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.).

United KingdomThe pillows were a bit stiff. No coffee machine in the room a big disappointment, room service for pot of coffee would have included a 12 euro charge on top of the coffee. No full length or short mirror in the room at all. Room lighting needs fixing as it was impossible to have one bedside light on at a time or any of the other lights in the room under a different control-it was all lights on or nothing! Auto night lights were annoying as they can come on even if you turn over in bed! The staff were aware of these issues and looking to resolve them. The in room portable steamer, a very useful item, however it was a very poor model that was difficult to fill and only lasted (if you were lucky!) for one item. The hotel is looking to change these out as already had some complaints. Front access to the hotel not great whilst refurbishment going on but, apart from trying to find it, didn't really cause us a problem. Its a shame the great restaurant and bar still out of action.
We stayed in one of the recently refurbished rooms. The bathroom was exceptional in size and had great areas to place items. (sadly lacking in many other high end hotels). The bed was comfortable, room size good. Location excellent. Considering major refurbishment going on at the hotel there was not much noise or inconvienience. The staff very willing to help & please. Exceptional service from the front desk for booking a private boat tour ahead of our visit and car to take us to the airport and pick us up from a lunch restaurant. The included lounge access we had was enjoyed.

JapanThe cafe was closed because of renovation.
The atmosphere and service were luxurious and worthy of a first-class hotel. Very good location, close from the central station, middle of the city center. I arrived to the hotel at 6 am(because my flight from Tokyo arrived 4:00am!) and my room was perfectly ready. I was able to check in early at 6am with no additional charges! Spa was great too.

NetherlandsThe restaurant was a bit of a disappointment in terms of food (otherwise, great service and look). The food was cooked so slowly and was OK taste-wise, but we expected better based on our other experiences with the hotel.
We liked everything. Our room was cosy; it was the first time when I felt at home in a hotel. I tried SPA treatments, and they were on a good level, too. The staff was polite, friendly, and helpful. We came right after Christmas, and the hotel was beautifully decorated. So many things have been included, which is what to be expected from a 5-star hotel: shower cap, soft bath robes and slippers, bath salts, nice capsule coffee machine (we didn't use though). The breakfast was very nice with good selection and food quality. I particularly liked old-styled porridge with dry fruits (I didn't try such before, but I'm pretty sure it's how it tasted when the hotel was founded 137 years ago) and that tasty cappuccino was included into the price.
