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.).

AustraliaWe had a lake view room, the first day it was so sunny and it was baking the room. Our room was unbearably hot and there was only a very small window. We had to sit with the room door open to try cool it down and so did many other people on our floor. The room was very hot all through the night.
Hotel was clean and nice. Beautiful view of the lake. The sauna was good and so was breakfast.

SingaporeBreakfast was not included, and too expensive to add on. For the price paid, doesn't seem to be worthwhile.

CroatiaGreat, modern and comfortable hotel. Room was big, super clean and comfy. Breakfast was great! View from the hotel (front side) is beautiful. This location is great for exploring the north part of Iceland, around Myvatn lake and part of east part of the island.

United StatesIt was a very expensive room, and because the breakfast was not included (and was also very pricey) we ate elsewhere.
Really appreciated the coffee machine, mini fridge and safe in the room. The room and bathroom where spacious and very clean!

United KingdomThe music in the dining room was pretty tinny and the layout quite stark which unfortunately gave the area a less welcoming space than it could have been - reminiscent of a motorway stop dining area but thankfully rescued by the stunning view! A couple of softer touches to the table layout and new speakers might make a big difference?
The view from our room was worth the small upgrade...stunning lava field landscape across to the lake and a wonderful 'weather' viewing spot too! The weather changed every half hour (or quicker!) and it was great to watch the clouds, rain, sunlight, mist & rainbows morph & develop, either form the protection of the very comfortable room or on the veranda. Despite it being quite a large hotel the rooms were quiet and private. Breakfast was busy but there was plenty of choice and availability, including for specific diets and all enjoyed with the wonderful view. A great hotel for a base in the area as there is lots to see and enjoy & the staff were always very helpful & courteous. There are also a couple of good restaurants & cafés nearby if you don't fancy the hotel dinner, though the menu was good and the food very tasty.

SwitzerlandAlthough its new, the rooms are noisy, expensive There are not much restaurants around so we wanted to eat in the hotel, we could only get a table at 8pm (no issue), though kitchen closes at 9pm. We were told to hurry up, and half way the main course they gave us the menus for dessert in case we want to order.
Great location, modern facilities and interior
