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.).

AustraliaThere was no coffee sachets available to have a coffee. TV was not functioning. Pillows were very firm and quite uncomfortable to use. Mattress seemed to be at the end of its life. Body wash not sufficient for the two rooms sharing the bathroom. Shampoo and conditioner containers empty.
Location was good and area was quiet. Many food options were available only a short walk away.

United KingdomThere were no towels in room upon arrival. I wanted to have a shower before I went back out. I rang the number provided but no one answered. I'd also requested towels via the app twice, no reply. I rang the number when I got back in to be told the linens delivery was late & because I wasn't in, they didn't leave me any towels! I said you should have a key like normal hotel housekeeping, but they said they didn't! I eventually had towels brought to me after midnight. They had dirty marks in them & one had a big rip down the side. The remote control for the TV was very dirty. I had to clean it with disinfectant spray. I didn't have a drink as the tea bags were loose in a pot. There were 2 spiderwebs with spiders in them in the small room where the toilet & sink were. The light didn't work in the separate shower. Only shampoo was provided in the dispenser, no conditioner or shower gel (which was quoted as being included). Hairdryer was a travel one, so it took ages to dry my hair.
Solo traveller. A large room for myself was a bonus.

United KingdomThe shower was constantly scalding hot or freezing. Both me and my young children got burned due to the inconsistent temperature. The front door slammed shut at all hours which was just the other side of the wall to our beds. The room wasn't properly cleaned and there were stains on the bedding and towels. The bins weren't emptied during our 3 night stay and the outside bins were full.
The room was on the ground floor and we enjoyed having coffee making facilities and private space. There was lots of coffee and milk left for us. We could walk to the main sights (about 20 minutes) and there are shops/cafes nearby.

United KingdomThere wasn't enough towels for us on arrival, although after contacting the owner, we did get more towels - not enough toilet rolls, had to request more, but didn't get them in time before we left the room - pillows were very uncomfortable to sleep on, had to use the cushions instead. Found the room was very warm and we could only open one window - thought the overall cleanliness of the room and bathroom wasn't great. For the budget it was just ok.
Location was very good - handy to get to shops, bus routes, etc - road outside was busy - bit noisy at night, but that's only to be expected I guess!
