Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomNothing.
Friendly and helpful staff members and a very welcoming vibe. Stylishly decorated and ultra clean and comfortable rooms and fantastic menu in the restaurant. Super close to Universal Studios and other LA attractions. I could have bought everything in the store (and nearly did) Loved it and would stay again

IrelandThe sound proofing of the balcony doors wasn’t great so the traffic noise was quite loud - I would recommend earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Also there was no mention in the property policies or description that you are charged a $200 deposit upon checking in - it would be helpful to know this in advance.
Every single interaction I had with the staff was lovely! The restaurant was wonderful and it was great having coffee facilities in the room.

CanadaThe room did not have any slippers or robes. The basic bathroom amenities did not include a toothbrush or toothpaste. It was a festive time, but the energy of the staff and the place did not feel very festive or cheerful. There were not a lot of food options for those with dietary restrictions. The room service was delivered without any cutlery.
The place was very clean and the facilities were well maintained. The staff was polite. The shuttle service was prompt.

United KingdomThe only criticism I had was the noise from the highway, which could be heard through the double glazing when the windows were shut, and the noise from the air conditioning fan when switched on - but to be fair this is the price you pay for a convenient location, and there are other rooms available which face the pool rather than the road which I think would've been quieter (and with a better view)
The staff were all very friendly and helpful - particularly Rudy who was excellent at parking/retrieving our car (highly recommend guests take advantage of the Valet Parking option). Being able to watch The Princess Bride on a giant screen while relaxing in the hot tub and sipping an ice cold beer, after a hard day's walking around Universal Studios, was the personal highlight for me. The Front Yard restaurant was also excellent, and the complementary shuttle bus to/from Universal Studios was extremely welcome.
