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.).

SpainThere is nothing I didn’t like
Very good choice next to the airport, our flight got in at 3AM so this hotel was very convenient. The rooms are big and nice and it is very clean. The bed was super comfortable. The staff is a 10, specially Asha who went out of her way to help with an issue with our rental car and a transfer to our next location.

IndiaIt is a business hotel but no working desk or chair in the room.. but staff did arrange something after repeated requests. Business 4 star hotel, but didn't give 2 separate room keys to 2 unrelated professional colleague guests, sharing a twin room on twin sharing basis Very delayed check in. While the front desk staff were pleasant but limited in their power in terms of how much they could do for a guest, the senior manager who we asked to speak to was downright rude, impolite and completely devoid of the basic courtesy expected from a senior official in the hospitality industry representing a 4 star hotel. Tiny bathroom, v poor fixtures
Very nice hotel, wonderful pool, decent breakfast, good conference facilities, good business hotel location close to airport

AustraliaStaff can be slow. Location is isolated for dining choice. They could make it more clear it is alcohol free.
Location within walking distance of airport is great, but not much around in terms of shopping or restaurants. Hotel in 2 parts with an original building which is fine but older and a new deluxe building and pool. You want to stay there. Staff are great, but can be slow. Hotel is Halal so no alcohol. 27 Cafe, 700 metres up the road is awesome for food and beer..

ItalyThe breakfast is disappointing for the hotel's category and simply not tasty. Everything from the limited food selection tastes artificial, as if made from plastic. The beds are okay, but the pillows are uncomfortable. The check-in process was unexpectedly long, even though the reception area was almost empty. Only one set of towels was provided for two guests, and we had to remind the staff twice. The pool is very shallow, and the pool area feels dull, and not well-equipped.
The hotel is very new; everything still feels absolutely new and clean. The air conditioning is whisper-quiet, which is crucial in a hotel where the windows don't open. The noise insulation from street sounds is excellent as well. The location is perfect for a one-night stay before an early flight or after a late arrival. However, for a longer stay in the city, a different location would be more suitable. Nice outdoor playground for kids.

FranceIt’s a big modern conference facility, so it’s pretty soulless. It has a pool but I saw nobody using it. Main complaint was that our meal took 50 minutes to arrive despite there being only 3 tables occupied. And no wine to drink while waiting - alcohol is forbidden on the premises😱
Great room with most comfortable bed. Walkable to the terminal so very convenient, if a bit expensive, for one night before/after flight.
