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.).

United KingdomBit dated furnishings but very well kept/maintained. Light in hallways were on a sensor but didnt always turn on so needed to use phone light.
Excellent location very close to town ferry pick up point, friendly staff, rooms clean and comfortable, lovely spread of breakfast so many options even for vegetarians, great sound proof doors as in very central location heard no noise from outside. Quite pricey but expected in August peak season

Saudi ArabiaThe hotel has a good location in the center of the city. The breakfast is good and the restaurant staff are nice, especially Ms. Alla, who provides excellent service. The rooms are clean, but the furniture is old. The check-in procedures are fast. Parking is 500 meters away and costs 18 euros per day. There is a parking lot near the hotel, but it is not always available.

AustriaParking/Garage is not within hotel, dated Rooms and the receptionist (young,tall guy with black glasses think his name is Marco) extremely unfriendly and should not have any contact with clients (at best put him in back office). Honestly we have never, ever been "served" so poorly - disgrace and disappointment. On the other hand, all the others were nice and friendly
Breakfast was good, excellent location, mattress was good (not soft yet not too hard) only a bit short for tall people (180cm +)

IrelandIt doesn't actually have an indoor pool as advertised. It has a small pool as part of the spa area which you have to pay to use. It doesn't have a gym either... just a bedroom it's four pieces of gym equipment. I think the advertising regarding these two things is very misleading to say the least.
Its location was amazing. Staff were fantastic, helpful, friendly and breakfast was excellent.

The location was wonderful. In the old town, across the street from the lake and promenade and ferry. Public paid parking very close. Staff was helpful and spoke multiple languages including English. The historic building was interesting.

IsraelIt's far located in an area with narrow roads . You have to drive 20 minutes frome the main road. The unique thing is the old beautiful castle that was presented at the web as "the hotel" but as mentioned this isn't the place we were told to stay in. We are very disappointed!!!¹
Im desappointed of the place we sayed in. I liked and I chosed the old historical building you presented in booking. Unfortunately the reception sent some of the guests to the beautiful promised building and sent us to the standard building in front of it. This isn't correct it's misleading and a break of the contract.

United KingdomThe lack of plug sockets in the room. There were only 2 in the whole room. One was for the kettle and one for the fridge, which meant we couldn't charge our phones, battery packs, and watches at the same time. I had to wait for my friends to charge before I could charge mine which felt like a waste of time because if there were plug sockets on each sides of the beds, this wouldn't be a problem.
The location was amazing as it was close to ferries where you could go to other areas without any hassle.
