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

The room was fine but there was no dressing station to do make up etc. I ended up sitting on the floor. We could also open only 1 side of the wardrobe.
The location was ideal after a late arrival on the Eurostar

The main entrance of the hotel could have been cleaner. It was often littered with small garbage but this is my only point of criticism
Wonderful room! The free and always available coffee in the beautifully appointed lobby was a highlight.

The TV support was strong enough to hold the TV on a position that made it quite difficult to move around the room. That was really annoying. Also they said the breakfast goes until 10:30 but when I arrived (around 10) there was no fruits anymore and no one replaced with others.
Very well located, nice design and excellent staff. I would definitely come back if I have to come back to the city.

Fresh chopped fruit was consumed rapidly at breakfast and not always replenished.

We couldn't get the coffee maker in the room to work - but that might have been our ineptitude!
Everything was great - couldn't fault it. Fantastic location, wonderfully helpful staff, cosy reception bar sitting area, lovely bedroom. Would definitely recommend it.

The room we were staying in was on the bottom floor. Room number 1. This room was directly behind the reception area. The room smelt of drainage all the time and there was damp on the outside walls next to the window. No heating in the bathroom so was rather cold when you were showering. I would stay in the hotel again but not this room.
Liked the location. Stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and breakfast nice. Staff especially the young lady who did the morning shift. She advised us where the best places to go were away from the city centre.

A couple of minor things. When we arrived the room felt cold and the heating didn't seem to work. We asked Reception and they explained that the heating was controlled centrally, so we got them to turn it to a higher setting. Also the pillows weren't as soft as we would have liked.
A good size room, calm and tasteful decor, immaculate bathroom, very convenient for the Old Town and transport by rail and tram, quiet despite being close to a tramline, friendly staff.

Walls are so thin that you can easily hear neighbours talking through the walls but especially footsteps stomping from floors above. Thankfully it was only a single night stay that we had to contend with the noises. Needed to do an early checkout to get to catch our flight. Older man at reception didn’t seem to know how to pull up client accounts on the computer or even count money and do simple math for change. Held us up for quite some time. Really frustrating if you’re on a time schedule.
If you need to be close to Central Station then it’s within walking distance.
