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.).

Verified reviewLocation. Food. Cleanliness.
I didn’t have WiFi in 301 the entire month I was there. The water wasn’t hot at all. I explained that to the staff and nothing was done about it. This didn’t happen last visit so I didn’t know why it was like this for 28 days.
Thank you for your review, I'm so sorry to hear that you experienced issues with WiFi and hot water during your stay in room 301. I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this caused. I've investigated the matter, and it seems that we may have had a technical issue with the WiFi router or connectivity on that floor. I'll make sure to escalate this to our IT technical team to prevent such issues in the future. Regarding the hot water, I apologize for not addressing the issue promptly when you reported it to our staff. I'll speak with the team to ensure that we provide better service and maintenance in the future. I hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the service you deserve. We look forward to more patronage from you.

Verified reviewCheckin was really great. Friendly, efficient and professional staff. Room service was very efficient
Breakfast was cold. Restaurant staff kept loudly repeating everyone's room number. For privacy and safety reasons that shouldn't happen. As a solo traveler it made me uncomfortable.

Verified reviewI liked the spacious deluxe room. The bed is very comfortable. There's a nice desk and mirror, and a large wardrobe for storing clothes. The bathroom is nice, too. And the room was very clean. I also like the sitting area, refrigerator, and nice big windows to let in natural light. And the mood lights in the ceiling. I also liked the pool and restaurant. The food is good, and the service is good too.
There was a mix-up about my reservation when I arrived to check in at 12:00 PM. on April 19. My reservation was for the Watercress Hotel and Events. The person at the front desk couldn't find my reservation, even though I showed him the confirmation number on Booking.com. He sent me to the Signature Hotel next door. I waited an hour or more before they checked me into that hotel. I wasn't happy with the room they gave me because it wasn't the room I booked. I called reception and spoke to the manager to let him know. He then had someone come and move me to the room I booked in the hotel that I booked. It was very chaotic that day because there were lots of weddings taking place. However, that was no excuse. I felt the hotel was overbooked, and he was trying to blow me off. I shouldn't have to make demands to get the room that I booked.

Verified reviewThe Watercress Hotel was conveniently located close to the airport 🛫. My room was spacious and quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. I particularly liked the mood lighting in the ceiling. The breakfast buffet was adequate. They also have an extensive menu in their restaurant with lots of good choices. The staff is also very friendly.
