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 reviewWe had free parking in the Hotel's parking lot.
We didn't end up staying because our key didn't work. That was after about 45 minutes of waiting in the hot lobby for the elevator to work! The bathroom in the lobby was dirty and the lights in the hallway blew out while we were trying to open the door of our room. We got our money returned and left.

Verified reviewJust location
The service is very bad. The hotel is old and unclean. Most of the employees are elderly. The breakfast is bad. No one smiles at you. They make you feel unwanted. The rooms are unclean and old. We paid a large sum for this poor hotel, unfortunately

Verified reviewHorrible place, can’t even call it a hotel. A hostel looks better than this place. No AC, elevators not working (which is the worst! Try getting to the 23rd floor with only one elevators working for the entire building), no shade in the pool, breakfast is bad, smells like cigarets in the hallways

Verified reviewAfter a very long debate they return the money I have not stayed!
Room horrible, smells so heavily perfumed and awful! Bathroom awful, water from shower head was broken. The water was not going from the tub, everywhere got flooded after shower. Breakfast awful, drinking coffee from a paper cup, there is only one person to clean the tables after a guest finishes the breakfast, therefore either you have to clean the table yourself or you have to wait to seat for a very looongg time. No one cleaned the room or fixed the bathroom during our stay because of Shabbat! No notification written here or given me that during Shabbat no service will be given!!! In addition elevator broke down during Shabbat and no one fixed it until Shabbat finished therefore we had to take 8 story stairs in order to reavh our room! Please mind that I had 65 year old mother and a 10 year old kid with me in a very hot weather while climbing stairs!!! Horrible experience! Note for meyself: take an account of the comments here before reserving!

Verified reviewView from the balcony.
Everything. We had to change three rooms until we found one that had everything working. First room had no cold water - scolding hot was coming out of the cold faucet. Second room had no working air conditioner. third room had everything working, but none of the rooms had any chairs in them. Had to requests chairs and get them by ourselves because staff would not bring them to the room.
