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.).

TurkeyI was charged a high commission for paying the city tax by card. It was disappointing. I had never encountered something like this before.
Being close to the train station and having reception services until 4:00 PM made the check-in and check-out process easier. The staff were friendly and helpful.

FranceElevator has a very old system and people don't always follow the rules so you can't always use it. Water from the sink smelled a bit like sewer. It's an old building so it can be a bit noisy.
Really nice location, friendly and helpful staff. Price was fair. Nice equipments with a little fridge that was really helpful and air conditioning. Luggage storage system is nice. Size of the room was more than enough for two people. Elevator is helpful even though...

United KingdomCons: 1) Small old fashioned lift as we had to fold our infants pram everytime we used the lift. 2) No milk based coffee drinks in the afternoon or evening time. Available only in the morning. 3) Wi-Fi speed wasn’t great as it often dropped in speed throughout our stay. 4) Towels and bed sheets get replaced every 3 days for environmental reasons.
Pros: 1) Very close to the Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station - 4 min walk. 2) Very close to an excellent Indian restaurant - Crown of India - 2 min walk. 3) Very sweet and welcoming receptionist Abby who explained us everything very well. 4) Big spacious room with comfortable bed and high ceiling. 5) Free water refill, coffee machine & cookies on the floor. 6) Free luggage storage after you check out. 7) Laundary facility available. You need to give 24 hours notice though. 8) Receptionist available until 4 pm. However available throughout the day on whatsapp for any issues.

TurkeyAir conditioning is little bit old but fine.
It was very close to the station. I could reach the most popular places within a 10-minute walk. The room decoration was nice. Erika, the receptionist, was especially friendly. Even though I had already checked out, I was able to leave my belongings and pick them up later. The price was also quite reasonable.

AustriaRather noisy during the night due to Astrid Hotel guests. Confusing messages concerning check-in at ASTOR hotel/2nd floor. Finally we had check-in at the property but possible from 9 a.m. on. We received a set of keys which didn't work, it was the stand-by set....strange! We definitely preferred the lady hosting us years before.

United KingdomVery central location, walkable to all major sights. The bed was very comfy and the apartment clean and modern. There is a small kettle and tea in the room with a coffee station and microwave just down the corridor. The only thing I'd say is bring warm pyjamas, the nights and early mornings are cold even with the heating on.
