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):
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.).

AustraliaUnfortunately, our final day ended on an incredibly disappointing note. We were having our own breakfast in what is clearly marked as a communal area—a large space with empty tables on two levels. At approximately 7:30-8:00 AM, a staff member rudely instructed us to move to the beanbag area, where there was only a tiny coffee table. This was highly disrespectful and felt discriminatory, as we are paying guests of the hotel, and the space was for everyone, regardless of whether they purchased the breakfast buffet. Such unprofessional behavior is completely unacceptable and tainted an otherwise pleasant stay.
A review of Ibis Expo Bern: Great location, but a disappointing end to our stay. I recently stayed at the Ibis Expo Bern and was impressed by several aspects. The location is a major highlight, with the train station and other public transport conveniently located right next to the hotel. This made it incredibly easy to get around with luggage. The room itself was clean and spacious, and the concierge was consistently professional, kind, and friendly, providing a warm welcome. While the stay was mostly positive, I do believe some basic room amenities could be added to enhance the guest experience. A mini-bar fridge and a station with complimentary water, coffee, and tea in the room would be a welcomed improvement.

AustraliaSimple but sufficient breakfast if you’re not looking for a large variety. Rooms were large enough & comfortable bed. It’s on a transport line for bus & tram into the old town. Excellent staff at reception.

SingaporeThe room was clean and neat, staff were very friendly and accommodating, they even told us how to visit the National Equestrian Centre next door. There is a common area with water dispenser and microwave that can be used all day, though it's used for the breakfast buffet in the morning. Very easy to get to and from the city center via bus, and walking distance to a nice park.

MalaysiaWhen we reach the hotel, apparently the room assigned in booking.com was too small and there was an error in our booking. The staff told us that they also don't know why this can happen. Nevertheless, we got our room. Also, the toilet is very small and after bathing, you need to aerate it if not it will smell.
The hotel was very close to the tram station so it was very convenient to go to the city centre. It was also within walking distance of Migros so it was very easy for us to get groceries. There is also luggage storage services.

IrelandLacks character.
Clean and acceptable. The hotel is a regular IBIS and what you would expect. The room was clean so no complaints. No character but this is what IBIS provides. Although outside of central Bern, the tram is very regular and stops right at the hotel. So a really good location for visiting Bern. I felt it was expensive even in an expensive city such as Bern.
