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.).

Rude and disinterested reception staff and both check in and departure. Rooms furnishing did not function well in the space. Single mattresses had hard edges which made bed feel very narrow.

Verified reviewRelatively new building with nice features and very up to date. Bathroom was above average. Breakfast buffet was reasonable.
Our stay was ruined by the very unfriendly staff. We tried to check in 1/2 hour early but despite no cars or people, we were abruptly told the room wasn’t ready yet. When we later checked in, he had trouble finding our reservation strongly implying he really didn’t bother to check the readiness of our room. Our car battery died - fortunately someone else besides this same person who didn’t want to lift a finger was willing to help out. The whole place just seemed cold and unfriendly. Unfortunately, there are not many other options ins Vik.

Verified reviewBreakfast ok. Coffee in restaurant not good. Coffee good in room Dinner good but expensive (just like everywhere). Loved room 202! If we would have been in a regular room for 3 nights, we would have been miserable.
Wish front desk person would have said exactly what to do to get the cave tour discount. Weather lousy which was not the fault of the hotel! Not a place you want to be stuck when it is raining unless you have a nice room.
Dear Rodger, Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear you loved Room 202 and enjoyed the in-room coffee and dinner. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding breakfast, the restaurant coffee, and the cave tour discount instructions—this helps us see where we can improve the experience for our guests. We’re sorry the weather didn’t cooperate during your stay, but we’re glad your room provided comfort. We hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back under sunnier skies!

Verified reviewBreakfast buffet was great. Lots of options and it was very helpful for breakfast to start early so that we could get an early start to our day. The rooms were very, very small. Bathroom also very small and shower door didn't keep the water in the shower. Walls also very thin and we could hear the kids next door. Our rooms were very close to the lounge area which also made the rooms a bit noisy.
Dear Victoria, Thank you for leaving this feedback! Please accept our apologies if you found the room size and the sound isolation of the room to be improvable. Kindly know that we have taken note of this, and it will be considered for future improvements. That shower door will certainly be revised tomorrow!

Not enough hot water. Our room had a view of the front door. Price was very expensive compared to places like New York City and Waikiki beach... definitely not comparable but I suppose supply is small and demand is high.
