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...).

BrazilThere isn’t breakfast available. The location is not perfect, but it’s well connected by metro and sits in between the two most important sight areas (gardens and cannals)
I’ve loved my stay here! This place is so cool and artsy, but also cosy. The staff is great and super helpful. The rooms are huge, full of amenities. It’s very nice to have the experience of staying at a guesthouse, instead of the hotels readily available in China.

Costa RicaEverything was great!
Charming Guesthouse in the heart of Suzhou located in a quiet side road. Perfect location - you can walk to most of the sites. Lovely and very helpful host that helped us with all the logistics (as we don’t speak Chinese and didn’t have some of the essential Apps on our phone…), recommended a great restaurant for vegetarians and let us do a late check-out :) Although no breakfast is served you can sit down in the garden or cute living room and have some tea and coffee.

AustraliaWe loved staying here. The room is comfy and homely and the host is very kind. The hotel is within walking distance to the train and buses and restaurants, which made our trip very easy. The host gave us suggestions of lesser known places to visit. The room is small but has all the essentials and the accommodation communal areas are very beautiful. This was much more relaxing than staying in a big, busy hotel

SpainNothing. Everything was great
The place was very clean and very beautiful. It makes you feel like at home from the minute you step in. The hostess was really nice and helpful. She gave us some good indications and kept our luggage for some hours the day we were leaving. The room was very comfortable and clean. Only the bathroom was a bit small perhaps, but not a problem at all. The location is very good, in walkable fistabce to most of the interesting locations in the city. It is located in a very authentic street and although the place is a bit hidden, we had no problem finding it with the hostess indications. We would definitely choose this guesthouse for a future visit in Suzhou.

FranceThe hotel itself is very nice , it’s in an old Suzhou style house in a local alley . It’s right next to an excellent food street which is not just for tourists but also frequented by locals. Close to almost all the attractions.. The couple who recently bought the hotel are very warm and welcoming people . They provided us with free drinks and given us great suggestions for visiting. They are more like friends to you other than hotel owner. By the way , they are both artist so if you want some Chinese paintings you should ask. Before we leave they even helped us book a taxi since we didn’t have the app for taxi booking, and it was hard to call a taxi in the street, the owner went out in the rain to help load our luggage. Many thanks for that. I strongly recommend this hotel for people who want to visit Suzhou
