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 reviewThe expectations were higher than the reality. It is a very good hotel but far from being exceptional as compared as our previous experiences in the same price range.
Dear Olga, thank you for your review, we're glad to hear you found our hotel to be very good. We're sorry that your experience didn't live up to the high expectations. We're always working to improve our guest experience, and comments like yours are vital in that process. Sincerely, Aleksandra, Quality Manager

Verified reviewOverall, the hotel is true to the Kempinski name. It's luxurious and the service is top-notch, which is very unusual for Israel. Swimming pool is nice and clean, comfortable and relaxing enough even in a hot day. Although was quite crowded on Shabbat, but not too crowded. Lady in Red service is a blast. Again, true to it's brand. They are true professionals and made our trip unforgettable. Polina and Alice — thank you! You created some special memories for my wife's birthday, and we are likely to be back for that very reason. This is what such hotels are about. Mayan at the reception was of HUGE help when we encountered some issues with our room. She truly saved our trip and did it with understanding and urgency the situation required. If not for her, I would be writing a completely different review. Horizon lounge is a very private and very comfortable place, although I wouldn't count on it's food. But we got privacy, comfort and cocktails, so was worth it for us. Nadia was there to help and was very good with customized requests. In-room dining service is OK and so are restaurants. But you should take into account that, during the Shabbat, many options are not available.
The breakfasts, which are a huge part of the hotel experience, were a disappointment. I have no idea how the hotel got their breakfast award. The buffet is very good, with good pastry, egg, caviar, salmon and cheese options. But the a la carte options are nothing short of a disaster. Benedict was oversalted and the spinach was burned, making the dish bitter. The croque madam was basic at best. The frittata was also burnt and tasteless (photo attached). Also, shakshuka, while a buffet option, not an a la carte dish, was extremely basic. I can swear we had better shakshuka at some TA's 4 star hotels.
Dear Alex, it was a pleasure to read your review! We are delighted that you enjoyed the luxurious ambiance and top-notch service that define the Kempinski experience, especially highlighting our exceptional Lady in Red team, Polina and Alice, for making your wife's birthday so memorable. We're also thrilled to hear about the outstanding assistance you received from Mayan at reception and Nadia in the Horizon Lounge, truly embodying our commitment to personalized service. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding our breakfast. We take your comments seriously and will be reviewing them with our culinary team to ensure all our offerings reflect the high standards for which we strive. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable stay, perhaps to create more special memories with us. Sincerely, Aleksandra, Quality Manager
