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.).

I recently stayed at Radisson Blu 1919 hotel with my friend, and we were blown away by the exceptional hospitality we received. In particular, one of the male receptionist at the front desk was outstanding. His friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and willingness to help made our stay truly special. He took the time to understand our needs, provided excellent recommendations, and ensured we had a smooth check-in and check-out process. His customer service skills are top-notch, and we felt valued and appreciated throughout our stay. We would like to commend [Receptionist's Name] for his excellent service and thank the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be recommending Radisson Blu to friends and family and look forward to staying with you again soon.

The mattress was extremely soft. You drown in it and results in back pain. We asked for a firmer mattress, but they didn't have it. We decided to remove the mattress and sleep on the boxspring instead.
It is a nice hotel. The room was spacious.

The staff was not very helpful (I asked for water in the room three times, and I only received it after 24 h). The room is outdated, some amenities are old. Breakfast is ok.
The location is perfect, close to every attraction of the old city.

The room we were in had an incredible amount of chair sliding and furniture moving coming from the space above us. We were in one of the suite-type of rooms, so I'm not sure whether we were under some sort of event space but it was almost constant (it might have stopped while we were sleeping- we were very tired- but we noticed it again starting around 6am).
The room was beautiful and huge! The bathroom was practical and spacious, the bed was so comfortable, and the pillows were nice and firm! I slept very soundly! To me, it was the most comfortable bed and pillow we had on our whole two week trip. The front desk staff was also amazing! They were efficient with check-in and check-out, they took our bags, while confidently assuring us they would not be lost in the sea of luggage that was in the lobby for a soon to be leaving cruise(!), and helped us book a taxi to the bus terminal in advance. (I'm so sorry I missed your name but THANK YOU!) The location was also very convenient.
