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 reviewThe staff was friendly and all issues were resolved in a timely manner.The towels were snow-white. The disposable soap was very convenient. There was shower gel and shampoo in the shower. A kettle and coffee machine with a set of coffee, tea and milk were a wonderful addition to the room.
The room was superficially cleaned. There was hair from previous guests on the wall in the bathroom. There was trash on the floor near the bed and a cobweb on the bedside lamp. The bed was too small for 2 people. The doors of the room did not hide the noise at night. The room was very dark, even on a sunny day.
Dear Cristaltear, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found our staff friendly and responsive, and that you appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided in your room—from the fresh towels and toiletries to the coffee and tea setup. We’re truly sorry to learn that certain aspects of the room did not meet your expectations. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we regret that the room was not presented to the standard you—and we—expect. Your comments regarding the bathroom, lighting, and overall comfort have been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for immediate review and improvement. We value your insights, as they help us enhance the experience for all our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a more enjoyable stay. Warm regards, Mayfair Hotel

The room was filthy, the bed sheets were stained, there were hairs everywhere, the TV didn't work, the coffee machine was dusty, and the toilet was disgusting. When I went to the reception to complain, there was nobody there until the next morning. Never again!!
Dear Darren, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. While we’re pleased that you found the location convenient, we deeply regret the concerns you’ve raised regarding cleanliness and service. Please know that we take such matters very seriously. Our housekeeping team follows strict cleaning protocols, and stained linens or unclean facilities are not reflective of our usual standards. We sincerely apologize if your room was not presented properly and will be investigating this thoroughly with our staff. Regarding the TV and coffee machine, we wish we had been made aware during your stay so we could have resolved the issue immediately. We also regret that you were unable to reach reception upon arrival. Our team is available during designated hours, and we understand how frustrating it must have been not to find assistance when needed. We are reviewing our staffing procedures to ensure better coverage and responsiveness moving forward. Your feedback is invaluable, and while we regret that your visit was disappointing, we hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the standard of service we’re known for. Kind Regards, Mayfair Hotel

Dear Jane, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the room did not meet your expectations and that you felt the need to seek alternative accommodation. While we regret that you chose not to stay, we appreciate you taking the time to express your concerns. Our rooms are designed to reflect the character of the property and are accurately represented in our listings, including photos and descriptions. We understand that preferences vary, and what feels compact or traditional to one guest may not suit another. We do provide curtains for privacy, and while they may not be modern blinds, they are maintained regularly along with all furnishings. Had we been made aware of your discomfort at the time, we would have done our best to offer assistance or explore alternative options. We’re always happy to help when given the opportunity. We value all feedback, even when it’s critical, as it helps us improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future under different circumstances. Kind Regards, Mayfair Hotel

Took a £50 deposit and didn’t want to refund straight away on check out, 2 fans in room that didn’t work and covered in thick dust and window only opened about 1 cm so very hot in room and no air getting in.

Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — both the positives and the frustrations. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and found it convenient for exploring the town. That’s something we’re proud of, and it’s great to know it added value to your stay. However, we’re genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. Friendly, attentive service is something we strive for, and it’s disappointing to learn that our team didn’t meet that standard during your visit. Your comments about the bar atmosphere are noted, and we’ll be reviewing how staff engagement may be affecting guest experience in shared spaces. Regarding the deposit refund delay, we understand how frustrating that can be. We’ll be looking into our checkout procedures to ensure smoother and more timely transactions moving forward. The condition of the fans and the limited ventilation are also concerning. Cleanliness and comfort are non-negotiables, and we regret that your room didn’t reflect that. Your feedback has been passed along to our maintenance and housekeeping teams for immediate attention. We appreciate your honesty — it helps us improve. If you choose to return, we’d love the chance to offer you a better experience. Kind Regards, Lisa
