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.).

Breakfast is amazing. Location is unfortunate, but I believe the tower was built before the surrounding area. The bar on the 11th floor was a little expensive, but the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were lovely.

United KingdomAmazing conversion of the tower. Lovely room on the 10th floor overlooking the city. Air con was not working but an engineer arrived quickly and managed to sort out the issue. The breakfasts were amazing with individual meals cooked to order. The apple crumble French toast was a favourite. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Certainly worth seeking this hotel out.

United StatesImmediate neighborhood made walking downtown unpleasant. Room felt small for the price. Breakfast was very expensive…many options at the buffet, but one can only eat so much!!
Unique building and renovation, with clean and stylish decor. The structure alone will make this a memorable stay.

United KingdomThere was an event on in the bar on one of the nights and the music was unnecessarily loud and traveled down to the rooms below. One of the lifts was out of service so sometimes had to wait to reach the room.
Beautiful hotel, very clean, nice extra touches like bottles water and an Easter biscuit. Everything we needed in the room. Friendly check in. Extra comfortable bed and great shower. Really interesting building and different/special place to stay.

CroatiaThe interior of the hotel looks a little dated and worn. We both thought it was time for a redo.
We found our initial suite on the second floor dark - few windows and not enough lighting. So, we upgraded to a suite on the 10th floor, which was far better with windows. The hotel is well located - not in the middle of the absolute core, so less noisy, but within walking distance of everything we were interested in. The staff were very helpful. We would come again.

United KingdomOur suite room was lovely but the odd few marks on walls etc which needed a tiny bit of tlc meant it wasn't as perfect as it could have easily been. Would prefer a door between living space and bedroom so the two rooms could be used with greater independence - e.g. watching the TV if someone is sleeping.
Amazing building, very well converted and totally unique. Rooftop bar and terrace also a lovely place to spend some time (view as per pic). Location a 15 min walk to city centre so a pretty good compromise.

The building is beautiful and the rooms are large, clean and comfortable with gorgeous views of the city. We stayed only one night, but because of the central location, we managed to see the cathedral, the river, some shopping etc. I would stay here again.
