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.).

The Grand is so welcoming. Soon as you enter you are hit by its class. The whole hotel smells divine. It's so serene, calming the staff aren't running around they seem to be so calm and reassuring. When we checked out I had a few shopping bags so the receptionist very kindly placed them all into a beautiful Hotel bag and also offered us a few bottles if water as it was a hot day. Will be returning . Friendly staff, beautiful surrounding and a relaxing stay

Everything was simply wonderful, I genuinely don't have a bad word to say about our stay at this hotel! Brilliant, the breakfast, the staff, the rooms, the cleanliness, the attention to detail were all second to none! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, I couldn't have been more pleased or felt more safe at this hotel.

United KingdomWhen I was at breakfast, I had gotten up to get some fruit. On the table was my half eaten waffles, pastries and juice. When I got back after a minute or so everything had been cleared away. The staff should have checked that I was actually done or had left already before clearing my table. Luckily I wasn't planning to eat anymore of the food but still wanted my juice and cutlery. I had to get more juice and ask for a new set of cutlery. The waffles they make to order, so if I actually wanted to eat more of it, they would have either had to make it again meaning I would have had to wait 10 minutes or so or I just wouldn't have been able to eat it which would have been a shame as I specifically paid for breakfast. Would have scored the hotel a 9/10 but had to reduce a point for this.
The room, the staff, the facilities, the hotel building.

United KingdomThere is no parking. They do have a deal with a multi-storey carpark nearby, but if you arrive or leave by car getting stuff to and from a car is a hassle. Paying for parking on the street was a complete faff. The hotel should do something about that. It would put me off going again, which is a shame as it is an excellent hotel otherwise.
Great place. Friendly staff. Lovely place to be. The room I was in was great, it was very spacious. The view was decent. Penhaligon soap. The bar is nice.

United StatesDisappointing on-property restaurant. I wanted an “American-style” breakfast of scrambled eggs, fried bacon, and some form of potatoes. They had nothing even remotely like that.
Luxurious property - very comfortable, immaculately clean, fabulous location directly adjacent to Temple Square. Large number of restaurants and pubs within walking distance.

United KingdomBreakfast isn't worth the money, it was very bland and tasteless. We ordered room service - it was carried up on a tray, no trolley and the food wasn't even covered and had come up 3 floors so it was cold by the time it got to us and not very sanitary. We thought this was very poor. We also asked for more tea/coffee - when we answered the door to a member of staff she was just juggling it all in her hands (tea, coffee, sugar and bottles of water/milk) and had to pass it to me one by one as I put it in the room which just seemed very unprofessional. It could have been bought up on a tray or something to make things easier for us both.
Location was excellent, everything was in walking distance. The hotel was stunning, staff really friendly, we even got to check in early. We went in at 11:30am to drop our luggage off but they managed to check us in there and then.

United KingdomAlthough we arrived an hour later than check in, the room wasn't ready so the lady on reception gave us a voucher for a complimentary drink each (would have expected that for having to wait). Went to the bar downstairs who told me I could only have one drink even though it had been wrote on the voucher. I did argue and ask them to call reception and they then let me have the two complimentary drinks. It did take the edge off the whole experience, especially as we were only there for one night for our joint birthday and anniversary celebration.
The hotel is gorgeous and everything we wanted it to be. Facilities and rooms were fantastic.
