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.).

MalaysiaFor the price paid, we are expecting at least 4 star facilities. The place was rather run down, spa water was dense, pool crowded and the rooms smelt musty guise by heavy use of bleach.
It’s location in the mountain and access to a hot pool

United StatesThe only negative experience we had resulted from the belligerent drunk (off duty) property bartender who joined our northern lights tour. He bragged about flipping one of the properties snow machines, and yell talked to anyone unfortunate enough to be near him. We watched him aggressively yell at it his coworkers on duty and throw a drunken tantrum. It unfortunately ruined the experience of the excursion we paid for and we’re looking forward to.
The hot springs and landscape are stunning!The staff are friendly and very helpful. It’s an eclectic property with a lot of experiences offered on site.

United StatesThe temperature in the rooms is difficult to regulate. The restaurant needs to develop a better plan for seating customers at tables. They do not take reservations and the wait times can be excessive.

United StatesThe hotel is dirty - lobby, toilets, carpets, bar area, yuk. The hot springs and change rooms are filthy. They are apparently understaffed - whether that is due to poor management or lack of interest, I don’t know, the result is lack of cleaning and when checking in on time we found our room was not ready, and after driving all day to get there, that was not the welcome we hoped for and I feel for the staff because nobody trying to check in enjoyed hearing “your room is not ready yet”. What’s more is, they had all day to tell us our room would not be ready by the checkin time they had given us, but they waited until we were there to tell us.
The room was big, and the beds are comfy. We were in Moose lodge.

United StatesThe Rude Activities Staff! They were not welcoming, friendly or very helpful! They were doing a job they were paid to do and that was it. They were sometimes rude and condescending to the group , rudely calling someone out in the group. (2 different tour guides did this). They could use a microphone or something so the group in the back could hear them! They left the elderly way behind to the point of them not being able to hear .

United StatesOur room was pretty old and not much cleaned. It got too warm and we couldn’t adjust the temperature in the room. The bathroom fan and light was always on, and the plugs weren’t working between beds. Also one night they closed the hot springs when we tried to soak. That was disappointing. It could be because someone fell and got injured by the hot springs. It was slippery due to algae by the hot springs entrance. They must have cleaned there since it wasn’t slippery next morning.

United StatesGuest rentals are a bit "thin"; there were only two snow machines (snowmobiles) to rent, and they often were not returned on time, so many guests were unhappily waiting their turn. The Ice Hotel is not worth the price of admission.
The hot springs (Rock Lake) are the obvious star of this property. The restaurant offers very good food, but the wait to get in can be long. The staff we interacted with were uniformly helpful and friendly.

United StatesLots of unwritten rules about how to get food and drinks at the restaurant. No bartender on duty before 4 pm (but you just have to guess this because people are coming and going from the bar all day), can't sit down until ALL people are standing at the hostess desk (NOT sitting in the bar), no drinks served before 10 am. At the hot springs/pool - a random supply of the coin lockers don't work. Not really a big deal though people did seem to take my towel half the time when I brought it to the end of the ramp.
The scenery at the hot springs and resort is amazing. The tour guides were mostly really nice. The lattes at the cafe in the Activity meet-up spot are GREAT!

United StatesRestaurant and activities were outdated. They were trying to control dozens of guests only by handwritten memo or their memory! And sure enough, they were always getting confused for order and upset. I guess they get enough profit to introduce better systems because all guests have to pay a lot of additional money to stay this resort…
Old but it was clean. The room was not very warm but that’s fine thanks to nice hot springs.
