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.).

GermanyWe had the impression of a little bit of improvisation and lack of experience. When we checked out we left our luggage and were assured that it would be safely put away and we agreed on the time to pick it up. When we arrived at the property all doors were wide open, some delivery/laundry (?) people were charging something from the hotel. In the meanwhile our luggage is stood in the open entrance zone without anybody watching. We walked in, called and waited for the manager or receptionist. No one showed up. After five minutes we took our suitcases and just left. It could have been taken by any random thief passing by … and this is something we found unacceptable. We did not even receive a phone call to confirm that it was really us picking up our suitcases … The night before the property called us on the phone after we had already received the booking.com confirmation by email. We didn’t understand why it was necessary to call us to confirm a confirmed reservation and it was not necessary to call us, when our suitcases had disappeared from the entrance.
Freshly renovated, well situated. Very friendly people. Seems to be family run.

United StatesA little loud if you face the street with cars driving by. A little hot in the summer, but overall enjoyable.
The location was great, within walking distance to centre but if you want to save your steps the hotel is near the Haymarket station to the rail, tram, and buses. The room was clean and comfortable along with the bed. We appreciated the small fridge and water with refills each day. Staff was nice and accommodating.

United KingdomOur room was lovely, but there were no curtains or blinds, therefore, not much privacy. There were the old wooden shutters, which we did use at bedtime, but it was not convenient during the day. No daylight. The bar was not in use, which was a bit disappointing, as it was a lovely room.
Liked the hotel, the young man who did everything for us, the location and the cleanliness.

Great location, we booked a small double which was ok and the shower was amazing. Room was really clean other than a few dead spiders on the wall.

IndiaRoom was not ready for check-in even though we reached 1.5 hrs late of checkin time. The wait for not long but still these times should be respected as late check outs are charged so late check in should be compensated as well.
