How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewCentral location
This hotel is run down. It caters for refugees rooms have no working electric sockets. Our toilet when flushed caused a flood to the room below. Angry people who could not speak English came banging on our door. No catering provision for breakfast. Although tea and coffee set out you could not boil the kettle. This hotel has charged me more than one from the previous night that I rated as 5 star. I want my money back.
Hi Michael, We're very sorry for the issues encountered during your stay. Of course we would not charge you for this stay, which is why we have put through a refund request for you via booking.com. All of our bedrooms have working electrics and plumbing, and after investigation by our plumbers it was found that there was an issue due to unsuitable items having been flushed down the toilet by a previous guest, damaging a pipe which leaked into another guest's room and caused some electric sockets to go out. This is not the standard that we strive for and we do what we can to correct any issues which arise as soon as we're made aware of them so, once again, we'd like to offer our apologies.

Verified reviewNothing I’m looking for a refund
When we got to the hotel we were taken down a dark dreary alleyway for about 100 metres to an old building not connected to the main hotel in any way. My wife absolutely refused to stay. We ended up driving almost 2 hours home. Very disappointed
Hi Joe, While the manager approved a refund in your case, as I had mentioned in the email sent to you, we're not able to put one through as booking.com's system has marked you as having stayed in the property due to this review having been left. Again, we apologise for the disappointment on your arrival. I would, however, like to point out that our lit up alley (with CCTV cameras stationed inside) is merely 20 metres long, leading to the refurbished annex building on the hotel's premises.

Hi Susan, Apologies for the issue, we usually update any mattresses with problematic springs, so I'll mark the room's bed to be updated. Our housekeepers pride themselves on their cleanliness, so it's surprising to hear they fell short. We'll be sure to address this problem as well, of course.

No option for breakfast, the resident bar closed at 10pm and I had to get someone to unlock the gate to get my car out.

Annex room were poorly furbished. The toilet was right next to the head of the bed ! The toilet had a smell even before use which made an unusual smell in the room : when I got home all my clothes smelt which is not something I’ve experienced at a hotel
Hi Maurice, We'd like to apologise about the issues during your stay. Unfortunately we were not aware of any smell in the room and we are not able to investigate it by this point - the room is serviced daily and this has not come up before or after your stay. We're also not sure what you mean by the toilet being right next to the head of the bed, as the bed is pushed up against the wall and the entrance to the bathroom is closer to the foot of the bed. We will of course take your comments on board and be extra vigilant regarding this issue.

Verified reviewLocation and provide parking place
I was quite disappointed with my stay. The room I was given was in a different building than the main hotel, which was not mentioned at the time of booking. This felt misleading and not what I expected. Additionally, the room appears to be newly constructed, but unfortunately, it had a very strong and unpleasant smell—likely from new paint or materials. It made the stay uncomfortable. Overall, I did not enjoy the experience and would not choose this accommodation again unless improvements are made in transparency and ventilation.
Hi WeiJie, I'm sorry about the disappointment in your stay. We do clarify that the rooms available are in our Annex building on the hotel's main page, the room type titles. We also send a welcome email to explain the situation at the time of booking to do all we can to make sure the guest is aware. I'm afraid there's little else we may do as we have been working with booking.com on ways to make it as clear as possible that the rooms are in the Annex. I would also like to apologise about the unpleasant smell, we were not aware of this problem as the rooms are aired out very regularly. I will look into this with our housekeeping team.
