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.).

United StatesLack of elevator was a bit challenging, the shower door was a bit short so the bath mat was wet by the time I finished. The shower had some mold growing in the cracks at the bottom of the shower, but overall looked clean.
The location was great! Close to the city center and shopping. The room was quiet and for the most part clean. Bed was okay, the towel warmer was a definite plus!

United StatesThe building is old and there are many staircases and doors to open to get to/from room. With luggage this was a bit difficult, but we managed easily due to our age and size of bags. I do believe there is a lift, but we didn't use. Might take this into consideration if someone has limited mobility.
Location was great - it was easy to walk anywhere in Stirling from this hotel! Staff was very friendly and we got in early to our room. Breakfast in the morning was good and they even stored our bags for us on the day of check-out since we had more to explore that day.

United StatesParking was difficult and costly. It would have been very nice to have had a voucher…. Or, to be informed in advance so we would have some options. The hotel was “Older” and could have used a bit of a face lift; but, that’s what to expect in Europe.
Location - I loved being right in the small town. Everything within walking distance. All the help were outstanding! Breakfast - Dining room seating with service was very nice. Breakfast was made to order. Very nice.

United StatesBooking should have told us to NOT lug our bags down to reception. We had to then go back up several flights of stairs to our room. Breakfast was not great. Sent the porridge back. It was cold and didn't taste good. Noise from people hanging around restaurant across the street was unexpected. Bed was not very comfortable.
Car park out back was convenient, even if we had to pay. Staff was kind.

CanadaThe lift is broken and apparently has been for a long time. It is not mentioned anywhere that you will have to climb several levels of stairs to get to your room. We were on the top floor and it was very difficult with our luggage. I imagine that many seniors would not make it and feel it should have been made known on the booking so people have the option of booking a lower floor if they feel thay cannot make the hike.
Amazing location, which is why we booked here. Included breakfast was excellent!
