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 reviewThe hotel canceled our first night and sent us to sleep in some place around without any facilities and they made this 10 hours prior to our arrival.
Dear Maxim, Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the disruption and frustration caused by the last-minute cancellation of your first night. This situation should not have occurred, and we fully understand how unacceptable and inconvenient it was to be relocated on such short notice. This was a clear failure on our part, and we are taking this matter very seriously. We are currently investigating the circumstances to ensure this does not happen again to future guests. Your feedback has highlighted a breakdown in both planning and communication, and we will be making the necessary changes internally to address it. We deeply regret the impact this had on your stay, and while we cannot undo what happened, we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to show you the level of service we strive to provide. Sincerely, Jane Mutonga, Hotel Boulevard - FOS

Verified reviewWe had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Boulevard. While the property is somewhat dated and could benefit from renovations, the rooms were impeccably clean. The staff was warm and attentive, which made our experience especially enjoyable. One drawback is that the bathroom window faces the corridor, which can occasionally result in some noise. Additionally, although the hotel’s location is convenient—just a 7-minute walk to the museum and within easy reach of both the city center and airport—the nearby expressway does contribute to some background noise.
Dear Andrea, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you had a pleasant stay with us at Hotel Boulevard and truly appreciate your kind words about our team — your recognition means a lot to us! We are glad you found the room exceptionally clean and enjoyed our convenient location. At the same time, we appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the bathroom window and expressway noise. We are always looking for ways to improve, and your comments help us do just that. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
