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.).

LithuaniaI am giving a high rating only because on the day of arrival we were moved to a brand new hotel with a perfect swimming pool and a spacious room. However, I originally booked this hotel for the gym, and it was a huge disappointment: very few machines, no needed weights, no mats, no mirror, and no air conditioning. It looked like nobody had used it for ages – the windows were left open, it was hot inside, and everything was dusty.
Good location. Breakfast was fine.

LatviaThe building is outdated, the elevator is slow — it’s faster to take the stairs than to wait for it. It’s also hot inside the elevator, and it even broke down once. After taking a shower, the bathroom floor floods. When I arrived, the bed in my room was broken and the air conditioner didn’t work, so I asked to change rooms. I was moved to a neighboring hotel for one night, and in the morning I had to return with all my belongings. Of course, there was no room available or ready in the morning, and the reception staff did not apologize for the situation. After returning from an excursion, I was finally given my room — everything was working there, and it was spacious.
The location is good, close to a bus stop, cafés, and shops. The staff serving breakfast is excellent.

AustraliaStaff are not rude however wouldn't say they were friendly. Room safe had no lock so no safe as stated. When stated to reception that the shower head was broken day 2 it was never replaced or mentioned again. Roof top pool is so small and crowded it's not relaxing at all. Bar in pool area is managed by others so can't charge back to your room.
Location is very good. Restaurants, transport options right outside. Breakfast is ok however it's enclosed in a room which feels more like a cafeteria

United KingdomThe room itself is MASSIVE and the toilet and shower area is incredibly small and tight. You can barely move whilst showering. The room is exactly the same as it is in the photos but I find it bare and without a soul. Bare walls and empty spaces. The vanity table doesn’t even have a chair. There are no other cabinet or wardrobe to prop our suitcases on only the skeleton wardrobe. They have a safebox but without a key. The key was missing as illustrated from the instructions. The pool itself was dirty. There were dirt on the side of the tiles around the outdoor pool. I think it needs general cleaning once a week bc it is filthy. The indoor pool’s floor paint was coming off and it looked like a blue sea grass 😅.
It’s along the bay and there are a lot of restaurants around. It’s roughly 10-15mins away by a taxi to Valletta. The breakfast was great. Bed was comfortable. We had trouble with the air-conditioning they immediately sent a maintenance to see.

AlbaniaThe only thing we didn’t like very much was the room’s interior, it was quite simple and could use a bit more character or warmth. But honestly, it wasn’t a big deal since we spent most of our time out enjoying the island.
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, situated in a nice neighborhood with easy access to everything we needed. There were plenty of facilities nearby, including bus stops, ferry connections, restaurants, and shops, which made getting around and exploring very convenient. The staff were very helpful and genuinely friendly, always ready to assist with anything we needed. Their hospitality made our vacation even more enjoyable.

United KingdomLifts were a nightmare, took ages and boiling hot. We had to get lift down from 6th floor to go into another lift to floor 7 for pool, few times no towels left and had to go get them. No hot water for shower in the evening after about 5ish. Poor finishing in our bathroom and room door was warped and had to push hard to open
Breakfast was basic but adequate. Great location and loved the roof top pool

SerbiaWe booked a doublebed, but they only moved 2 single beds closer and we had a gap between us in the middle of the bed. Room is smalled than what you'd expect for the price we paid. Breakfast is boring, everyday the same and not very high variety of choice. No fresh orange juice in the morning. Towels can be changed everyday but the sheets were not changed in the 7 days we were there.
Good location, close to bus stations for visiting all the sites, also close to Valleta. Bad location for beaches though. We booked seaview room and the seaview is really nice. Those rooms have direct light in the morning, but afternoon you can casually sit on the terrace. There is storage room where you can put your luggage after checkout and your flight time.

CroatiaAfter the room service they picked our dirty towels, but they didn’t replaced them with the clean ones - we needed to ask 3 times at the reception for the clean towels in order we could take a shower in the evening hours. The elevator is broken so we needed to walk from the 6th floor couple of times. The walls and the room doors probably got soaked in water so the wall color is exfoliating and the doors are hard to open and close.
The room was really big and we had a balcony. Breakfest was rich and good. There are pools on the hotel’s rooftop with a bar and snacks. We could leave our luggage in the hotel and even to take a shower after the check out (due to the late night flight).
