How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was a great stay and met my expectations
The valet parking was billed twice and I had to make a couple of calls to rectify, so it shouldn't be that difficult

Verified reviewI think the only thing I liked about this hotel was its location, nothing else. Maybe also the fact that it had industrial air conditioning and the room was always cool.
The cost of a room was too high considering the quality-price ratio. I paid $2,200 for seven nights' accommodation with breakfast, being charged every day for ‘city tax’ and ‘state tax’, taxes that in Europe are administered once, not every day. In addition to this huge cost, I was also charged approximately $500 for possible damage, wow. I have never encountered anything like this anywhere in Europe, not even in China, and I have been almost everywhere, but I have never seen anything like this anywhere else. The breakfast was poor, just an omelette with pressed ham, a normal omelette, fried potatoes, some pan-fried vegetables, bacon almost burnt in oil and some small sausages that were good. As for fruit, there were only apples and, depending on the day, if you were lucky enough to get there at breakfast time, melon or pineapple. There was cereal with milk, but many of us had been weaned off it + we didn't want to consume all the sugar in American cereals. The window didn't open, and in the morning, starting at 6:00 a.m., the workers came to the construction site next door and you couldn't sleep because of the noise they made. The room wasn't cleaned properly, and I'll show you that because I took a picture of my socks after wearing them for a few hours in the room. The bathroom was bad because you had to turn on two taps at the sink to wash your hands with lukewarm water. The shower head was fixed and you couldn't wash your bottom properly, which is disgusting and annoying for Europeans, because in our country the shower head can be held in your hand. Also, I paid for a room with a view of the Capitol, and the receptionist lied to me that it had a view of the Capitol, but in order to see the Capitol, you had to crane your neck to see it from the window. My room had a door leading to an adjoining room, and I couldn't sleep because of the noise coming from the other room under the door.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect for my work trip. It was easy to walk wherever I needed to go. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant had a good menu.
The valet parking was stupidly expensive.

Breakfast is very pricey. Theres barely an exhaust fan in the bathroom. The water pressure is so weak. Taking a quick shower is impossible.

Had lots of issues after my stay and the staff was awful. My credit card got charged twice and I had to call Hilton 3 times to get it fixed. Each time the staff was rude and acted like they were doing me a favor by getting it fixed
