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.).

LuxembourgThe single beds are really...single beds, and hence a bit small.
Excellent hotel. Nicely modernized rooms (premium floor). Very friendly and professional staff at the front desk and concierge. Location, close to shops and restaurants in the station area. Easy parking.

Hong KongHotel is not so convenient, as it is a good 8 - 10 minute walk from JR station which is tough considering the hot and sunny summer days. A shuttle bus service every half an hour or 45 minutes will be well received. Hotel has shown signs of aging and some maintenance in room (like wardrobe) and public areas like carpets are urgently required.
Staff are very friendly, well trained and helpful. Restaurants offer good variety of meals. We visited both the buffet lunch and japanese lunch and food in both are highly recommended.

SingaporeThe areas that weren't freshly renovated look their age. The better restaurants (including the one in the hotel) requires advanced reservation.
Location, location, location. Did not know the city well, decided to take a 3D2N trip to look around Niigata and sample the local food and Japanese sake. The hotel did not disappoint. Great staff, professional and warm and the rooms were newly renovated so they look modern and comfortable and welcoming. Had a good rest. Slept well.

United StatesThe hotel is showing its age a little bit in places. It doesn't have a swimming pool, which would have been nice.
The hotel was very handy to all that Niigata has to offer. It's a short walk to the train station and a lot of the most popular sites, and also isn't too far from the river and the Sado Island ferry terminal. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. Numerous great restaurants, including a lovely bar on the top floor with great views of the city.

SingaporeThe room is a bit small with one side of the bed pushed against the wall.
The hotel provides eye masks, bath salts and even a fabric spray! Very impressed with the attention to small details which make the stay more pleasant. I also like that the housekeeping doesn't move your things around when making up the room. Good location near the train station, shopping area and the ferry terminal so walkable everywhere!

ThailandI wish the Japanese selection at breakfast was more, and the curry could be with other meat or vegetarian as I don't take beef. The corner at the Japanese line was a bit small and gets really crowded.
The breakfast was good with wide selection spanning both Japanese and western. Parking was free for IHG member which was a pleasant surprise, and the parking lot was very convenient to access (although a bit confusing at first entry because of the one-way streets). The staff was very friendly and offered to help without needing to be asked, and can communicate adequately in English.
