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 KingdomRoom television would not permit subtitle ‘Off’. This was most annoying particularly with a very distinct time lag in the titles. No room safe - Holiday Inn stay in Berlin 7 months ago, included a room safe. Given that even within UK there is airline advice to have proof of identity, e.g. passports, driving licence, and it is commonplace to travel with iPad, jewellery etc, it is reassuring to have a room safe. For a stay of several days there should be more than a solitary drawer for spare clothing!

The location of the hotel was excellent, we arrived into Bristol by train, and the hotel was only a few minutes walk away. As the lift was not working we were given vouchers for a drink from the hotel bar. The breakfast was extremely good. The hotel is situated only a short walk from the main city centre which was also a bonus. The staff very friendly and helpful. The price we paid was very good value 👍.

United Kingdommy choice for an evening meal was limited as the ovens had broken so I chose a curry and was disappointed as it wasn't very warm and was bland. It was also quite expensive

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like about the hotel
The location of the hotel will suit people using public transport. The hotel is just a short walk from the train station. Also just outside the train station there are a number of buses giving easy access to the main tourist attractions and the city centre. Because of the train strikes we arrived early and the friendly reception staff were kind enough to store our luggage. leaving us free to visit the Clifton Suspension Bridge before check-in. Our twin room was clean and very comfortable with complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. which is always appreciated. There was a note in the bathroom, offering complementary additional toiletries if guests had forgotten something. I thought that was a lovely touch and reflected the kind and friendly atmosphere. We stayed Bed and Breakfast for two nights. The buffet breakfasts were very good and plenty of choice.

IrelandThe lift. It broke down. I thought it looked very old when I arrived. But I was on the 4th floor and needed to catch a train. The receptionist didn't hesitate to come up and carry my heavy case for me. She deserves a medal.

AustraliaTea and coffee facilities in-room are a little less generous than in the past and the carpets in the room are becoming more stained and tired. These are only minor things, though.
Holiday Inn Express at Templemeads is my ‘go to’ hotel when I’m passing through Bristol. Staff are friendly, room comfortable and quiet, and the breakfast is excellent. Close proximity to the rail station is a huge benefit for onward travel. I always feel comfortable and it’s not too expensive

HungaryRoom is narrow, no cabinet at all, and there is only one chair. It is OK for transient travellers but not for longer stay.
Excellent location, good public transport connections. Hotel and room are spotlessly clean. Beds are extremly comfortable. Breakfast is good, but the choice is limited and always the seem. Coffee perfect.
