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 KingdomEverything was great. Lovely pool with sufficient loungers. Staff exceptionally helpful and polite. Room very comfortable with excellent air con considering outside temperature was 110. Supplied take out breakfast for early Angkor wat start. Breakfast had lots of variety although bread in Cambodia is generally poor everywhere. Display showed lots of bread variety but reality was boring.

I'm not sure what we expected with this hotel but we were blown away, it was the most stunning hotel and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and our room was no exception, we had a room overlooking the pool with a balcony and it was great. The bed was so comfortable and the room was spacious The swimming pool was so inviting and relaxing and the pool staff were great We didn't have breakfast included but did try it once, it was a bit pricey but they did have a fair bit of options, but we found eating out and about was easy for us as we were always out doing something The cocktails were delicious and so was the pool side food we got. We also had a massage in the resort which was also amazing and relaxing and we had such a relaxing time The hotel was in a good location and the sky bar was cute overlooking the palace, tuk tuks were easy to get outside the hotel, we used grab mostly We also hired a driver and guide from the hotel to take us around who were fantastic and the resort car they use was very comfortable and the driver always had water and cool towels for us

AustraliaOur checkin was confusing. We had to pay full fee upfront and a large amount deposit. My partner thought it maybe because we walked in with backpacks and after a bus trip. Room’s view was a little disappointing. We asked to shorten our stay to 2 nights with a refund for the 3rd and 4th night stay. Was told we had to organise that with booking.com!
Great older style building with tasteful furnishings.

This hotel is an oasis of calm in a busy city. The facilities are great especially the beautiful pool atea. The staff are so attentive and really are eager to help with any requests. The food is of a consistently high standard. If you stay here visit the organic sky bar overlooking the Royal Palace, great views and yummy cocktails. Highly recomended for holidays and staycations.

ThailandOur double bedroom was comfy and you couldn't fault the size, cleanliness or comfort of the bed or the view. It has everything we needed in it including a nice sofa and small window seat. My only criticism (and I am being picky ) was the bathroom was a bit busy with no surface left to put anything on. The kids room on the ground floor kept getting a slight whiff of smoke which was odd for a non smoking room. Not really a lot to complain about though.
This is a well kept hotel in a lovely setting - a real oasis in a busy place. The hotel pool is a gorgeous place to relax after some morning site seeing and the food in all the restaurants was really exceptional. The Sangria was really good too! I thought the breakfast was good, although my husband, not so much, but they had enough variety to please everyone and the setting is lovely. The Sky bar is a great place to unwind after and evening out or for some food if you have had a really hectic day. We found the staff to be really helpful and friendly from the maid to the bar tender to the reception staff, a really smiley team. Husband was happy with the gym (but some spray and tissues to wipe machines down would be good)

RussiaDear Sirs, we would like to thank Mr.Ratana who helped us during our stay at your hotel on 29-31 March 2024. Mr. Ratana was extremely professional and helpful He and his colleagues helped us with an early echk-in, arranged a beautiful decoration of our room and made our staying at your hotel unforgettable. We will definitely come back. The location of the hotel is fantastic, easy to walk to many places with a child in a stroller. Breakfasts were extremely good. A few decent restaurants (i.e. Malevich) just across the road. Fruits market is 10 minutes walk. We wish your business all success and prosperity. Best wishes, Vera

We loved everything about this hotel. The staff were enthusiastic and very eager to please. The food was excellent and the pool and surrounding gardens were a welcome relief from the busyness of PP. The location was excellent, opposite the Grand Palace. We enjoyed the rooftop bar too! Would highly recommend this hotel!

United KingdomThere really was nothing I didn't like
The location for my needs on a charity mission to a clinic was perfect. The staff could not do enough for you. I only had one evening meal in the hotel restaurant but it was delicious and did not cost very much at all. The room was very comfortable. The price was also very reasonable for the suite I had. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Palace Gate for a wonderful stay.

I had tapas in the sky bar which was great & happy hour cocktails by the pool, very enjoyable .The staff were so friendly and helpful. Their lobby area is very comfy and I sat there for a good while before heading to the airport after generous checkout time of 12pm.

United KingdomThis hotel is very comfortable and perfectly located but could do with renovation. The rooms and reception areas are very dated. The pool is very busy indeed and most of it is in the shade.
The hotel was very comfortable but we did have to sort out a better room on arrival. There was noise and building work next door so it would have been noisy in the evening. The staff were very helpful and sorted out a quiet room for us. The swimming pool and dining area is very attractive. The location is very good and it’s to get a Tuk Tuk outside for day tours or local trips. You can walk to the seafront and Palace.
