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.).

New ZealandWiFi didn't work in our room (we were right down the end in room 223) Headboards/footboards made the bed far too short - I'm 172cm and I could feel the end of the bed. My husband at 193cm was very uncomfortable
Good location, clean room, powerful shower

United StatesSmelly toilet
Really nice staff, clean, nice lounge space and guest kitchen. Great location can walk to downtown, shops, tons of restaurants and grocers, on busy bus and tram lines. Only concern is bathroom smelled and there was a weird contraption next to toilet that looked like urinal/drinking water fountain which we stayed away from.

United StatesNo complaints. We got what we wanted, for a good price.
Casual upbeat atmosphere. Very clean. Easy to catch a bus anywhere, since the stop is right outside the door. I liked the front desk staff, who made us feel welcome the first day we got to town. And the elevator was great.

United KingdomThe toilet didn't flush when we arrived. Staff were told about this twice, no one had a look. So the private twin room we booked to save us sharing a bathroom didn't go to plan. Only fortunate thing was that there was a ladies washroom opposite our room which we then had to us for using the toilet
It was central

United Kingdomshower had too little dry space for clothes possibly due to malfunctioning shower head as it seemed to kick a lot of water into the area I expected to be dry. power socket by the window was pulling away from the wall and room was very hot. The area by the lockers seemed like a lot of wasted space
rooms well thought out . great that we could open windows. good number of powerpoints. location was fantastic and clean well thought out functional areas.

United KingdomOnly a little bit of noise from nearby dorm rooms with school trips, is expected in a hostel and wasn’t bad at all.
We had a triple room and it was brilliant, super large and with amazing pressure and temperature on the shower and separate toilet room. We had more than enough space for the two of us with lovely view. Very close to the tram stop too from the Airport.

BulgariaThe electrical plugs were strangely located. I didn't have one near my bed. But this is a minor inconvenience.
The place is very good. The room was big and had it's own private bathroom and toilet. We were given a room with a view to the street and on the third floor. It was nice and warm. The beds were comfortable. The whole room was very clean. In general the accomodations are not luxurious but are more than enough to make your stay absolutely comfortable. The best thing about this place is the location. Only 20 minutes from the old town, 100 meters from a Tram stop that will lead you to the airport or any part of the town. I would definitely recommend this place and will rebook it for my next visit in Edinburgh
