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 StatesI loved my stay in Nairobi. The staff at Palacina made Kenya extra special. It made me feel like I had friends or family and even though remaining impeccably professional. The staff are led by awesome management. It is a positive, exceptional environment

United Kingdomhair dryer was only lukewarm. Duvet is inappropriately heavy for the season - we would have preferred sheets and a blanket rather than the duvet. We took the duvet cover off in order to have a light sheet over us. Lighting is ok but most bulbs are blue light rather than warm - it would be a lot nicer with the latter.
Peaceful, green, quiet.A welcome refuge from the bustle of the CBD. Lovely gardens and veranda. Three tortoises and a nice cat belong to the hotel, and a pair of hornbills came into the garden every day. We enjoyed sipping a glass of wine in the evening on the veranda, even when it was raining - very romantic.

CanadaEverything was great. The last time I was at palacina they had a Swedish beef dish….. I was looking forward to having it again. The menu has changed. Menu is great …. But I’m still dreaming about that beef dish.
We were there to visit friends and be in this area. It was perfect for what we wanted. I’ve been to palacina before, it is a great place. We had a studio full kitchen. We do not want ac. I find if you have AC then it is very hard to go outside into the heat. Palacina also will arrange a driver and private tour to anywhere you want to go.

United KingdomThe hotel was hosting a large group of people, it looked like they were there to attend some sort of conference. The group were very noisy and the noise levels were unacceptable at 3.30am to 5.00am in the morning. We were unable to sleep as the rooms dont have any sound proofing.
The staff are really friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to an amazing room and the food in the restaurant is delicious. The indoor pool was a pleasure to use and we really enjoyed the facilities. We had paid extra to keep the room for a late checkout and our flight was delayed, the hotel let us stay longer, which was really nice. Thank you for your hospitality.

It is a perfect getaway but on the city with such a calming and beautiful atmosphere to work, relax and just enjoy nature.
