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.).

EstoniaI would expect better English skills at least from the reception staff.
The hotel is very well kept and in a great location. The room was spacious, beds very comfortable, service impeccable and the hotel has the best breakfast I have ever seen anywhere, with three kinds of fresh juices to start with and such a wide variety of local and international foods. Also the pool was decent-sized, plus the clients could use a spa with two kinds of saunas and a jaccuzi.

CanadaLack of hot water, the shower itself was kind of clunky. There was SOME road noise at night but no more than would be expected while staying in the city
The check in was easy and we were given a complimentary drink ticket for the sports bar "Strikers" in the hotel. Parking was a breeze, although it is pretty busy to get to the hotel itself. The hotel decor was quite dated but had a very classic/elegant feel to it. Everything with gleaming and clean. The pool, coffee shop, Churchill's cocktail bar and the sports bar were all lovely. I did not use the gym but peeked in and it looked clean and large with lots of weights/machines to use. Beds were very comfy!

United KingdomThe rooms need to be refurbished… The fittings were very old and dated. My key card had to go in and out at least 5 times to use the lift or enter my room, even after a key change. The wallpaper in my room and bathroom was peeling at the edges. The electrics weren’t wired well, so turning off my lamp would turn off the main light and the charger port… didn’t affect my stay and the service did make me ignore the state of the rooms.
The staff were amazing, very professional and incredibly helpful. The breakfast was great and there was a huge selection to choose from. The bed was so so comfortable and everything was very clean.

United KingdomCould have restocked the fridge.
We had a king deluxe with access to the Premier room for refreshments. We're vegan and so the food offering in the premier room wasn't really for us, but they have good beer and soda selections. Liquor based drinks are a bit strong so we always split them and added more mixer. Breakfast was ok for vegans, good for vegetarians and looked very good for omnivores. You can eat inside or pool side. The room was large and very comfortable. The shower was hot with good pressure. There is a hairdryer and mirrors outside of the bathroom (and mirrors inside the bathroom, of course) which makes it easier for 2 people to get ready at the same time. Our only complaint is that there was no water provided on the first night and the fridge wasn't stocked. Reception, bar, and door staff were all very friendly. Vegans might struggle to eat dinners here. In terms of location, there are many good restaurants as well as museums within waling distance and we felt safe walking to and from them. Overall, pleasantly surprised and would choose it again if we returned.

A high end hotel in a high end part of the city. Our original room was on the first floor and there were lots of parties going on in the lobby. The hotel helped us change the room to the highest level and it's much more quiet other there.

New ZealandI guess due to the age of the building the rooms can be a little damp but it wasn't a problem for us.
Barcelo is a super nice hotel, the gym is quite elaborate and has a lot of machines and free weights. The breakfast was delicious and had a lot of options. The bar downstairs also had some local alcohols you can try in cocktails. It's quite well located in the city close to shopping malls and bars around, and there are a lot of nice restaurants close also. The rooms are also very large and beds are very comfortable.
