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 KingdomChoices for breakfast were limited (for example, no fruit on option) and the format confusing. It would help if a buffet were available in addition to the made up hamper.

United KingdomThe bed was very small, and the walls were paper thin. We could hear our neighbours all night. The room was very warm, no air conditioning or fan, and the shower leaked / dripped for most of the night on and off. For almost £300 / night, it wasn’t up to the standard we’d expect.
Fantastic location. Walking distance to everything you need. (Awesome coffee shop just a few doors down!)

United StatesThe street noise in the room was the only negative about our stay. The pedestrians kept us awake until midnight and then the goods trucks, or whatever they were, started arriving outside our window at 6:30 am. The old windows have no sound protection.
Room was nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. Location was great for shops, restaurants and sightseeing.

United StatesMy bedroom was a top floor walk up. I would have preferred less stairs. My room had a desk to work at but no desk chair. I had to move the bench at the end of the bed over to the desk in order to get some work done.
Very nicely fitted out. Attractive rooms and public spaces. Nice staff.

United KingdomPoor choice of generic hotel furniture and fittings and a gigantic television undermined the potential beauty of the architecture. No fridge or mini-bar - not even a water glass ('there are no glasses in the building - you can drink water from the bottles', was the bizarre answer when we asked for water glasses.) Nor bar or breakfast.
Beautiful period building in a perfect location in the centre of town. Great view from the bedroom. It could be a stunning place if it were decorated with sensitivity...

United KingdomIt was more of a room in a building than a hotel - the room we were in had its own entrance. It was friendly enough and nicely decorated but felt a bit disconnected from a hotel experience.

United KingdomDecor - why oh why do modern hotel designers choose such dark and dreary colours in a lovely old building? Lighting - far too dim, especially bedside lights. Very helpful staff got us another, brighter light. Bathroom - splendidly roomy, and excellent modern walk-in shower, but why not a non-slip tray or a non-slip mat? Again why do so many modernised hotel bathrooms have so little shelf space for sponge bags and toiletries. There was oodles of space for a really good shelf. The water in the shower was only just warm enough. Also, why provide a lovely modern coffee machine and pods, but mugs that were too big to use? Again staff were wonderfully helpful in providing right sized cups. Continental breakfast - for the price should have had decent muesli and granola - not small boxed packets of cornflakes. The management of this hotel need to be more concerned with these finer details if they are to justify their premium pricing. The staff need better support.
Location brilliant for exploring Oxford - very central and very quiet in an attractive street. Staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
