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 could be improved, however the breakfast choice could be wider.
The breakfast could be expanded to include more hot meals as well as the cold buffet. The location of the hotel, doesn’t represent the hotel’s luxury, however it is next to the city’s nightlife, and all of the amenities.

CanadaNothing I can think of!
In a good location. Many sites of interest within walking distance. I'm a sucker for this kind of place: Art Nouveau with lots of draperies and tapestries with high ceilings and chandeliers, slightly over their best period but still beautiful. Well kept up and clean and comfortable. Breakfast included. Friendly helpful staff.

United KingdomThe breakfast could have been better. I did not like their coffee and the fruit on offer was tinned. However there was a good selection of pastries!
The Art Deco elegance as well as the modern comfort. The staff were extremely helpful. The centre was easily walkable from the hotel. We were also impressed by the city.

United KingdomAs we drove nearer, my heart sank at the state of the neighbourhood (graffiti, rubbish), but we couldn't have been more surprised when we stepped inside! This is an absolute gem of a hotel! Superb staff (helped us park in the hotel grounds), who recommended the most extraordinary and brilliant street restaurant for dinner. Both our enormous hotel room, super breakfast AND the local restaurant were all knock-out brilliant and we've been recommending this hotel every since!

United KingdomAt the price point we would have expected more vegan options at breakfast or at the very least allergens could have been listed on the food items which is quite commonplace to find these days. With that said, although the breakfast options were bit slim for us, on request we were offered cappucinos with oat milk that we very much appreciated.
The hotel has charm and an aesthetic air reminiscent of Hercule Poirot films and it is conveniently located. Our room at the top floor was pleasantly cool at night and the bed linens were of top quality - we had very good sleep. The staff at reception, especially Silvio, were very welcoming and professional. As it were our last day, we found both the early check-in and later than usual check out times very convenient for our stay. The luggage storage on site was great too.

GermanyFor me personally the mattress of the bed was way too hard. But that is a matter of preference.
The hotel was beautiful - like you would imagine a romantic Italian hotel in a Hollywood movie. We loved the decor and felt taken back in time. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and for italian breakfast, there was a good selection. We could walk everywhere and loved all the restaurant recommendations we got from the hotel staff.

The staff is very polite and kind. Mr. Antionio helped us with everything we asked and gave us valuable suggestions that made our stay more pleasant. Also, another gentleman helped us on our last day. The girl serving the breakfast was also very attentive. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel was a 12-minute walk from the square
