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.).

FinlandThe room had no soundproofing. We could hear everything from the hall and we woke up multiple times when other guests were leaving/entering their rooms. Our biggest issue was with the bathroom. There was no actual door but instead shutters. There were visible gaps and you could see into the bathroom no matter how well you tried to close the shutters. This also meant that you could hear absolutely everything. Additionally, you could see the bathroom lights very clearly from the room which was inconvenient at night as the bathroom was right next to the bed.
The location was excellent. Everything was very clean and the staff were lovely. Our request for a late check out was also approved quickly which we appreciated.

CanadaThe desk was supposed to be manned until 2:00 but we arrived at 12:00 and had to figure out how to open the main door. We had recieved an email explaining how to gain access if we arrived after that time so I had to dig it out and figure it out as I stood at the door. Mercifully it was not raining.
The room was very large, clean and the bed comfortable. It is a very high tech hotel with electronic locks which can open with a cell phone. Proximity to train station was good. We would definately stay again.

United KingdomNot much! Breakfast felt a little expensive - the only hot food available was one boiled egg. There are so many places to eat nearby I'd probably skip it if I stayed again. But that's a very minor quibble.
Fabulous location - five minutes' walk from the station, yet right on the edge of the historic centre too. Very good service - we arrived before 1200 and were still able to check-in. A lovely light and very clean room, with a balcony! Excellent bed, very comfortable. I'd say it's excellent value.

IrelandHotel reception is not 24/7 which is not really a problem in a very secure hotel but it did mean that we had to leave our bags in a locker in the train station on the last day. Not really an issue and it would not stop me staying at the hotel again
Spacious, spotless and very comfortable room. The location of the hotel is perfect for easy access to the train and bus stations as well as the city itself. Despite the wonderful location the room was very quiet with no disturbances from outside. The presence of a fridge and kettle is also important to me.

United KingdomInitially, I did not like the fact that the reception wasn't manned throughout the day and that entry to the hotel and my room was by keyless entry with a digital app. My phone signal wasn't great which made it slightly problematical to gain access to the hotel and room. But once set up all was straight forward.
The hotel is very clean and comfortable with a good shower and nice bed linen. The location is great with the train station and the beautiful historic town just a few minutes walk away. There are some good restaurants nearby. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel but enjoyed breakfast at some of the excellent local cafes.

TurkeyThe linens could have been cleaner, the room seemed a little dusty. I am sensitive to dust and was a bit bothered by it. (bathroom was clean)
The location was very nice. The room was comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive. The hotel was quiet and serene. They checked in before the stated check-in time (15.00), and it was very nice to be able to get into my room as soon as I arrived (around 14.00 - 14.30) on a stormy Leiden day.

Fantastic location just 10 minute walk from Leiden Central Station. Chose to stay here because I needed to catch a bus from the station at 07:30. Room was small but clean and had everything I needed: hairdryer; kettle; plenty of plug sockets. Staff weren’t there when I arrived (only work until 2pm) but sent clear instructions on how to access the hotel/my room.

AustraliaNo access to clothes Washer/Dryer facilities. Internet dropped out frequently and had to re-login each time you left and returned to the building- it would not auto-login by remembering the last login. The pub across the road is very noisy most nights we were there though. Sometimes noisy unit late hours eg 1-2 am
The location and large common lounge area for guests. Lifts were helpful to avoid carrying heavy luggage upstairs.

United StatesOur room was in the front making it a great people watching room, but also making it loud at night. The bathroom is a tight fit and plantation shutters as doors look cool, but do not offer much privacy. The shower is roomy, but the floors are slippery.
The location is close to Leiden Central train station, many restaurants and bars, and a bus stop making it super easy to explore Leiden. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions and needs. The bed was soft and comfortable. It also has an elevator!
