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 KingdomRoom , phone operated door lock
Dispute being told , on enquiring our room would be wheelchair accessible, the property was not and no mention of this. We had to struggle getting my motorised chair up a steep set of steps to front door of hotel. We are elderly and found it a big struggle doing this once or twice a day. I would have thought it should have been pointed out. The facilities inside were ideal but phone operated door opening and closing a bit confusing and difficult to use.

RomaniaNobody from the cleaning team entered the room the whole week. The door keys (password and application) are most of the time annoying.
Great location - Haymarket Station allows all the trips around the city and the tram makes easy access to Pricess Street, or to the Airport. The room is decent with all the needed amenities. The two living rooms are great for having a cup of coffee or tea.

United KingdomLack of reception desk/staff. Locks linked to an email/app which is dependent on phone battery/internet connection strength. Room was overpriced for its very small size. Poor WiFi connectivity in the hotel.
The room was clean, free tea and coffee provided both in the room and in the communal areas. Hairdryer and iron available for use. Extremely convenient location for Haymarket train station and walking distance to Princes St.

United KingdomHaving to work out how to get into the hotel and the room via the internet, no staff on hand to help.
This was just a room, with no "meal deal". I thought it was self catering, and that I would have facilities in my room so I could cook, but all I had was a kettle and some cutlery. I did find an area elsewhere in the property which had a toaster, but couldn't find anything else. There are no staff at this hotel.
