How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI had an amazing experience at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal. The property is absolutely stunning, with its grand architecture, lush gardens, and breathtaking views of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The pool area is one of the best I’ve seen—spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for relaxing. The rooms are elegant, well-maintained, and offer a real sense of luxury and comfort. Dining options are excellent, with a wide variety of cuisines and top-quality service. I especially loved the attention to detail and the warm hospitality from the staff—they went out of their way to make the stay memorable. The location is ideal as well, just minutes away from the Grand Mosque, yet still offering a peaceful and resort-like atmosphere. Overall, it’s the perfect mix of relaxation, luxury, and exceptional service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi, whether for leisure or a special occasion

Verified reviewI stayed for 2 days at the Ritz Carlton in August. Great service and very well equipped hotel. Good service from check in, as well as the doormen / security when we first came in. When we were leaving, who reminded us of everything and made sure our car was ready for a quick departure. And all staff who provided great service everyday with the welcoming and valeting service
Nothing to say.

Verified reviewMy stay at The Ritz-Carlton was absolutely outstanding. It was a truly remarkable and luxurious experience to the highest standards. The services provided were exceptional, and the warm, professional attitude of the entire team made my stay unforgettable. I would especially like to recognize Selvia, Angela, Hamdy, John, and Shamir, along with all the reception and housekeeping staff. Their dedication and hospitality were among the main reasons that turned my stay into such a special and memorable experience. Thank you, Ritz-Carlton, for delivering a world-class level of comfort and service. I look forward to coming back again.
The breakfast buffet service could be improved. At times, the service was a bit slow, and I occasionally had to repeat my request to more than one staff member before it was delivered. I do understand they were busy and under pressure, but I believe a little more attention in this area would make the experience even better.
