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.).

GermanyUnfortunately the staff caused me quite some trouble. The payment terminal didn’t produce a receipt when I paid, I showed the staff, that the payment went through on my online banking. But they staff said, that no receipt means no payment. They insinuated that maybe my card has no balance left, which wasn’t true. Plus I don’t realise they understood how unprofessional that statement was. I asked them to check with their bank, but they would refuse to do so. So the next day I paid cash at an awful exchange rate. Only to find out days later, that indeed I paid twice.. after all this ordeal, I got my money back in Luang Prabang.. if they would have listened to me, the issue would have been solved directly
The location is quite good, the room is big enough.

AustraliaThe room wasn't what it looked like in the photos. It's much older and more rundown. The water in the shower didn't drain well and there was a bad smell. The door and lock didn't feel very secure. We were only there for a short stay so it was fine and we just put up with it, but I wouldn't stay again unless they update their facilities.
Good location, spacious room and the staff were nice.

Singapore-
Excellent service from Lixay! (I hope I spelt his name correctly) I stayed here on my first night in Vientiane & it was such good value I came back again for my last night before flying out. The rooms are impeccably clean. On my first night, I stayed at the room beside the road. There can be some noise from traffic at night. On my last night, I requested for a room on the inside & it's quiet. However the airconditioning had some issues and didn't cool the room. Lixay was really helpful to explore options to mitigate the problem and I was satisfied with how the issue was resolved. Throughout the process, he remained calm. His keen customer service and great display of empathy helped to turn the situation around. Highly recommend to stay here if you get a room! Plenty of food options in the area.

ChinaIt was tucked away down a quiet side street, which meant the view from our balcony wasn’t anything to write home about - but that’s the downsides of a city centre location. Other than that it was all excellent.
Our room was beautiful and really spacious. Very comfortable bed. The hotel was well decorated and maintained throughout and staff at front desk were helpful. Breakfast was delicious, and vegetarian options were available, but slightly less choice for vegans as most dishes included eggs. But plenty of fruit and toast. Location was central for getting to most places in the town.

AustriaHotel staff was very nice. The room service was so sweet: We booked a room with 2 single beds, as nothing else was available. We did push together the beds and after the room service were in the room they prepared the beds like a double bed for is - we didn't say anything, they did it on their own, which ia very thoughtful of them. :) The breakfast was good, they even had Nutella. ;)
