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

Verified reviewIt was afforable.
- Mold in the bathroom and on the curtain. - Room and bathroom need renovation as somethings were almost falling apart. - Noisy. Im used to some noise from hostels and they warned us about this beforehand but this was way worse. It felt like my bed was in the restaurant with live music. Dont go here if you want to sleep before 1am. - Booking mentions balcony but there is no balcony. We went to the reception to ask for a room with balcony but as they were fully booked, couldnt change us. It was maybe possible the day after but doubt that the room would be in a better shape than ours.

Verified reviewRooms were clean.
The walls were paper thin so you could hear all of the music playing downstairs. They did not stop playing the same five Bruno Mars songs. I must have heard Grenade 4 times in an hour and a half. Additionally, there was no shower curtain in the bathroom and all of the water ended up on the floor.
Thank you Arturo, for taking some minutes of your time to share these comments. We certainly take them into account and will take them to the management. We apologize for the inconveniences the music might have caused you. Thank you for your preference. Regards, Laura C

Verified reviewThe place was really nice and location is amazing. I assumed it would be too much noise but it was just perfect.
The only thing we didn't like it happened just upon our arrival. The card machine wasn't working properly and saying that our card has been declined even though just min before we were paying with the same card so we had to go to ATM to take a cash with the very same card and it worked. So big minus for that since we came all tired after our trip.

Verified reviewToo noisy most of the night with music from below. Staff talking too loud at 6am outside the room. Had to pay nearly the same price as the room because the sheets were a little dirty after sleeping in them!!!!
