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.).

United StatesThe street was being redone. The front sidewalk was torn up. They put a cinder block and another smaller brick on top as a step. Not safe and our first impression of the hotel. Was difficult to communicate with staff. I realize English is not their language but it’s a hotel, should be able to communicate. The spa seemed disorganized, staff was not very nice, could barely communicate with anyone. Ran out of locker space in ladies dressing room, gave us a locker in men’s dressing room. Housekeeper knocked on our door super early one morning. Did not have do not disturb sign on the door, but was very early. Was looking forward to a good breakfast but it was awful. Terrible coffee, warm milk, orange juice wasn’t real, food was nasty, except the cucumbers and tomato were ok. Canned fruit. Small shower, vinyl bottom.
It was close to the metro

United KingdomThere is only one thing I would like to say for Hotel Management. New hotel refurbishment is fantastic, but if Housekeeping will not take care of the rooms, and will not clean up to the standard- you will need to do refurbishment very soon again, and you will have a lot of not nice reviews from the guests in future.
It was my first stay in Amethyst Hotel. Who is coming for business - it's a PERFECT LOCATION! Hotel staff are very friendly, polite and understanding, very professional and helpful. I had some issues with the room, and everything has been sorted straight away. Very appreciate! I stayed in room 701 and had a sea view. In the room: tea/coffee facilities, bottles of water complimentary, bathrobes and slippers, toiletries, good water pressure, TV, very comfy bed and bedding, good lighting in the room and bathroom. Public transport is close to the hotel. Historical places also in 5 minutes walk. During the night, it was very quiet in the hotel, and I didn't hear neighbours at all, but the hotel was almost fully booked.

New ZealandSteps up to the entrance was inpractical travelling with a child and a buggy. Wifi took a while to work and there was no time indicated about room service. Room was a little small and the beds were hard.
Fantastic location, very nice hotel, lovely big pool, good breakfast. Bags were brought up for us. Very clean. The Spa manager was so friendly and welcoming. She was very good with our toddler and held her as we both changed. She took the time to encourage our daughter to explore the childrens pool.
