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.).

United KingdomJust a couple of minor gripes as a couple of lamps in the room didn’t work but that was a minor detail and we didn’t bother reporting them.
The property is perfectly located in the old quarter making everything really accessible and although the outside street is always busy, road noise is very low and for us on the sixth floor basically non-existent. The stuff were amazingly helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was excellent too, so that made for a great start to each day.

United KingdomRather too noisy at night with doors banging. Shower in our room poorly designed so water was everywhere, unavoidably. Dinner was served in the bar on the ground floor. What a lost opportunity.
Fantastic location in the heart of the Old City. Fantastic breakfast location at the top of the building with great views.

United StatesWe had 2 stays, two different rooms, both clean but a little tired and small. The 'premium' room faced the street and had a cute little balcony (with a dangerously low railing) and a walk-in shower. Ask for this type of room if you have mobility issues. The standard room had a ridiculous tub shower setup that is really awkward to get in and out of.
Great location on the east side of the Old Quarter, a few blocks from the main market area. Excellent breakfast, very helpful staff. Hotel will exchange currency at the front desk for no fee. Overall very good value .

ThailandThe bathroom had a bathtube. When I would shower I had to stay in the bathtube. As an old man with painfuul knees I was afraid of entering the bath tube. So I did not shower every day.

CanadaThe shower is a bit quirky and could use a bit of an adjustment. The breakfast buffet was exactly the same all three mornings. Could us a bit of variety!
This is a classic French style property. Choose your room carefully. The deluxe rooms have a ‘window’ that overlooks the staircas, so there is no natural light. If you want the best quiet night sleep this IS a great room. We found it a bit dark with no natural light. The room could use a lighting upgrade which would make it a perfect room. If you want natural light select a room with a balcony. Warning,this will come with all the Old Quarter traffic noise. The hotel staff was incredible and the bar staff took great care of us during our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable! It is easy to walk throughout the Old Quarter. Everything is accessible from the property.

United StatesA few of the tiles in the bathroom were cracked and the stoppers in the double sinks were hard to use.
The breakfast was very good-better than expected. The hotel staff were excellent: very kind and efficient and helped us book the local transportation through Grab and Be. The location was perfect! The hotel was within walking distance to many of the must see sites in the Old Quarter. Our room had a spacious bathroom, safe, hot water available, fridge, hair dryer, desk , TV and sitting area.

United KingdomThe grubby bedroom and bathroom decor, stained shower mat, and worn sheets. The breakfast selection and quality weren't 4 stars. The cold coffee. USB port lamp arrangement not working. Minimal toiletries in vulnerable containers.
The staff were very helpful, professional, and dealt with queries and alteration to our booking efficiently. The Breakfast room had great views from the 10th floor. It was a stones throw from the lake with a good variety of restaurants bars and shops. Beautifully furniture throughout and comfy beds. Excellent omelette.
