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 KingdomHot chocolate in rooms would have been fab for rooms with children staying.
The staff were fabulous. Kind, helpful, super caring with my little boy (7). Also accommodating when I had fallen over in the street, giving me ice and making sure I was OK. I last stayed in a Novotel 20 years ago (hotels are infrequent!), and this lived up to my memories. Cleanliness is most important and nothing was awry. Breakfast was fabulous too.

United KingdomCar park was rammed, no space at all. Told to go down the road and spend more on a less secure car park. Dated room with lots of artex and a separate toilet with a heavy , chain-pull door caused the kids issues.
Central location and walking distance to all booked events. Staff were good.

United KingdomBar seemed under staffed as there were queues when the nearby concert many of us attended ended - and the way the Guinness was poured wasn't great. Had to take 2 pints back. Bedroom was very warm, and hard to cool down - which impacted the comfort score.
Room was clean, and the breakfast was good. Staff were really friendly.

United KingdomOne aspect I didn't particularly like was that parking at the Novotel Birmingham Centre incurred additional charges. It would have been more convenient if parking was included or offered at a discounted rate for guests.
Novotel Birmingham Centre was fantastic. The central location, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms made for a great stay. Highly recommend for a convenient and enjoyable experience in Birmingham!

United KingdomThe lavatory was separate and tucked away in the corner on it's own. From a purely personal point of view it would have been more convenient for middle of the night visits if it had been in the bathroom. There was a slope across the bed! The very good breakfast was spoiled by overcooked, hard bacon.
Clean well presented hotel and room. We were given a free upgrade for our room which was a nice surprise. Staff were very pleasant and room was spacious and comfortable. The shower was excellent.
