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.).

NigeriaRudeness of some staff. I was verbally told I would be refunded the cost of a day's accommodation following an incident where I was assigned a room that was not cleaned the previous occupant left and another incident of where I the tap in my room did not work and consequently I was not able to have my shower. The following morning when I was checking out, the manager denied that she did not agree to send me a refund. This was very shocking.
Some staffs were really rude but generally ok.

United KingdomIn our group we had booked the same room a premium room but our room was so different, basically our room would have fitted in their bathroom, also we could not fit in the shower as it was a small cubicle size with a louvered door. It was very noisy and it only got quiet after 3am with people and children running around and shouting.We have paid the same elsewhere and had a lot better There was little information in the room about the facilities or restaurant. I loved the fact there was a meal that the Chef could make up freshly and separately for me as i unable to have buffet food for medical reasons, Compliments to the Chef as this was Greatly appreciated and was very nice indeed. It was hit and miss with the staff sone were very nice and helpful and some behaved like they didnt want to be there and you were inconveniencing them. I doubt we will be returning in the near future.
Loved the architecture of the building and liked seeing that they were trying to make the hotel better. The view from our room and the restaurant were exceptional.

United KingdomI didn’t like the fact I got to my room and it was the size of a cupboard, the door kept creaking and banging when people walked past, we were happy there was a bath in the room until we seen all the rust around the jets and the edges of the seals, it also had what I describe as pubic hair in the bath which I had to clean out myself.
I like the location of the property pretty much right on the beach front

When we asked the following day about the parking the receptionist was very rude . Also , despite notices up asking people not to sit on the steps smoking at the front , there were lots of people sat blocking the entrance , one elderly lady had to walk to the far side to get in . Also no cleaners in the room , 2 night stay so no clean towels or replacement of tea and coffee .
