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.).

Beirut is is n the mist of the on going problems in Israel and Palestine, as a result not may visitors about. This is great pity, this city is a mix or religion politics and disturbed architecture. The public realm streetscapes are unkept and a reflection of an misfunctioning government. Between the out of scale high rise and broken pavements you can find oasis like the Arthaus: An old merchant villa a reflection of a time when Beirut had status on the Mediterranean. A lot of through has gone in to the Interior Design of the Building. It manages to create joy, with out undermining the existing villa scale and detail. Well-done to all involved. It was a joy to stay there. Beirut I really feel your pain. I will however return again. And the Althaus will be the first on my list. Stay Safe Tom E Ireland

OmanI had an exceptional stay at Arthaus Beirut. It felt like I was living in a restored Lebanese home, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The place was clean, and the staff were friendly. The best part was that they served breakfast anywhere you wanted, whether in your room, the garden outside, or at the dining table on the first floor. When I asked to move to a larger room, they pleasantly accommodated my request. Check-in and check-out were quick and smooth. They can help you order the Allo Taxi service to get around Beirut, although I found it easier to download the app and handle all taxi bookings myself. The location is excellent, situated in a vibrant yet quiet part of the city on El Gemmayzah Street, with many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. I didn't need a taxi on my first day in Beirut, so I walked on foot since most sightseeing was within walking distance. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Beirut.

SwitzerlandI took a hotel-provided taxi from the hotel to get to the airport and did not like the ride. For $33 I would have expected a better car and better driver (this one felt unsafe). I would recommend the hotel choose another option for their guests.
I had a great stay at Arthaus Beirut. The staff was very competent and made me feel welcome at all times. I liked the fact that they were reachable via whatsapp. I stayed in the Hanna Suite which is a duplex. The second floor has the toilet, closets and a shower that also does Sauna and Hammam! The hotel is beautiful marrying traditional stone buildings with contemporary pieces. Breakfast was included in my room and was excellent and very copious. The restaurant was great and had a nice selection to choose from. No Lebanese food on the menu (except breakfast) but many places to choose from 2 minutes away from the hotel for Lebanese.

United Arab Emirates- The impossibility to have a drink past midnight is a bummer. - My reservation mentioned very clearly room with terrace, although the room I was given on site was lovely but there was no terrace which also might maybe have been good for that late night drink with room service order possibly. - A small reception can be easily set in line with the interiors and would add a lot to both the overall image and convenience instead of having the team randomly sit by the bar. - I am not sure if there is a menu for the bar and restaurant however I was never offered a menu to check although the couple times I was ordering I was asking what is there, they were only trying to explain to me one or two items or wondering and waiting for me to order something high specific. I want to order food and/ or drinks I expect a menu to be presented to me and the explanation to be taking me through the menu. - Not sure if this is a permanent installation, the white metal structure in the middle of the entrance doesn’t really blend nor add anything neither practically or aesthetically. Moreover it block the beautiful arches and bar sight and is very cumbersome for the mobility flow
Boutique hotel with character, excellent location, superb interiors, impeccable housekeeping, attentive and hospitable team…

United Arab EmiratesThe F&B experience wasn’t matching with the expectations we had. I have pointed out an incident to the restaurant supervisor, who listened carefully to our concerns. But feels pity that some junior team members, untrained, unpleasant that could impact negatively the overall efforts of the owners to create something unique and special. I believe the place and vision are great, but the selection of some people was not fortunate enough…
Beautiful old house in the heart of Gemayzeh, centrally located and giving you nostalgic, authentic and cozy vibes. We were welcomed by a pleasant lady called Sabine who explained the details of our stay and was very hospitable. Room is comfortable and properly equipped and well maintained.

United KingdomThis is one of an increasingly rare gem of traditional buildings to be found in Beirut. It has been beautifully and sympathetically restored for the 21st century to an extremely high standard. Each room is decorated differently, with lovely pieces of art. Other artworks are on display throughout the hotel, with an art gallery on site across the courtyard. We were in the older part of the building, which has high ceilings and windows and a beautiful marble staircase. The standard of cleanliness was exceptional. The staff were constantly dusting furniture and sweeping micro particles from the floors of the communal areas. Our room was spotlessly clean and the daily service maintained the high standards that are obviously expected. We found all the staff to be friendly, helpful and genuinely pleased to be working there. The food was of a high standard too, with plenty of choice for all meals, if you didn’t want to go out. The location was perfect for us as well and the area has many small art gallery shops. It is on a small side street and signage to it could be a bit more noticeable, but perhaps that is deliberate?

TurkeyExceptional experience, the king suite was amazing. The room has a great design, the walls, the bed and the furniture, the steam room and others were just more than what you can find somewhere else. There were two AC's that worked fine which I think is very important in a warm climate. The art around the hotel was exciting and the menu in the hotel was satisfactory with amazing breakfast. The staff were really helpful with any topic and you can find someone to help you 24/7 which is very important for myself. Thanks to everyone involved.
