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 KingdomSecond night there was very loud live music in the hotel grounds until 12.15am and I had an early start at 5am the following morning. Music til 10.30 pm would have been acceptable. There needs to be a better balance between the needs of the hotel residents and events used to attract locals. I wouldn't stay again because of this issue.
Mostly everything about the stay

CanadaA small tv at the dining room. Chairs and tables are very short, you have to be binding a little bit when eating. Some keys for the accommodation where missing.
Le location is close to the airport and many other facilities (restaurants, supermarket, bar, sauna and massage). At Martin Aviator you have a reasonable breakfast and a restaurant. You really don't need to go out for food and drinks. Majority of their staff was very professional.

United KingdomMy email exchange with the hotel and confirmation clearly stated what I had booked, times of arrival and departure and the price. I paid on arrival and the next morning I was told that I had to pay another $10 for the airport transfer because I wanted drop off. They said only pick up was free, despite what was stated in their confirmation email. 10pm checkout was also included in the confirmation email but I was told that I had to pay an additional $44. Mistakes can happen but if this was a mistake on their part, there was no apology and I left with an 11 hr wait at the airport. They said that the email from the Martin Aviator Reservation Manager via Booking.com must have come from someone else!
Location is convenient for the airport and new building is very nice and clean

AustraliaPeople partied in the bar until after 1pm and staff continued to talk loudly all night. We got very little sleep after a long flight. We felt a little unsafe as our room door didn’t lock. The room was very old and very budget. Not worth the price.
Close to airport, prompt service and staff were eager to please.

BurundiDear Management Team, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory due to several issues that significantly impacted my comfort and well-being. Firstly, upon arriving at the room, I was appalled by the poor cleanliness standards. There were numerous small bugs crawling on the bed sheets, which resulted in multiple bites on various parts of my body within less than three hours of checking in. These bites have caused me considerable discomfort and itching. I have attached both images and a video as evidence of the unsanitary conditions. Secondly, the proximity of the hotel to the nearby bar proved to be extremely disruptive to my sleep. The excessive noise from the bar, including loud music that persisted well past midnight, made it impossible for me to rest properly. Furthermore, after relocating to a different room in the early hours of the morning to escape the insect infestation, I encountered additional problems. The new room was also infested with bugs, and to exacerbate matters, the room's lighting was malfunctioning, and there was no internet connectivity available. Overall, the combination of the hygiene issues, noise disturbances, and technical malfunctions severely detracted from the quality of my stay at your establishment. As a paying guest, I expected a certain level of comfort and service which, regrettably, was not met during this visit. I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these issues and implement measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Additionally, I would appreciate a refund for the inconveniences endured during my stay. I hope to receive a prompt and satisfactory resolution to these matters. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, Willis

Democratic Republic of CongoThe room wasn't clean and mosquito infected. It is also noisy from vehicular traffic persons passing right behind the window which opens into the street. I don't want to remember the place so I refused to take photos. More so I was made to do double payment.I did my initial payment with my Visa card on the POS machine which multinationed. So I was compelled to pay cash. Days later my bank sent me statement indicating I paid for the Aviator. I notified them and it was resolved.

United StatesDouala isn't a particularly attractive city.
The free shuttle serves both the airport and the train station. So, if you're coming or going from Douala, this is a convenient place to stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, and gave good information. I like this place enough that I stayed her twice and wasn't disappointed. The restaurant on the ground floor is excellent.
