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.).

Czech RepublicThe size of the beds and the "paper walls". You could hear absolutely everything from the other room and the corridor. Plus from outside.
The hotel was really nice, clean, with great amenities. We had a sea view and it was nice but there were many homeless people in front of the hotel screaming all the night. The room was cozy, but the queen bed was too small for 2 people sharing one bed. Santa Monica Pier is 5 minutes walking and you can find really good mexican restaurants on the street. But between the hotel and the beach there are 2 motorways.

United StatesThe price vs the size of the room was questionable for sure. Also the fact that if you choose to sit on your balcony at night, you subject yourself to being pointed at by the people who clearly occupy the street below. You can see them making drug deals across the street and they very obviously didn't like that; nor did we. Not really the hotel's fault but definitely part of the experience, which makes the over $500/night seem ludicrous.
The location and cleanliness were the best parts about this hotel.

United KingdomWe like to sit on the balcony and have a lazy morning with ‘normal coffee’ but you only get a couple of nespresso pods which make very small coffees. No bar at the hotel to relax and unwind and a lot of bars and restaurants in and around the are shut early.
Great location and great room. We were welcomed with complimentary soft drinks and snacks and a personalised welcome card such a nice touch.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have a small breakfast bar. But that wasn't a deal breaker since they offer two variations of discounts elsewhere.
The location was absolutely wonderful. Everything that you needed was in walking distance. All of the staff was wonderdul, but Joy stood out the most for me. She was very informative and she made all the reservations for our tour. But the location and convenience made the cost of this hotel well worth it. I would definitely stay here again.
