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 StatesThis is a small hotel in an excellent location. My family had the two rooms on the top floor. The views were excellent. The rooms weren't fancy but they were very clean, recently renovated and comfortable. In fact the mattresses were very good and the rooms very quiet so we slept well. It didn't have the trappings of an expensive hotel, like room service or a concierge but we didn't need those services - we wanted a clean, comfortable hotel in a good location and that is what we got with Hotel Cardinal.

United KingdomThere is no onsite parking but the public car park is really close by. We loved the location but there can be some noise from the square below so this could be a problem if you need complete quiet to sleep. It didn’t bother us.
Amazing location and nice clean rooms, ours had a view of the cathedral and the light show on it. Friendly staff. We could walk into all the old streets and to the old market to find loads of great restaurants. All the family agreed that this would be a hotel we would stay at again.

United KingdomWould have been nice to have a kettle in the room. Although there are excellent cafes and restaurants adjacent, the hotel is essentially just a collection of bedrooms. One lady on reception
The location is wonderful, with views over the cathedral and a good car park nearby. Lovely big bath although it took hours to fill!

United StatesOnly a suggestion, but not a negative - it would be helpful to know just how to operate the shower as didn't do so correctly and on the last day, had difficulty with hot water. It was no fault of the hotel's. A quick lesson would be helpful.
We loved that Hotel Cardinal was in an excellent location - close to all the sites we had planned to visit. It was a bonus that there are 2 small restaurants with outside seating right outside the front entrance to the hotel. Our view of the cathedral was exceptional and we were in a suite with a nice sitting area and separate bedroom. Outside our windows were several decks with seating to enjoy the scenery and have a small meal. Very inviting hotel environment, with helpful staff. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Breakfast was plentiful with many options and excellent coffee and pastries.

United StatesIt was pretty hard and stressful to find in the car. You might want to call the hotel if you're driving and get their instructions and advice on where to park. Room was small, but clean and pretty well organized. There was some noise at night because of where we were, but that wasn't too bad. Overall, a very good stay.
Great location, very nice staff. This was sort of like a little penzione - only 15 rooms, and located on Cathedral Square. Room was fairly small, but functional.

United StatesRoom did not have the following: refrigerator, ability to make morning coffee, any type of fan or air circulation. To keep the room cool we had to keep windows open and this resulted in outside noise, especially in the morning when trash trucks came through the area.
Great location. Be warned that you cannot drive to the hotel as it sits in an area off the main streets. Best to find parking in the area and then walk. We used underground parking and the walk was about 8 minutes from car to hotel.
