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 reviewFunctional and good value for a family of four with 2 connecting rooms with. Shared spacious bathroom. We enjoyed the breezy and quiet location. A little further out from the main tourist area but the tramp made traveling extremely easy and pleasant. Got to see more as we traveled on the tramp. Tramp stop less than 10 minutes walk.
Spacious bathroom but a bit tired. Shower set up could be better, floors end up getting quite wet if not careful. Beds are quite narrow but can be separated so that’s handy.
Dear Elayn Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the spacious connecting rooms, quiet location, and convenient access to public transport, making your stay with your family pleasant. We take note of your comments regarding the bathroom and shower setup, as well as the bed width. Your input helps us continuously improve the guest experience.

Verified reviewBig windows concept is nice and fast elevators.
the shower in the room, not practical at all, entire concept of the room was weird rather then "new". There is no AC - barely no way to regulate the temperature and it was too hot to my liking.

Verified reviewThe staff was excellent and made it easy to check in. We needed a mini fridge for our room and they were able to accommodate us despite our late check in. The location was a little further away from old town than I expected, but they were very helpful when we had any questions about getting around. We had no trouble getting to the airport in the morning. The room itself was super spacious, and the view was very nice. Everything was clean and we had the best sleep of our trip!
Dear Florence Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that our staff made your check-in easy and were able to accommodate your request for a mini fridge. We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious room, the view, and a good night’s sleep, and that our location still allowed you to get around comfortably and reach the airport without any trouble. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay! Your Placid-Team
