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 water did not run cold, no matter how long it ran for, it came out warm. Regardless of turning the tap to the cold position (or even trying the hot in case it was fixed the wrong way around). That wasn't pleasant for teeth brushing. The WiFi in my room did not work, even though I checked it with hotel reception and tried connecting whilst on the phone to them. I gave up.. wasn't too big a deal. The TV didn't work properly either. Kept turning on, then a few mins later, switching itself off. I couldn't be bothered to call someone to try and sort it out as I was only staying for one night on business.
Good location. Hotel accommodation was fine. Little bit dated but it was clean and tidy and very spacious (at least the room that I had).

Shower is ancient but hot ,room had fridge and microwave,great staff .its also very quiet. breakfast is very expensive if not included with your booking £25 but make sure it is as the continental breakfast is good and you can then add fry up for £5 if you want.

Location perfect. Staff were so friendly and helpful always smiling. Tea/coffee/biscuits replenished daily as were the toiletries . Good selection of items on the continental breakfast. Room spacious bed comfy.

FinlandWe were able to leave our luggage until 2 pm but I kinda got the feeling that if we had stayed until the evening it might not have been possible and I think it´s a must to be able to leave your luggage at the hotel until your return flight.
The location was very good and the room was spacious - bigger than rooms normally in London. Loved having a bathtub and we also had a kitchenette in our room.

United KingdomThe sofa in the room was very old and not so comfortable. There is no dining room in the hotel but I understand there is in their sister hotels in the same street. This was ok but next visit we will stay in one of these. The staff and location certainly made up for any little things we didn’t like.
Very helpful staff. Moved me to another room with a shower and a bath as the bath was too high for me to step into. Large airy room and kept clean. Comfortable bed. Nice area to visit and also near bus stops.

United KingdomNo air conditioning in the room, just a desk fan which didn’t really make any difference. The fridge in the room did not work. We had to go to the hotel next door to eat & then had to pay an additional £5 to have a full English breakfast.
