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.).

IrelandLack of staff flexibility. No balcony despite paying for it. Moving to alternate hotel restaurant for breakfast.
Breakfast was at another hotel a 5-min walk away which was unusual. However, the breakfast options were fantastic and varied. Best breakfast in Rwanda so far. Bedroom was queen double with a balcony. The room was very tight on space and disappointingly the balcony was a square of ground hemmed in with a wall so felt claustrophobic. I expected a balcony overlooking something! Swimming pool is lovely. Gym facilities decent. Staff are overall pleasant but lack any autonomy on resolving guest queries and any issues that arise. The lack of flexibility with staff for customers is unnecessarily frustrating. Hotel taxi service is great. Pricey, but reliable service.

ArgentinaThe room was a little tight, with very little space to put stuff away. Given the limitations in terms of space, the fact that the bed was covered with a mosquito net was a little uncomfortable.
The room was ok (see my comment in the next box). I liked it had a balcony. The shower was good. The breakfast was excellent. The restaurant was very good too. The staff was super nice.

AustraliaWe booked a room with balcony, but was provided a room without a balcony and little natural light.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Clean drinking water was available and provided twice daily. The cookies in the evening were a nice touch. The breakfast was great (particularly the omelette) with both hot and cold food options available. The restaurant had a very pleasant view and was a great start to the morning. The complimentary massage was also a highlight. Room was spacious and clean, with a mosquito net over the bed.

ChinaThe room I stayed was next to the area where their staff have access to, where can get a bit noisy in the morning when they are there with talking and passing by. So the privacy can be a problem. Then it was not so convinient for the clients at Boutique to walk for every meal or services to the Retreat and Fusion, where one needs to go through public road all the time. Also, they are not providing any bottled water in the room, which undertandably for the proteciton of environment. However, considiering the overall hygiene and health situation in the Continent, I would suggest to keep the option of complemtary bottled water available.
The Heaven Boutique located in a quiet location and with connection to their chain of The Retreat hotel and Fusion restaurant. The room I got was a bit small with basic facilities and a balcony. Food at Fusion was good and their services were nice too.

United StatesA little over priced, especially room service. The room itself wasn’t big so if I had a bigger suitcase it would have been very crammed (I just had a carry on)
The bed was very comfortable with great pillows and mosquito net. The bathroom was very clean and the shower had warm water and good pressure. I loved the balcony and the coffee/tea/biscuits provided in the room. Room service was quick and delicious.

GreeceThe sauna was cold. The hot tub was cold. We had plans for a safari and request a bagged breakfast/lunch. We filled out their form and submitted it to the front desk the evening before. They failed to make our breakfast and have it ready as requested, delaying our 5am departure by 30 mins.... such a crappy way to start an 18 hour day.
