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.).

IrelandWifi dropped out a number of times and was a little slow. Not a big problem for us but might be for anyone needing to do a lot of work.
Superb location. Any amount of lovely cafes right outside the building. Our room on the first floor looked right onto the canal and bridge. The people watching opportunities were fabulous! Shower good and little kitchen really useful. Mattress comfortable and room really nicely decorated.

United KingdomThe lighting in the kitchen area. One light was out, but even with that it would have been stygian. We were not overly disturbed by people drinking at tables outside partly because they stopped after midnight and partly because it was rainy and most of the tables were closed. However, be aware that in summer or nice weather there are a lot of alfresco tables under the windows of the rooms that face the canal and it will be noisy. The shutters do not act as a soundproofer and there is no secondary glazing
The room set-up was lovely. 3 windows with shutters overlooking the canal. Comfortable seating. Facilities to make food and drinks. Convenient location. Able to lock up bicycles in view of the room.

BelarusThere were no pan, so frying something for breakfast was not possible. The room was a bit cold.
Great location in the city center. The room was clean and well-furnished. Absolutely awesome check-in and check-out process. It would be great to provide a kitchen towel at the beginning of a stay but anyway the staff is really attentive.

The property was comfortable, the kitchenette was very useful, and the location was excellent. I would stay here again without hesitation.

IsraelThe only thing that was challenging is climbing the steps to the third floor. Absence of lift in the 400 year old building is very authentic, but makes life a little difficult.
Wonderful location, you can't find a better one. You stay in the heart of the old city and enjoy the atmosphere of it.Very well designed loft in a historical building.Extremely friendly and helping staff.

ItalyRoom lighting could be better. Also, the windows need to be cleaned.
I was in room n.8 - Goethe mini apartment. The room is on two levels. Downstairs there is the bathroom and a small but effective kitchen, with induction stoves. Upstairs there is a carpeted bedroom with a queen size bed. The apartment is cosy and quiet. The location is perfect. The "staffless hotel" approach is convenient.

SpainIt took me a while to find how to turn on the heating. There is an on/off switch at the top of the touch screen control units (each room has a seperate control unit). I could not find the description in the room.
It is a staff free hotel. Nevertheless, it was very easy to get in the hotel and room. Upon check out there was one person in the lobby, so not completely staff less. Room no2, is a studio. sitting room, with small kitchen including basic pans/plates/cutlery and desk, a large bedroom and spacious bathroom. the studio is at the back of the building so no nice views but also no noice. Check out is at 12 (noon) which is appreciated. The hotel is in the middle of the city center. There are two underground parkings each only a 10 min walk from the hotel (16 Euro per 24 hour fee).

United StatesIt is not that I didn't like it and it wouldn't stop me from staying again, I was cold. The heater would not go up in the main room in the evening (the bathroom one was excellent). I looked for extra blankets and I was unable to locate them. An extra blanket would have been perfect. I didn't think to message the team, I am sure they could have accommodated had I thought in the moment to ask for one.
Exceptional stay! I will stay here again. The location is in the heart of the action and centrally located for fun events and activities. Food options are just a step away and shopping the same. I really enjoyed that there was a microwave, cooking top, and a few things like plates, glasses and silverware, and a fridge. Always beneficial.
