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.).

EstoniaVery important for me is sunlight and fresh air in the room. This did not have them. Room was dark and had bad smell. The way from gate to the door was muddy and had lot of holes. In the booking web is written " Breakfast is served in the rooms." There was no breakfast."
Location is good, small terrace in front of the door is beautiful. Small place is well used. Design has own face. I did not meet the host, info in time.

GermanyThe hotel is quite difficult to find without reception. The heating should have been on a timer at least in colder nights. But the room was not very clean and the bathroom was filthy, with mold spots all over the ceiling, and grainy dirt in the main area. It felt like I was a tenant responsible for maintenance, not a guest. The lack of a sink in the communal area makes it hard to know what to do with dirty dishes or where to clean them
Location was great, right in the heart of the city. Quiet rooms, able to get privacy. More than enough you need to explore Riga. The fridge and microwave were nice additions and offered a good alternative to eating out every night

EstoniaThe communication with the owner was a bit weird, but we figured it out eventually. And again, I would expect the place to be cleaner.
The place is cozy and for its money it is alright. Not the cleaniest place I stayed, but nothing disgusting. For one night its alright, has everyhting available and everything was working.

IrelandEntrance on way to apartment was full of pot holes and not well kept. The room was ok for a solo traveller, bed was very hard and unfortunately the sheet was stained. I found the interior very dated 80's style, could do with a modernisation. I wouldn't recommend staying here anymore than two nights to be honest. Sorry
Excellent location in relation to both the Old town and the bus/railway station. Owner was friendly and helpful

MaltaNothing much too complain about. Maybe if the beds were a little bigger it would better, especially when 2 share a double bed. Though having said that it was comfortable and both of us slept well.
The room was all as stated as described in booking.com. Had all amenities as listed. As for the location it's well centred in the heart of the city. Situated in a very good area, with all shopping shops and walking distance of both culture and historic places.
