs were served only some of the time. We appreciated the gluten free choices.

United KingdomThe property has very thick walls so the Wi-fi was patchy. The old Italian sockets should be replaced with EU standard 2 pin sockets as it’s difficult/ dangerous to use them. The breakfast was very carb heavy. Some salad would be great.
The location close to the station, ferry and town centre was perfect. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
