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.).

PortugalI have stayed at the Lighthouse in the past and I usually got better rooms (this one was a corner room with the bathroom right in front of the bed and with a glass door).
The location (even with all the construction works around it) is amazing. It's near the beach, near Carmel Market, and near a lot of amazing restaurants and bars.

United KingdomUnder-staffed reception at certain times. Took me 15 minutes to be served. Car park payment routine is unwieldy. Payment for guests is made at the hotel reception rather than at the car park. On both occasions the ticket didn't work on exit. The bathroom lighting is bad. You need a torch it's so dark!
Good quality free toiletries in the bathroom. TV had a wide selection of channels. Car park adjacent to the hotel.

United KingdomThe building works on Ben Yehuda and Allenby means taxis etc. can’t get too close so something to consider with luggage. The hotel is also unfinished on many levels so it feels a bit chaotic. My bathroom floor was sticky and there were flies on arrival and no one noticed until I pointed it out.
Location is great and very central. Staff were amazing and let me check in early and late. Security is excellent.

FranceThere was an alarm in the middle of the night (issue with hydro in the neighbourhood) and then, regularly (every 10 minutes) my TV would start and I could not sleep. A manager promised me to reimburse one night and so far nothing. I am waiting for it....
Breakfast was good but a bit repetitive, room was comfortable and location just fine.

United StatesThe only downside is the cleanliness. I had some stains on the floor and small trash behind the curtains, which a cleaning lady removed after I pointed them out. However, small details like light switches and the remote need more attention from the cleaning staff. My room and the floor I was on needed small renovations here and there, but when I was leaving, I saw some upgrades. My safe didn't work, but that wasn't a big issue for me. Overall, there are no major issues, and if you need help, the staff is there to fix things.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The breakfast is phenomenal, and the choice and variety are endless. I stayed for a week and never got tired of the breakfast, and I tried something new every day. The location is fantastic: 3 minutes from the beach and many restaurants and shops. Many bus routes are nearby and can take you anywhere in Tel Aviv—10 min Dizengoff Square. The bed and pillows are incredibly comfortable. The TV has a great variety of channels and a YouTube app. The shower is good! The AC works great. I wish it had a sleep mode because the low mode is way too strong, and I wasn't able to set a desirable temperature during the night. The staff is friendly and nice. Also, the price was great when I booked, so the value for the money was excellent. I definitely would stay again if I had the opportunity.

IsraelSome parts are dilapidated, for example the gym is quite well equipped but a bit depressing and hard to find. Also there was a broken light fixture hanging in one of the gym rooms. There's an amazing rooftop bar but the receptionist didn't know much about and didn't promote it. We discovered it by chance, what a shame, you guys could have some cooperation with them and do offers and events. One of the elevators' video and music wasn't working properly, otherwise it's a super fun feature. Check-in could be quicker.
Nice concept, good room design and size, amazing breakfast, plants in breakfast room. Nice touch with cava upon arrival even though the receptionist didn't actively offer it to us haha.

IsraelThe hotel was in an old building and a few parts of the building were actually abandoned. The hotel has a dark gothic artsy theme that for some people could be unwelcoming. Activities in the hotel are no longer available such as the jacuzzi on the balcony.
The food was great, the staff was very nice and the beds were comfortable. Also we received a nice sea view room. The massage we received at the spa was also very good. There were plenty of businesses and restaurants around the hotel and the location was close to the beach. The entire hotel has a specific theme and style.

NetherlandsThe jacuzzi on the 5th floor wasn't working... The cafe on the terrace was also closed. That was a bummer since the hotel advertised the jacuzzi, sauna and cafe. Sauna was supposed to be included in the stay according to the room description and information leaflet in the room. Turned out you needed to book a 'treatment' in order to get access to the sauna.. It was most likely already full for that day I was told upon arrival at the check-in.. After a long search (I had to ask multiple staff) I located the small gym downstairs which I could use instead.
Great location, nice clean room and surprisingly good breakfast!

SwitzerlandIt needs a bit of love. Water leaking from condensing units all over, not well kept up and half that disco escalator is broken. The staff doesn’t seem engaged, especially the manager who just expects the one woman to do everything herself. Cafe staff is more animated.
Right out of a sci-fi movie where a 1980’s Mall Escalator with Hollywood lights dead ends into a baby grand piano in the gym/bomb shelter. The location and views are nice, and yes, the drone attack from Yemen did explode 100m down the street and everything was fine. Good bones.
