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 KingdomThe breakfast wasn’t great but the restaurant food was really good. I thought the hotel was quite expensive for what it was. £995 for 4 nights. Maybe was because it was a Marathon weekend.
Really good location for getting into town but also beach time and close to A1. Really accommodating for dogs and staff really nice and friendly. Very helpful. Beds were really comfortable.

United StatesIt is nearly half an hour from downtown, which was an unexpected bummer. The room was very hot and stuffy, making it tough to sleep, even after borrowing a fan from the front desk. The bathroom was exceptionally small, and the halls were a bit dingy. We were on our honeymoon and this was also the only hotel out of 7 that didn't offer anything (for purchase or otherwise), to make the stay a little special.
It was a nice, comfortable room to stay in! We enjoyed the size of the room itself

I arrived late in the evening, I met Stuart at reception, he’s your night guy and very efficient. I was raining and miserable. Checked and said I’ll need to go to the far car park and collect my luggage and a few things. I had been at my car only a few minutes when I heard a friendly voice in the dark, it was Stuart with an umbrella. Thank you Stuart. W Pinn

SpainA bit bland and uninteresting building. Breakfast was ok and of very average/mediocre quality, poor selection of pastries.
Comfortable, well located for buses to central Edinburgh, free and ample parking. Check-in time syste for breakfast worked well, with no waits and breakfast room not crowded.

United StatesThe room had no fridge and no toiletries other than soap. They had part of the breakfast area designated as dog friendly and you had to access it from a different door so the dogs wouldn’t be in the food area which makes sense but it was a buffet and as a solo Traveller with dog I couldn’t in good conscience go up to get food and leave my dog alone at the table unsupervised and no staff came by to offer assistance, so the breakfast was lost on me.
The room was large and comfortable, parking was great, front desk staff were helpful. Loved the dog friendly guide and treats. Good location. Wish I had more time to enjoy the spa services.

United KingdomStates online that room service is 24 hours. That is not the case. There’s no in room menu and nothing online re the menu so it’s actually quite difficult to order. We ended up calling reception and to be fair, they brought us a menu but we only had about 10 minutes to decide as last orders are at 8:45. Food was good when it arrived but wasn’t as stress free as I would have liked. A simple update to the website and a menu available in the room would solve that.
Excellent facilities, amazing room size! Good in-room tea and coffee selection, with additional available at reception which is unusual. Breakfast was really good and the staff there were extremely helpful. We used the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and were really happy with the facilities - very impressive to be honest.
