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...).

United KingdomThe only small downside was the sink in the bathroom: while sleek and modern, its flat design wasn’t very practical... An explanation how to set up the safe box could be useful.
The Grand Hotel Continental is a wonderful mix of elegance and warmth. The façade is grand yet welcoming, and the reception area is both beautiful and staffed with genuinely friendly people. The room was recently refurbished, with a very comfortable large bed, tasteful decoration, attention to details, and a stylish bathroom. The spa with a large jacuzzi pool was a real highlight: spotless, fragrant, and brand new. Overall, an excellent stay in a refined setting, and very good value for the experience. Location is perfect, quiet and close enough to the old town to walk there under 5 min.

United KingdomI think the restaurant could do with a more varied menu. Due to its location, you walk out and find a sea of restaurants and bars but would be good to add few more options to the in-house menu.
Superb building, superb location, superb cleanliness. I stayed there few times already and will stay again.

United StatesOur only issue is that the hotel set the minimum room temperature For The Entire Hotel and All Rooms to 22 degrees Celsius (which is 72 fahrenheit) which is too hot for sleeping well. We had the concierge confirm that all rooms had this minimum. The thermostat went down to 15 degrees celsius on the little screen, but the hotel had a limiter so that the room actually stops cooling down at 22 degrees celsius. That is a problem. We had to have the concierge bring us a simple top sheet to use instead of a duvet as it was too hot in the middle of August with temperatures outside at 24-25 celsius all night long, and we completely kicked off the duvet.
This is a true 5-star hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and you can really feel them attend to you. Breakfast is very good, and you get to use a few aspects of the spa for free as a guest. Very good location.

United StatesThe only complaint about the room seems to apply to Romania in general - showers are open and have only a tiny glass partition that doesn't really separate them from the rest of the bathroom. This leads to a great deal of water splashing outside after even a short shower, so it is important to be careful when stepping out, especially since the tub is raised up from the rest of the bathroom.
The room was very charming and clean. The staff were courteous and helpful, and a highlight was the breakfast buffet, which had a wide range of foods, juices, coffee, and excellent pastries and sweets, as well as a bottle of prosecco for a bubbly brunch option. Great location and perfect for exploring Old Town Bucharest!

United KingdomNice hotel, ideally located. Would happily stay again, but not in room 102. Glass wall and door separating bedroom from bathroom offer a good view of the loo, directly opposite the bed. Glass is frosted but only partially - see picture. Some folk may enjoy that but we'd rather a bit more privacy.

United KingdomOur stay at Rate Grand Hotel Continental București was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and their warm hospitality truly set the tone for what became an unforgettable mother–daughter getaway. The hotel itself is breathtaking—elegant, impeccably clean, and brimming with character. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the delicious breakfast spread, was thoughtfully curated to make guests feel pampered. We especially appreciated how quiet and serene the atmosphere was, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy each other's company. This trip was a special one for us, and the hotel played such a huge role in making it a complete success. We felt cared for, welcomed, and thoroughly spoiled. Thank you for helping us create beautiful memories that we’ll treasure forever. We can’t wait to return!
