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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Tiki bar was a nice add-on to the stay. However, a lot of the guests smoked cigarettes, and that was a complete turn-off to my husband and I, who are socialites. We would have spent more time there if it wasn't for the abundance of cigarette smoke.
The rooms were nice and clean. We were able to request the floor we preferred to be on. We even received text messages from the property asking if we needed assistance, and they were definitely there to help when we needed. We will return when back in the area.

United StatesIt is an older property with exterior corridors that still reeks of the 1960s. No fitness room or restaurant, but there is a bar and a Racetrac is adjacent. The property is situated on a busy roadway and the traffic noise was fairly loud in the early morning. The price was very high for the quality level, but that is a seasonal factor.
There are numerous restaurants and services in the area and it seemed reasonably safe. Room interior was nice, having been recently rehabbed. Room was clean and had a kitchenette. There are washers and dryers for doing laundry. The pool was nice.

United StatesA woman on staff at the office abruptly asked my son why he was getting coffee rather than politely asking him what room he was staying in. More compassion and less negativity is warranted here.
Our customer service rep, Fabio, is an expectional asset to Lanterns Inn. Not only was he professional in this line of work, he was more than accommodating in an error made by another rep who mistakenly gave us a room with only 1 queen bed instead of 2 queen side beds which we had reserved for 3 nights. There should be more reps like Fabio in this line of business. Thank you again, Fabio, for the compassion you showed us.

United StatesThe required $150 deposit to cover possible damage to the room. If you paid with credit card, it would be returned to the card in a few days. Pay cash and they return it the next morning after a room inspection. Hope this isn't the way hotels are going. Very tough for some travelers to afford this.
Don't think breakfast was available. We were pleased that the room was newly renovated - very nice.
