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 KingdomI wouldn’t want to make a big thing off it but in the shower which was a really great downpour from a rain head I really wanted a seperate wand ( hose) to reach those undercarriage parts the rain head doesn’t reach very well. If entering from the rear car park it’s best I learned to leave the baggage in the car until you can check in and receive the room pass otherwise you have to climb a high spiral staircase as no entry to the elevator without the pass. Once given you can use the lift to go back to the car and retrieve the luggage making it easier to access your room.
Everything was perfection beautiful extremely clean hotel with luxurious carpeted hallways and into the room as well. The standard room was perfect for me, luxury in my world great furniture in the wardrobe and desks comfortable chairs and a great air conditioning system keeping the room cool or heated as required. The television provided great viewing with sky sports and movie channels. The whole place is spotless and very attentive helpful staff who couldn’t do enough for anyone staying. The food was superb at dinner, I don’t eat breakfast but friends said it was great with an amazing array of dishes on offer. My beef noodle salad was a stunning dish I wanted to have more but went for the bbq pork chop served sliced with prunes peaches and a cider sauce. We ordered a side of new potatoes to go along with it but they were too much as the meal was very filling. A great stay and one I’ll make again

Malmaison Aberdeen is the perfect base for us as we have family nearby. We walk into town for daytrips, but there is a great bus service outside. We adore the chic décor (especially the wallpapers and the cellar!) This is a repeat visit to Mal Aberdeen and we can't recommend the hotel enough. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and admittedly, we have only had breakfast in the main restaurant and bar lunches as we are usually with family for evening meals. That said, the food we have had has always been exceptional. The staff make the hotel. From all the FOH team, who have always been so welcoming no matter the time we arrive, to the F&B team who are flawless in their delivery of service and knowledge of the wine list! The hotel is the perfect spot for a quieter stay as it's just outside of town with a free (small) car park to the rear, backing onto residential areas. Hence our repeat stays!

United StatesNothing, honestly. Everything was great! One small thing: our room (although beautiful) was located in the older part of the building where there is no lift. Several flights of stairs to climb to get to our room. If stairs are an issue for you, make sure your room in near the lift
All of the meals were wonderful; our breakfast was included the cost of our stay and was well worth it. The selection from the "buffet" and menu were more than ample The room was quite large and had many extras: robe, slippers, bathtub. Very, very nice

United KingdomBeware- the Booking.com answer to the frequently asked question of what half-board consists of is completely wrong. Is does NOT give you £50 pp from dinner menu. Despite my booking saying”half board” reception staff insisted it was actually db&b which only allows you 2 courses from a paper menu , with supplements for some choices, and doesn’t include extras such as chips, vegetables or salad.
Lovely decor, great restaurant staff and delicious food.

United StatesThe pillows were God awful and pretty dead- please replace. No elevator to my knowledge-may be an issue for someone with physical disabilities. Be sure to get clarification on the parking in the rear of the building.
It was trendy and modern-liked the theme. Very spacious! Loved the claw tub in the living area.
