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.).

United StatesWould have been nice to offer a continental grab and go breakfast but there is a breakfast shop attached that seemed convenient. We didn’t stay to try it.
We arrived late at night after a long day of travel. This was the perfect off the road hotel to catch some sleep before continuing our travels. It was quiet and clean and easy to check in and out. I also liked the gated parking.

Hong KongThe floor in the room is dusty. Clearly, no one cleaned it before checking in, and no slippers were provided for that. Few gadgets in the room are no working well but no harm is done.
Great location, a lot of nice restaurants nearby & relatively close to the city town area. Friendly & helpful staff, spacious room, the environment looks new and the price is acceptable.

CanadaThe parking did not feel very safe. It also did not feel secure at all as anyone could climb the low fence. I did not like the location as it does not look or feel very safe. From my room I watched 4 people taking drugs, looking through bags & just “being” there for hours (big & empty lot). The coffee maker in the room is old & those kind hold so many germs. Needs updating to Keurig or ? I did not even use it (went downstairs in jp’s to get coffee). The fact that there is only paper cups in the rooms make me feel un-appreciated. The TV channel choices is very old & outdated in this day & age.
The staff were accommodating & mostly friendly. I liked the electricity-saving things like the card needing to be in the slot to use the main light, the auto shut-off of the bathroom light…So many people leave the lights on when they aren’t even in the room. The pillows were great. The coffee carafe in the lobby.
