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.).

GreeceRoom carpet and furniture a bit old. A/C was on some occasions noisy. Stayed for weeks. My only complaint was having 2-3 times towels fresh-washed, still with old stains. Had an issue with wi-fi for 1 day although I stayed very long, so this was rather the exception .
Good location (3 bus stops from transit center, most supermarkets ~1 km away, grocery, pharmacy). Room very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean, room also clean. Staff was always there, extremely helpful and polite. Fast internet connection. Price was probably the best compared to other hotels in the area.

United StatesThe check-in clerk was very young and not all that friendly, but we had no issues with check-in.
There was no breakfast except for in-room coffee, and ONE pastry (there were two of us). Who knows how fresh the pastry was? We did not eat it. This was my first ever stay at an ABVI, although I've seen them all across the country. I have always been a bit leery of them because generally they don't look very inviting from the exterior. I have to travel to Palo Alto a number of times per year for medical treatment at Stanford. We generally have to stay one night due to the distance we have to travel. We've stayed in almost every budget hotel from South San Francisco to San Jose to the East Bay, and have never found one we would return to, until now. I was quite surprised. Our room had been entirely remodeled (not piecemeal like some places do.) Although the room is small, it was very clean, and so nice to have a new, clean bathroom. My only complaint is that the pillows were not very comfy, although the bed was. I got a great rate for the room, and it is literally just minutes from Stanford, so we'll be coming back for my next visit.
