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.).

NetherlandsLocation: The hotel is located near a big road. Occasionally you will hear emergency sirens, sound trucks, and any other loud vehicles. So, if you are a light sleeper, this might not be the place for you. Room size: I had a small single room; it is very small. Luckily, I could squeeze my large suitcase between the bed and the wall. But I had to use the "hallway" of my room when opening my suitcase and make sure not to trip over it, haha.
Luggage storage: On the day of arrival or departure, you are able to store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. Staff: The staff were helpful from the beginning to the end of my stay. I had my prescription sunglasses shipped to the hotel. When my glasses didn't arrive on the expected date (due to a misunderstanding), the staff at the front desk called the company for me to figure out when my glasses would arrive. The staff also notified me when my glasses had finally arrived. Amenities: You get a daily amenity package with clean towels, a clean yukata, paper cups, tea, coffee, sugar, cotton pads, and Q-tips. Cleaning: The room gets cleaned every three days, but you can request room cleaning. Location: The hotel is located a 10-minute walk from the station; it is mostly flat, so it is doable with a big suitcase.

FinlandRooms are rather small and at times inconvenient. Washing machines were continuously in use, which was inconvenient for me.
Location is excellent. I needed laundry washing option, which was available. Bath on the 11th floor is a plus. Breakfast is fairly good. Services in the hotel are fairly good.

JapanEverything was perfect. The only tiny thing was a bit of dust in the drawer with clean glasses and paper cups. This is just a tip for improvement and this will not stop me from staying in APA hotels in the future. With APA service, I am never disapointed. Thank you.
After a busy and hot day we can relax in a “sento”(public bath) on the 11th floor. There is also a sauna and a simple open-air bath. Pillows were great!

RussiaThe hotel is very good, if you are planning a trip to Kyoto - this might be a good stop for you. APA hotels in Japan also offers your lagguage transportation from one APA to another APA. I sent my bag from APA in Tokyo to APA in Kyoto and this is a great option

ArgentinaMy bathroom wasn't properly clean when I arrived, there were some hairs in the bathtub but I only found out really late at night when I came back so I washed out myself. The rest of the room was OK
Location close to the station so you can easily move around. The facilities were really good. A shame that they don't allow tattooed people into de onset unless you wear a sticker, which is not convenient if you want to have a proper wash

United StatesMinuscule size room- maybe 2 feet bigger than the bed? The “tub” was tiny but had a very high side wall (mid hip on me) so it was too small to use as a bathtub but challenging to get in and out of. If you are not comfortable with these movements, you won’t be able to use the shower.
Comfortable bed, reasonable price. Good wifi connection and air conditioning. Decently close to train station.
