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 KingdomThere was a low generator noise that made it difficult to fall asleep. The noise of people walking up and down the corridors at night was distracting and some soundproofing would be advisable.
The location was excellent. The room and bed were comfortable. The breakfast was of a low standard but acceptable.

United KingdomAlthough I liked the minimalist room (no wardrobe, just hanging space), the primary colours were a bit jarring. The main reason for not giving a five-star review was the noise at night from other guests, shouting in the corridor and banging on my door. The first night (Thursday) was fine, but Friday and Saturday were really rowdy between 1am and 3am. I reported this on Saturday morning, and there was a suggestion to move me to another room, but by the evening the staff had no idea and said 'same room.' Again, there was lots of noise. I mentioned it on checking out Sundsy morning but the staff member didn't say anything.
Very convenient for Cardiff Central Station, and the immediate area is greatly improved since my last visit, with pedestrian concourse and shops, while still being at the junction of the main street for pubs and restaurants.

SwitzerlandSome facilities in the room are obviously worn out. The doors are not well protecting from the sound, so you can be awaken by your neighbours passing through the corridors. Plus periodical noise from the bathroom pipes when the residents of higher floors flush water.
Very nice location for the one day tourists. Just next to the station, close to the castle and to the Millennium Canter. The room was pretty spacious, with soundproof windows. A pot with tea and sugar was a great help-out in the morning.

United KingdomInterior of the room is little bit outdated but still cannot really fault it.
First, all the staff I met very so nice and helpful, like it felt genuine. Chatted a little bit with few of them too. Location is great as it's next to the train station. Front door is controlled so adds to safety. Small nice hotel, price was so low which was very nice suprise. Room was good, bed was nice and had everything you need. Definitely worth the money and more! Didn't have breakfast there so cannot comment on that.
