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 reviewThe staff and the location were excellent. Rooms were nice, tidy and the size was good as well.
Although the rooms were nice and tidy, it was quite dusty. I believe it was due to the interior being velvet and nothing more.

Verified reviewThe location is definitely the best part about the hotel! Easy to get around and very close to a lot of shopping and dining options. The staff were all very nice and always tried their best to accommodate. Special thanks to Cemil (Jamil), he was super helpful, always looked after us, and helped us with our bags. Taha at the reception was also great and considerate, and the staff in the breakfast area were all very nice. It is a small boutique hotel, so the bigger rooms with terrace balconies are definitely worth it. And the shower at the hotel was 10/10, I'd recommend for a short stay or for a solo trip!
The loading/drop off area is very tight. There was a lot of traffic caused on the one way road that made you have to get on and off quickly from a car/taxi. The Glens restaurant does not have any outdoor seating despite having a really nice area dedicated. It's like a huge missed opportunity to a make the area a small cafe or seating area. (Apparently, they are changing the concept or figuring out a better way to do it), I hope it gets done better for the next time if I stay. The reception and entry area is very cramped and can fill up quickly, especially when people are checking in and out. The regular/standard rooms are nice but also very tight/small, it's good size for one person. The standard rooms also have a "french balcony" but it can barley fit one or two people standing. This is more like an excellent four star hotel (that happens to have an extra star). The ACs also had some problems, but they were quick to resolve it. The system is a bit strange/confusing where they can also see the AC usage from the reception and manually turn it on and off. One of the rooms we were in had a broken safe, so we luckily just used the other rooms safe. Also, the company they used for the transportation was not great. They were at the wrong arrival gate at the airport and handled our language poorly. I'd recommend arranging it outside or getting an uber/taxi instead. It lead to a bad first impression of the hotel to be using that service.
