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.).

SwitzerlandThe shower didn’t work properly and the water was only lukewarm warm. For the first massage appointment nobody showed up (but the rescheduling worked perfectly). Breakfast for vegetarians is limited.
Well located, relatively luxurious. It would never be a 4 star hotel in Europe, but I think for Addis it offers very good value for money. The bed was very(!) comfortable and the staff was friendly. The two massages I had were excellent value for money.

Rwandacold water in the shower
The hotel was in a weird neighborhood, but once inside, the atmosphere felt cozy and warm. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was big and soft. It was a chilly night, so I asked for an extra duvet, which was delivered quickly. I appreciated that. The shower experience was the most disappointing. The water never got hot, which was not ideal since the weather was so cool. I let it run for at least 10 minutes, but it never got hot. There was a bit of noise in the neighborhood, but it was too bad. I was able to sleep peacefully. I loved the tea bags and the kettle in the room. This helped me to warm up after the cold shower and have a good night's rest. I checked out early before breakfast because I had an early morning flight.

HungaryStaff may not understand English, say okay to everything and then nothing happens. They don't respond to emails or messages via booking.com so calling them on the phone in advance to arrange for an airport shuttle is a must.
Friendly staff, nice room, daily room service, good wifi and sauna included in the price. 24h reception where they help you in any way they can. They can also provide drivers if someone wants to get around the city to Entoto or Bishoftu. Exellent cuisine.

KenyaThe location is not ideal for solo women travellers or family stays. The hotel is located within a downscale neighbourhood with either one or several bars that were very loud at night both from the music and crowds of revellers. The bar on the 9th floor of the hotel was equally loud until late in the night. The street along which the hotel is located is poorly lit and is a potential risk of theft and other crimes especially, in the evenings and at night.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Check-in process was Ok although they had not updated my requests as I had indicated on my booking. They offer free airport transfers

BrazilThe hotel really was up to my expectations and needs, considering what I paid in a large city like Bangkok, so I have nothing to complain about the hotel. In general, people all over southeast asia were great hosting this lone tourist!
I enjoyed the room, with comfortable bed and bathroom, air conditioning, and of course the location is great for walking to the temples, also with nice options for breakfast nearby. The hotel is simple but it is also not expensive, so it was a good choice for me, traveling alone.

CroatiaRoom was not clean (6/10) and during my long stay I needed to ask several times for cleaning. Housekeeping needs significant improvement especially in communication with reception which rooms are occupied as they bumped couple of times in my room with no knocking just using master key. Not comfortable situation.
Best thing in hotel is great restaurant, rooftop terrace and food. Chefs and waitresses are great, coffe ladies excelent. Rooms are spacious and good equipped. Higher quality for Ethiopian standard. Reception is working good except in moments when they struggle in English language, but only couple of times during my 2 time longer stay.
