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.).

ItalyAs an Italian I always miss the bidet while traveling but I understand it can't be anywhere. Breakfast was really early in the morning (6.30-9.30 am). I would suggest adding a couple more vegan options!
Our room was big and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, I loved every bite. Bonus: there is one man in the staff who told us the history of the building and some suggestions regarding what to visit. He was very kind and dedicated Thank you!!

NorwayThe entrance to parking should be easier access. Our room was cold, and we tried to regulate the temperature,but we realised it was a central heating regulation, so it stayed cold all night. Not carpet in the bathroom,after shower, it became slippery.And hair dryer stopped every minute with 5 min break, and it was a bit annoying. Another small detail is the window of our room looking towards another guest room ,so as seamed not crowded the expectation was that maybe we would be no facing any guest room.

United KingdomThe bed, the mattress was more of a mattress topper, about 70 mm thick that sagged and moved as you did, such a shame.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the underground bargain was good as I was concerned about my bike. The room was compact but very modern with a good shower. The breakfast was an excellent variety, I would challenge any one to say they could not find something. Plus it was well served and cooked were appropriate.

United StatesNo place to park upon arrival; no sense of arrival. Had to park in remote lot across the street. Walk-in navigate access. Garage: way too tight and hard to navigate with luxury car Luggage: had to pull luggage up garage ramp, no elevator access to hotel from garage. No ramp from street to front door - had to heft up luggage to hotel entrance Room: didn’t really care for window facing interior lobby of hotel No bath mat or washcloths. Do not care for mini-bar items in frig Had to unplug lamp to plug in water kettle Really bizarre odd furnishings in room and lobby and restaurants

FranceBetter to leave the luggage at the hotel entrance before entering the car park as there is no elevator to the lobby. The car park has very small slots: plan to book in advance with the reception and beware if you have a big car!
Good stop hotel while arriving or leaving through the ferry. Just a few minutes from the harbor, and from the city main square that has many restaurant options. Good comfort and breakfast, friendly staff and great to have a parking just underneath - which you need to book!
