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.).

United KingdomPossibly a little more sound proofing from the street musician playing at the restaurant below could be helpful if you're an early sleeper.
I had an upgrade studio and was reeally happy to be met after normal check in hours by a welcoming and helpful staff member. The bed was fab and the whole apartment perfect for my needs, including a little kitchen. The street it's on with it's range of shops and eateries is a great way to enjoy Melbourne without being right in the CBD throng. It's just a walk away if it's needed.

Very good location for Carlton renowned restaurant scene. Right in the heart of it but room was quiet at night. About 5 minutes walk from a tram stop. Melbourne CBD also a fairly easy walk away.

Switzerlandmy room was exactly as described and shown on photos. The reception staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was always clean and had a balcony, the bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The location of the hotel is very close to the business district, with a tram stop nearby. There are lots of restaurants and shops in the streets around. I stayed more than three weeks there and felt like being at home.

SingaporeThe cleanliness, we could find small debris on the floor before we moved in. The kettle was not dry when we first opened it. And we are not sure if it was because of the culture in Australia, that wearing shoes in the room is common, thus, the debris. Hence we had our indoor shoes.
The location is near to many restaurants and cafes. The staff are very helpful with inquiries. We also appreciate the staff helping with our luggage storage during our last day. In addition, the place is quiet to have a peaceful night.

New ZealandOne lady in reception- not there often or for long, who did not attend to people waiting in reception while she had what appeared to be a personal social interaction. Happened a few times. When other regular staff were around, they more than made up for this.
The location was excellent and the majority of staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and considerate. Willing to accommodate requests and also checked up regularly that I had what I needed and was comfortable. This attentiveness by far outweighed the next comment.

Great staff and great value for money. The rooms were very good and overall clean. The customer service experience is exceptional however, and the best I've had compared to any other hotel/motel.

HungaryIt was a bit cold in the room 17°C/63°F and there was no heating, the staff told us the AC can heat as well but it could not produce any heat probably due to a malfunction. The view was facing towards an office next door and we saw the employees from like 10 meters (32ft) distance. But come on we came here to travel not to sit in a hotel room all day long so it was okay.
Staff is super nice, everyone was very helpful. They even gave us free parking on site. The room was spacious, the kitchen was well equipped.
