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.).

You hear every step of the person above you. Makes you think if people below can hear your steps.

Verified reviewWe had a very good room, a nice comfy bed, and a very easy time with check in, check out, and all of our booking! The room was exactly what we needed for one night in Kent!
The room could have been a touch cleaner, and it would be super cool if there was a simple included breakfast, rather than the only option for breakfast at the hotel being additional money.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you had a smooth check-in and check-out experience, and that your room was just what you needed for your stay in Kent. It's great to know the bed was comfy and the booking process went well! We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding cleanliness and breakfast options. We're always looking for ways to improve, and your comments help us do just that. We'll be sure to pass your suggestions along to the appropriate teams. We hope to welcome you back again soon—whether for a short stay or a longer visit!

Verified reviewEveryone was friendly and it was very clean.
The pool was freezing cold and the whole reason I even booked the hotel as it was my autistic daughter's bday. We cant swim at normal places sadly. So her birthday plans were ruined. She just wanted to swim.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly glad to hear that you found our team friendly and the hotel clean—that means a lot to us. However, we are sincerely sorry to learn that the pool temperature impacted your daughter's birthday plans. We can only imagine how disappointing that must have been, especially given how meaningful this occasion was for both of you. Please know that we take this to heart, and we understand how important it is to provide an inclusive and comfortable experience for all our guests. Your comments have been shared with our management and maintenance teams so we can evaluate and improve where possible. We'd truly appreciate the opportunity to make this right and offer your family the experience you were hoping for.

We were on the 3rd floor. Walls/cielings are paper thin and you could hear the people above simply walking around. A bit strange for such a modern structure.

Verified reviewFriendly staff and great atmosphere.
Parking could be explained a bit more in-depth. Was told about parking but was not expecting the charge was applied upon receiving the pass not per use of the parking pass
Thank you so much for your kind words about our staff and atmosphere — we’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience overall! We appreciate your feedback regarding parking. To clarify for future guests: parking is $13.50 per night, per vehicle, and includes unlimited in-and-out access during your stay. The charge is applied when the parking pass is issued, not per use. We’ll work on making this clearer at check-in to avoid any confusion. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Verified reviewThe hotel was spotless, sleek, modern design and everything seemed brand new. The room was very spacious and the AC was in good working order. There was free coffee and hot water 24/7 in the lobby.
Mattress was a bit too soft. The pool was out of order. The hotel charges a temporary $50 hold on your credit card at check out. I have still not been refunded this money over 12 hours later. I find this relatively new practice unnecessary and quite annoying.
Thanks for your review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our spotless, modern design, spacious room, and the 24/7 complimentary coffee. We apologize for the soft mattress and the out-of-order pool. We're working to get the pool back in service as soon as possible. Regarding the $50 credit card hold, this is a standard incidental charge that your bank typically releases within a few business days. We understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future.
