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 KingdomLovely elegant rooms on the ground floor, very clean and comfortable with luxurious touches. Excellent location next to the river and Museum Gardens which gives it a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, but still within a short walk of the railway station and city centre attractions. Staff were very helpful.

United KingdomNothing really. No lift, but not a problem for us. Instructions from train station took us quite a long route - shorter options would have been better with small cases to trundle!
Staff very helpful with directions and recommendations. Quiet room on top floor looking towards gardens. Optional breakfast suited us. Everything needed was in the room. Luxurious towels, heated towel rail, coffee machine and other extras all added to make lovely two nights.

United StatesTemperature in the room was pretty cool. Again, no breakfast (although you could order it from off-site to be delivered).
Bed was comfortable and big. No breakfast, which was disappointing, but we knew that when we made the reservation. Walk to heart of town was easy, through the park. Quiet area, no interruptions to sleep.

United KingdomGreat location. Friendly staff. You have to complete a form by 8pm the previous night to indicate your breakfast choice. No hot cooked breakfast - apart from porridge. This is served in your room as there are no other dining facilities. I was offered one of their parking spaces for £15/night, but I had to pay cash by 6pm on the day of arrival - all a bit odd and inconvenient - who carries cash these day? My bedroom, at the front and opposite the park entrance, was spacious and quiet even with the windows open at night. I would stay there again.

United KingdomMini bar prices. These are ridiculously high and, I'm sure, dissuade many guests from purchasing items. In my view, reducing the prices by at least 30% would encourage more sales - nobody likes to feel they're being ripped off. It's a minor point and did not detract from a memorable trip for my wife and I.
The room was lovely, and the hotel is so conveniently placed for the city and its attractions. The walk through the museum gardens to the inner city is an absolute pleasure and delight.
