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 reviewA spacious room, great location, friendly staff, very good a la carte breakfast at their restaurant.
They do not provide you with an iron and ironing board (and if they iron themselves, it is chargeable).

Verified reviewClean, very nice matress
The staff’s attitude. There was no coffee or tea in the room despite being cups and kettle. At breakfast there was no bread. A bit far from the city center, I’ll not stay there ever again.

Verified reviewAbsolutely unacceptable. I was charged €20 at checkout because a towel was allegedly “stained” by my hair. Seriously? This is not a luxury resort with silk linens — it’s a basic hotel, and yet they seem to expect guests to use towels without actually using them. This kind of charge is nothing short of a scam. Hair products, makeup, and normal use are part of daily hygiene — no decent hotel punishes guests for that. If your towels can’t handle basic use, maybe invest in better laundry services instead of blaming your customers. I travel often and have never seen such petty and dishonest behavior. I left feeling disrespected and exploited. Never again — and I strongly advise others to stay away.

Verified reviewThe room was clean.
A place with the worst service I've ever received! We arrived at 3 am to check in, and there was no hot water in the shower!! We also asked if we could check out at 4 pm instead of 12. At first they told us yes and there was no problem and then they told us only to pay for the whole night!!!! In short, they played with our answers. And finally when we asked them to come to us in terms of price, the Hotel manager told us that if we didn't pay they would call the police!! Don't

Noisy behind the door. Renovation in the hallway all day. The ‘Do Not Disturb’ and ‘Make Up Room’ signs are the same color and style. Mixed them up a bit, and I got woken up in the morning with a request for cleaning.
