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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesLive baby cockroach in the shower was off-putting, a partially-eaten slice of pizza was shoved in the lamp that teetered on top of the microwave. There was a whad of pink gum stuck to left of microwave. The XFinity cable box didn't function so I couldn't watch anything. The light would blink repeatedly & then timed out/shut off. There was a tangled mass of overloaded extension cords & adaptors plugged into a power strip (fire anyone?) The toilet ran & ran & only stopped when I lifted the tank lid & manually lifted to float (after every flush). Bathroom light/fan were married & noisy...couldn't have one w/o the other. Shower knobs/Temperature difficult to regulate without extreme fluctuations. Clerk prepared room by putting on the heater before showing me to the room (it was a warm day so I found it kinda strange). I realized it was to cover the sound of the incessantly-running toilet. Took some time, trial & error to turn on the A/C as several buttons were worn through the front electrical panel & the sone no longer readable as to their function.
Location was close to Stanford medical community. Convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants within a short distance. Check in staff was very nice & tried to make a good impression...offering to carry my bags up the stairs for me. I declined as I had only a small bag,etc. Desk space was nice, internet signal operational. Bathroom towels were clean & bright.

BelgiumThe place is run down and old. It needs refurbished. Floor is linoleum and wasn't entirely clean (but easy to clean if they wanted to!). Bedside table wasn't clean either. Bathroom was clean and plenty of towels. But the whole place was out of date and needs renovated. Airco unit old and noisy. Location not great (no view, curtains need to be closed permanently, or else other guests see right into the room. Street noises from the busy El Camino Real. So keep windows closed too. No coffee/tea machine in the room nor in the reception. Reception still closed (COVID).... bit strange for a hotel. Check via a counter (window).
Friendly staff at check-in. Parking + TV set is OK. We did not use them but there was a fridge and microwave in the room too. Bed was good and big (King). But we were cold the first night as there was only one thin blanket. We asked an extra blanket the next day and got that delivered.

United StatesThe facilities are not good. Parking is tight and very difficult. The rooms were sketch. Our bedspread had cigarette burn holes in it and the bathroom had a hole in the door. All hotels in the area are pricey. This place is affordable but not ideal. My partner would not sleep here, we ended up leaving after we saw the room. In a pinch it will do but I would be wary of cockroaches here. However the staff was nice. They do not have a lobby, you speak to the front desk through and outside window with a mic. Also no elevator. Chances are you will carry your luggage up outdoor stairwell. I can’t see how this place could be accessible for someone with mobility issues.
Staff was extra friendly.

United StatesThe room was very conducive towards working from my room. I am a writer and artist and the room became my studio with good table space. Being a corner room I had good natural lighting. Staff was excellent during the night of the one hour blackout, coming to each room to explain and see that we were OK.
