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 reviewI really enjoyed staying here! I became ill after my first night and the staff was outstanding. They went above and beyond to ensure I was feeling okay and they even brought me tea for my sore throat. Everyone was delightful! I cannot wait to return. The area was perfect and I always felt 100% safe.

The bath room smells bad, although I was in the second floor, I had a big luggage, the stair is narrow and there is no elevator, it’s a bit difficult to carry them on the floor. But if you have small luggage, it’s not a problem
Dear Ziyou Tang, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our central location and the charm of our historic building. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the bathroom odor and the lack of an elevator. As our building is older and preserved for its character, space limitations unfortunately prevent the installation of an elevator, but we understand how this can be challenging with heavy luggage. Your comments have been shared with our housekeeping team to address the bathroom issue promptly. We truly appreciate your helpful comments, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again with an even better experience next time. Kind regards, Old Riga Boutique Hotel "Vecriga"

Verified reviewThe location and pleasant people. The receptionist took the initiative to change our room from the 2nd to the ground floor when I returned from a fall on cobblestones and was walking on crutches with a badly bruised leg. Wonderful breakfast. The adorable inner courtyard open to the sky. Simple decor of slightly faded glory. This was my second stay at this hotel. Our second room was very very nice with more modern touches and amenities.The first room was small but adequate and clean. The Ra tings are for the 2nd room we had.
The bedside lighting in the first room needed repair which we didn't get.
Dear Lynn Ross, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re truly glad that you felt cared for during your stay, especially after your injury, as our team was happy to help make your stay with us more comfortable. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the breakfast, our inner courtyard, and the comfort of your second room. We also appreciate your comments on the hotel’s charm and atmosphere. We apologize for the issue with the bedside lighting in your first room and have followed up with our maintenance team to ensure it’s addressed. it was a pleasure to welcome you back, and we hope to see you again soon!

Verified reviewNice staff at check in - very friendly and helpful. The location is in the very heart of Old Riga which is great. Cozy room.
Though the location seems perfect, taxies do not come to the entrance and if you have heavy bags it is a problem to get them to the hotel. Even a few dozens of meters are a problem because it is hard to pull the bags along the old stone road.
Dear Olga, Thank you very much for staying with us and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, especially the friendliness of our staff and the coziness of your room. It’s always wonderful to know our team helped make your experience a positive one. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the access to the hotel. Indeed, being located in the very heart of Old Riga, our charming cobblestone streets come with certain limitations—especially for vehicles. We understand this can be inconvenient when carrying heavy luggage, and we’re sorry for the trouble it caused. Please know that we are always happy to assist with luggage upon request, and we’re looking into clearer communication on this for future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon and wish you all the best in your travels! Warm regards, Old Riga Hotel Vecriga
