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 reviewIt was in the centre of town The kitchen facilities were good.
The lack of staff,there was no one to answer questions ,we ran out of toilet paper and couldn't get more even though l messaged them to ask for more,the bathroom looked old and dingy and the noise at night was so loud that we got no sleep,our room was above a very loud bar with live music playing into the early hours and then the noise from the street below was horrendous, nowhere was the noise level mention when booking this hotel,the first time we realised it might be an issue was when we arrived and saw that they supplied earplugs. We got no sleep for the 2nights we were there,also the late check in was a problem as we had a very early morning flight but couldn't chk in until 3pm l requested an early chk in but was told my request was denied.would not recommend this hotel.

Verified reviewThe location is great.
What made the ratings: The bathroom was as stinky as a sewage, disgusting and unbearable. Minor issues: the main ceiling light was not working, there are no hooks in the bathroom, not even for the shower towel.

Verified reviewThe local was very central, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
The sliding door to the bathroom was very difficult to open and close because the wheels were off track. There was no where in the bathroom to hang towels or place any toiletries. There were no spoons for tea. The link as a form of checkout was creative but easy to forget.

Verified reviewCentrally located.
The parking is about 15 min away. No on street parking. No staff on site. Customer service is snarky and unhelpful. The windows didn’t open which made it difficult to vent from the shower. When they sent someone to fix it they smashed the window and left glass everywhere while we were out. They wanted us to pack up and move rooms at 11 pm at night. Not thrilled.

Verified reviewThe location is great. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The room and bathroom are spacious. The nespresso machine & mini fridge are two of the most important things I look for and both worked great. The shower has excellent water pressure and shower heads.
The pillows were awful. They need to be upgraded. The amenities listed were "Air Conditioning", which is false. I checked into my room on a warm sunny day and it was hot inside because of the direct light. There's no thermostat and no air conditioning. Only one window opens 4 inches, so you can barely get fresh air in the room. If you want a quiet night sleep, forget it. Bars are directly across, underneath, and next to the building. Unless you stay up till 2-5am, you better take some sleeping pills.

Even on the 5th floor you could feel the bass from the bar, but being from a bigger (louder) city it wasn’t as bothersome
