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.).

Polandthe bedsheets were definitely not very fresh (the pillows were washed tho). towels were very small and just super old, almost see through in some parts, shower curtain is just a piece of material so it’s impossible not to flood the bathroom. toilet unfortunately had pee stains on it, meaning wasn’t clean properly. there’s not a lot of lights in the room and also no natural lights since our room had a view of the other hotel. wi fi wasn’t working very well and also wasn’t working at all on the 3rd floor.
this place definitely has a vibe. it’s pretty old and seems like nobody takes care of it but at the same time it’s lovely. staff is so kind and helpful, made us feel very welcomed and answered all of our questions, especially the older man working the night shift. made our night a little better after our long travel. when you get in you get handed your key and the remote control (tv is old and not a lot of channels but still nice to have) room had a fridge and a microwave. there was a lot of space in the room for luggage (even a closet) and the beds were comfortable (even tho one of the beds was slightly broken) there was a hairdryer in the bathroom and some toiletries. no shelves in the bathroom. in the morning they bring donuts and coffee (and allegedly fruits but we didn’t see any) and they’re free to grab (1 for each guest) they let us borrow beach gear and store our luggages for free ac was working

GermanyThe only criticism: the Wi-Fi was quite slow in our room, but worked perfectly in the lobby. And the air conditioning (which is essential in August) was a little loud for us Europeans. We're not used to that.
My husband and I were satisfied with the hotel. We were looking for an affordable hotel in a very central location. The hotel fully met our expectations. We were very pleased that even though we booked without breakfast, we still got coffee and a doughnut in the morning, which is not always the case. The staff was courteous and friendly, as were the owners.

United KingdomBeds are very soft and pillows thin but never the less very comfortable. Lacks plug sockets but managed and not a big issue.
Price. $113 for 1 night 2 adults. Very clean, efficient and friendly check in, hot shower, great air con and fan in room too, tv with Netflix app. We were allowed to park car for free (when all around parking is charged at $20 to $50 per day) from 2pm on check in day and leave it there till 3pm on check out day.

BrazilThe place is old, bed, shower and AC weren't really good. I wouldn't recommend staying for many days if you want a minimum of comfort.
Price was fair and location is perfect! Having parking is a big plus.

HungaryThe older lady at the reception was really rude, condescending and phlegmatic. Like we should ask for apologies to be there..
The location is very good, and the size of the room was totally ok. The room was quiet, and we didn’t have any issue with air conditioning.

United StatesAircon didn’t work, it was just blowing air, but didn’t cool down the room. Water in the toilet would stop working then work again. Rooms and hotel looks run out, but I guess after renovation price wouldn’t be the same.
Free parking was a winner deal for me as I was renting a car. Location is superior and area is very quiet at night, I had a good night sleep. One girl on reception was very sweet and friendly, 2 old men was the opposite.

NorwaySome rooms are better than others, but cleaning is not the best and you can hear everything in the rooms. The walls are thin!
Close to everything in South Beach. You stay here because of the location and value for money.
