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.).

Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our location, spacious rooms, and rooftop pool — and that you found our hotel to offer good value. Please accept our sincere apologies for the lack of acknowledgment upon your arrival. Providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere is very important to us, and we're sorry that we fell short in this instance. Your comments have been shared with our front office team to ensure every guest feels noticed and valued the moment they walk through our doors. We also appreciate your note about the window cleanliness, and we’ll be addressing this with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to improve the exterior presentation of our rooms. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide an even better experience. Warm regards, Rustam Front Office Manager

Verified reviewBreakfast was OK but far from being first class
Although we announced that our flight was delayed with two days, the hotel still charged us for two nights whilst we stayed only one night. The hotel also recommended to book an airport taxi through them at 15$ (USD) but in the end we just took a taxi ourselves at the airport, for the price of 15 Somoni which equates to 1,5$ (USD) so 10 times cheaper arranging the taxi ourselves. We feel totally abused by the hotel.
Dear Mr. Stephen, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points regarding your stay. As per our agreement, we modified your reservation to reflect the change in your travel plans, and in line with our hotel policy, the charge was applied for only one night of your stay. Regarding the transportation, we understand that local taxis are often less expensive. The airport taxi service we recommended is a shuttle arranged by the hotel, which offers convenience and reliable service, though at a higher rate compared to local taxis. We always strive to provide guests with options to best suit their preferences and budget. We value your feedback and hope to welcome you again, providing an even better experience. Warm regards, Rustam Front Office Manager

Dear Mr. Majid Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the billing for your reservation. Your original booking was from February 26th to March 1st. However, we noted that you arrived early in the morning on February 26th at 1 AM. Since our hotel policy states that check-in is considered from the previous day for arrivals after midnight, your reservation should have been adjusted to reflect a check-in on February 25th. Additionally, your departure on February 28th at midnight falls within our policy, which states that any check-out after 6 PM on the day of departure incurs a full night's charge. We understand that this may have caused some confusion, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Our goal is to ensure all guests are informed about our policies to avoid misunderstandings. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We value your feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Rustam, Front Office Manager,
