Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaI didn’t like that I was told my room was an upgrade but we had to get a separate bed that wasn’t delivered on time. I had to walk to the front desk to ask for it to be delivered to my room. Considering the amount of money spent on the room, I would have expected this to be take care of prior. I’m was on a time crunch and we were exhausted so we had to take the time out of our day to get the bed delivered.
I enjoyed the butler service it was great. The staff very nice and the feeling of warmth.

United Arab EmiratesDue to the high demand at the hotel for an international event, the rates were way too expensive, especially for a late check-out policy. We were charged a full night rate for a 1-2hour extension after 1pm. Which definitely sucked.
Everything was really smooth. The room had a personal butler service, the staff was friendly and responsive to requests. The hotel is situated in a good location and is accessible. It was indeed a luxury service overall.

United States of AmericaIt took us over 35 minutes to check in and there was only one person working at the desk at peak check in time. It felt like a very long time to wait with a small baby. All the staff were very nice.
Plush hotel with a great location. Great onsite amenities, the King Cole bar is not to be missed. Butler on every floor is a very nice touch. Comfortable beds and rooms very super quiet considering we were in the heart of NYC. We had three tvs in our suite which was very cool. We were travelling with our 1 y/o. The hotel staff were very accommodating, they made him special meals, brought up a highchair and rolled in a great crib. We will be back.

United KingdomThe reception was being refurbed which we was not told about. This made checking in slightly difficult. The room had some items loose or “scuffed” although very minor we didn’t expect these from such a prestigious hotel.

United Arab EmiratesI never seen a hotel in my entire life that never serve a hot breakfast. Ordered eggs and they told me only we serve cold breakfast. Breads and jams. Why such luxury name and charging triple the price of other hotels can’t even serve a hot breakfast. There’s no coffee machine not enough water in the room. Some 3 star hotels gives much better services than them.
Nothing, it’s like a motel. I never seen such bad service and also no one seems caring about the guest.
