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.).

GreeceNo lift. The room was quite simple and narrow. Also, I found it expensive for what it offers.
The location is fine, near the city center and public means of transport. We walked from the train station, it's a 15 minute walk. Our room was clean, as were the other places that we accessed. Heating was adequate, we had a nice sleep. The area is very quiet.

IrelandThis venue does not have a lift and the rooms are on three upper stories. I was on the top floor which required climbing 75 steps. I am fit and had just a weekend bag, but people with mobility/strength issues might find it difficult.
Central location. This is a budget hotel, clean,safe,central,comfortable. It has a self check-in and check-out system, so I did not encounter any staff. Shower was strong and hot. Black out curtains ensured good sleep.

This booking was a last minute one, and it was great for the random choice! The close location to the main city center and clean room was worthwhile.

HungaryThe room was quite cold and heating didn't really worked. Other than that the room is super basic which is fine, but some interior design/decoration could lift up the place. Otherwise can't complain, fair room for a locally fair price.
It's a basic and simple but fine accomodation in Köln. The location is okay, shop in 5 mins, the Dom is a ~15 mins walk. The room is very basic but has bed, chair and table. The bathroom is clean and ok, all worked well. WiFi is good. Self check-in. Daily cleaning.

The hotel has a car parking just next to it. However, there are only 3 spots, so you need to reserve one. After your stay, you can extend your parking online at a reasonable price.

FinlandToo many stairs since we were in the fourth floor. There's no air conditioning so I suppose it must be quite warm in hot days. The bathroom was cramped, there was barely any room to move. No place to leave luggage. Even if it was no problem for us at all, some people wouldn't like to have absolutely no contact with the owner.
Since it was a room for three people it was not that cramped. It was at a sensible walking distance from anything you want to see downtown.

IndiaI had requested a late check-out (original chek-out time in booking and property door says 10AM). I received a reply saying I may be in the room until 9AM. There was no sorry or explanation for the changed check-out time. I was wondering if this was a typo so I wrote back that I will check-out as per the original check- out time of 10AM. There was no reply. I had to change my morning plans due to this change. The nice stay ended with a bitterness which I believe could be avoided by clear communication. The main issue is the property does not have a reception now so you don't have anyone around for such questions. There is some space near the door and I think, they can manage to have a smaller reception.
I liked the location. It is at a walking distance from the city center, station and the river front. The room was clean, well lit and had a balcony as well.
