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.).

United StatesNothing not to like about the hotel.
The Black Iris is a true gem very close to the main sites in Madaba. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and everything was delicious! We ate breakfast outside on the patio which was very pleasant. We highly recommend this hotel, and was excellent value for money. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. The room was a good size, bathroom was well appointed, and everything very clean.

FranceI booked the hotel for a late arrival at the airport so based on location, free parking and 24 hours desk. So wasn't expecting much but the hotel is actually very nice: friendly staff, good breakfast, close to city center, clean and large room.

United KingdomIn contrast to the fantastic reception staff, the breakfast staff (except for the lady preparing the breakfast) seemed a bit unhappy. This is an extremely small gripe in an otherwise perfect place.
This is the perfect choice if you want to explore the area around Madaba. First of all, you will be greeted by the extremely friendly and professional reception desk, especially S’aa (which means purity). You will immediately be made to feel welcome and comfortable. It is especially good if you are driving a hire car because there is plenty of parking in a secure parking area and the location of the hotel is just outside of the centre so it is very easy to get to. The room is large, quiet and fully equipped with everything you need, including a very good shower. You won’t find a better place to stay in Madaba.

PortugalThe only problem was the curtain with the room, which lets all the light from the outside in, so we woke up really early.

United KingdomAir conditioning positioned over one person’s side of bed. Shouldn’t really be over the bed at all. Fridge not on so water bottles warm on arrival. That’s being a bit picky. Really nice people.
Clean, friendly, welcoming. Well equipped room, big bed, extra blanket, air conditioning. Great shower. Good breakfast. Nice breakfast room and outside terrace (didn’t use terrace). Helped us organise a taxi to airport - nothing was too much trouble.

CanadaGoogle maps had us stop at the alley before the hotel. It would be a good idea to post a sign there with an arrow to the hotel. The only other slight complaint was that the room is quite small. It's absolutely fine for a night or two though. Otherwise, we have no complaints!
This was a little gem of a hotel. Great location, close to the main tourist areas. Nicely updated, clean, with comfy bed. Loads of seating all around the hotel, good wifi and really wonderful staff. We also felt this hotel was excellent value for the cost. Would highly recommend.

United StatesThe hotel can be hard to find if you are arriving late at night. Navigating the roads around Madaba center is tricky. And the road from the airport is not well lit.
The room is modern, clean with lift access. The staff is courteous and helpful. We ate the dinner buffet on our last night, and it was excellent. St. George Church is within walking distance. There is also a modern mall within a short walk.
