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.).

The Staff!! – All of them were incredibly friendly and so easy to talk to. From check-in to check-out, every interaction felt warm and genuine. They really made the stay feel welcoming and personal. Big thumbs up for the whole team! The Breakfast of course!! The Breakfast – Superb! It honestly felt like more than just breakfast—more like a full meal that could pass for lunch with snacks included. The variety was amazing, the portions were generous, and everything tasted great. Definitely a highlight of the stay!

BulgariaThe biggest and the only problem is that there is absolutely no sound insulation of the rooms. I was sleeping with noise canceling earbuds, but the battery lasted only for 6-7 hours, and in the morning, the noise of guests (crying children, unhappy spouses, and general activities of the hotel stuff) will wake you at 5:30 - 6:00 am.
The hotel is new and in excellent condition. The stuff is really welcoming and friendly. Excellent breakfast and view from the restaurant and the pool.

Vietnam. While the room itself was beautifully appointed, the soundproofing left much to be desired. The noise (even the dragging of feet) from the hallway was clearly audible, making it difficult to relax and unwind. Additionally, the shower experience was inconsistent, with fluctuating water temperature and frustratingly low water pressure. Despite having the technician to check on the problems, they were unable to rectify the issue. The staff at the reception however, did offer a change of room but as we had settled in the room we were reluctant to change rooms and if the problems still persisted in other rooms, it would have been more frustrating. As the hotel was still undergoing minor renovation, their renovation begins daily from 1 to 4pm which happens to be our afternoon nap time since we had young children
I had the opportunity to stay for 6 nights in Mandarin nest and she certainly delivers on its promise of exceptional service. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive staff. The hotel's ambiance is undeniably luxurious, clean and the amenities are top-notch. Kudos to Sky who always get my table with the children's high chair prepared every morning whenever at breakfast.

AustraliaOnly supplying one roll of toilet paper, not having seperate shampoo & conditioner, the noise every night is very loud and breakfast was average but the omelette made fresh is really good. The rooms need sound proofing. There are signs everywhere throughout the hotel floor and rooms advising of “quiet zone” however, the whole hotel has very audible music blasting to the early hours of the morning… Sort of contradicting.
Design and aesthetic, nice rooms, good TV and streaming services available, location, complimentary desserts, arrival experience was very good.
