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 reviewYes I went to Selcuk,Ephesus, Turkey for a special event on the 12th & 13th October and was met with a warm welcome at hotel Ave Maria. This hotel is well located and very friendly as they helped me out a lot on my trip and is like home from home to me.
Well there are some things you do not have any control over and it did happen while I was in Selcuk for my 2 day trip that the internet wen't completely on my 2nd day so I could not communicate back home in Ireland, but it was back again before I left the following morning..

Verified reviewWhen we first came to check-in to the hotel we were greeted by amazing staff. They had a parking spot available for us. They went out of their way to ensure that we are happy with everything and enjoy our stay. We were so impressed and happy how attentive and caring they were. The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing, close to everything. I would highly recommend the stay in this hotel to everyone.

Verified reviewThe room was a good size for a single , the lighting and facilities generally good and it had a desk , which I always appreciate.The general decor and furnishings of hotel were good quality and it appeared clean and well cared for.Breakfast was very good .
Oh ,the horrible incessant traffic noise ruined the place .It was right by a dual carriageway through road ,so the noise was loud and constant and it must have affected the air quality. My room ,ok was an economic price but the view was the wall opposite and it got no direct sunlight so cold and dark, and the bathroom was very cramped. The posting showed a roof terrace with table and chairs,this is a misrepresentation ,it was a space clearly not able to be used by guests ,full of washing ,no table n chairs ,and with the traffic noise you would not have wanted to sit there anyway.
First of all, thank you for the feedback. that your room is noisy and if it bothered you we could have given you another room. We had people to help you. Our room with a table and a chair on the site is our suite ( family ) room . We do not take reservations with other room photos on booking.com . We are sorry that you were not satisfied with our economically priced room. but we are more upset that you stayed with us for 7 nights and did not express them. We would like to welcome you again and accommodate you in the family room. respects

Verified reviewClean room, comfortable bed, good location close to the castle and ruins (5-10 minute walk) and to restaurants and cafes. Parking available on site next to the building.
We could hear people talking in the room above us pretty clearly and they were up late at night. We also could hear people coming into the building late at night due to the hard floors and how sound echoed. Seems it could be quieter. Breakfast was adequate but nothing special.

Verified reviewWonderful, friendly run business with a decent breakfast. Went out of their way to take care of laundering my clothes.
The barking dogs, crowing roosters and traffic noise. Also not one English television channel. A room at the back would have been preferable. .
