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.).

Saudi ArabiaIt is more like a suggestion rather than negative feedback . I wish if the restaurant had a variety of food options . However, the food was tasty, and the service was fast .
Welcoming of the staff and cooperation, , valet parking service was fast, and cleanliness of the room as well as the location was convenient for me and near to the places I usually visit

United KingdomThis is a truly exceptional hotel located in the heart of central Manama with shopping malls, the souq and the waterfront all close at hand. It's so good that I ensured I stayed here again on my second visit to Bahrain. The staff go above and beyond guests' expectations - nothing is too much trouble. The peaceful hotel lobby and mezzanine library are immaculately kept with great art to view and luxurious, stylish furnishings. The rooftop Indigo restaurant serves food from breakfast until late...and it's only a few steps away from the pool which boasts great views on the Manama skyline. All the suites are generously sized and include an ice maker, fridge and a microwave. Led by the ever attentive but never intrusive general manager Riccardo Cocco, this is a perfect five star luxury choice for business or leisure.

Saudi ArabiaThis was our third visit to The Merchant House, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. The hotel’s ambience is truly unique—stylish, calm, and welcoming. The staff consistently provide warm and professional service, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrive. We always enjoy dining at the hotel restaurant, and during this stay, we had the chance to try the spinach pancake at breakfast—it was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. A special mention to Camala, who served us with genuine warmth and attentiveness. She made our morning even more pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit!
