We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomSee above. The hotel is also in the middle of nowhere so we couldn't even get food.
We booked a night at this hotel back in June but we didn't end up staying. It seems like the property is more focused on the sports facilities because the rooms was unclean, the bed was broken and the fittings were shabby. We thought we might stay to use the pool, which is big, but the stagnant water didn't look clean and I didn't want to put the children in it. The staff were very nice and even helped us load the luggage into the taxi!

United KingdomEverything !!!! Dirty had mold, even the pillows had mold. Mosquitos. There is no proper reception just a desk, staff only spoke Tamil, no where to get food or drinks in the hotel. The reviews on this hotel I believe are all fake. No one in their right mind would give 10 let a lone even 1 Hence to say we did not stay at this hotel.

AustraliaThe most disappointing aspect was the lack of cleanliness in the room. While I’m comfortable with basic facilities, cleanliness is a fundamental expectation—regardless of the price point or location.
This property did not meet expectations and would be more accurately described as budget backpacker accommodation, rather than a hotel. The room was not clean, with visibly dirty bed linen and threadbare towels. Its location beside a river also raised concerns about mosquitoes, though we did not stay long enough to confirm. The photographs online were misleading and did not reflect the actual condition of the property. The overwhelmingly positive reviews seemed unreliable, and we immediately sought alternative accommodation. Fortunately, the Radisson was only 400 metres away. The only positive note was the genuine warmth of the manager who checked us in. Given the evident resource constraints and the likelihood that this hotel operates under difficult conditions, we chose not to request a refund. We felt they needed the money more than we did.

NetherlandsOnce in the room it was definitely clear that there is a lack of maintenance: mould spots, several leaking faucets, cob webs. However, most problematic to me was that the bed sheets had quite some stains and that with the general state of disrepair and (lack of) cleanliness I didn’t feel confident that I was sleeping in a clean bed. This kept me up, together with the karaoke party happening downstairs until late at night (which I thought was probably in honor of the owner’s return). Most surprising to me is that there were several 10-point reviews from European tourists, who stayed here in the days running up to my stay, and that the overall review score right now is 9.9. Either the previous guests must have much lower standards than me, or perhaps there are other rooms that are in a better state. While I can definitely see the potential of the place, with the pool looking very nice and the area being very green, you should also be mindful of the many mosquitoes (near water) and the absence of any food offering, despite it being off the main road so nothing else is nearby.
When I arrived I was welcomed by the friendly owner of the place, who had just come back from Australia. He apologized in advance that he had found the hotel in a state that was less than he expected and gave me a chance to look at the room before paying (it was 10 pm though so it would be hard to go anywhere else). At a first glance the room was basic, but seemed ok enough for one night before a flight, and it had a good AC.
