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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

i was given a smaller room at the back of the hotel for the first night but told on arrival that i would be given a better room for the rest of my stay
The staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful and the location was excellent to see all the historical places of interest, the tram station and restaurants. It was also very quiet.

As I said, I would not have been happy with the first room, so ask for a room with a front view.
We didn't like the first room we were given (back of the hotel, no view, very small and very basic.) I asked for something better and we were moved across the hall to a very nice room in the front of the hotel with a beautiful view. The shower was great. Beds very comfortable too. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The location was excellent. The breakfast was nice too - up on the roof top with lovely distant views.

I am highly sensitive to perfumes and similar smells, and this hotel had a machine in the hallway that produced a strong floral air freshener smell around the clock. I wouldn't normally mess with things but I ended up unplugging the machine as it was actually making me quite sick and gave me a migraine. If these types of smells don't bother you, it shouldn't be a problem, but be aware if you are sensitive to such things.
Good location to easily walk to and access all main touristy sites, restaurants and shopping. Off the main areas so it was quieter but as for all locations near a mosque or two, you will most likely hear the call to prayer early in the morning. Good breakfast, large rooms.

You had to pay extra for a latte or cappuccino and omlettes at breakfast. They did have normal tea, coffee, boiled, and scrambled eggs available free of charge.
The location was perfect, with lots of main attractions on the doorstep. The staff were super helpful and even let us use their city card to get around using boats and trams.

We had two rooms In the terrace room on the top floor it can be a little hard to sleep because for cooling the option is only to open the sliding door which brings in cats noises. We did not have any noise issue with the family room where there are windows into the light well. The +1 bed for a child needed extra padding but they found us some right away.
The location is excellent - super close to the Blue Mosque and a tram stop. Not right on the Main Street which helps with noise. Restaurants around the corner have excellent kid friendly food (pide) as well as other yummy options. The hotel staff was so thoughtful and helpful. Breakfast was extensive and delicious. Rooms were remade every day. Main beds were comfortable. Shower was great.

Excellent location in the middle of the old town within walking distance of everything including the tram which is an economical way to get around town. The breakfast room on top of the hotel is warm and sunny with distant views and the food is good and plentiful. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and helpful.

Noise during the night as it is located in the heart of many restaurants. I was also a level below the breakfast hall therefore a lot of noise in the morning particularly when people pulled chairs to/from the table.
