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...).

SwitzerlandThe windows were made from frosted glass, so even though being on the 16th floor, I didn't have any view. That was quite a shame.

JapanThe room was small but not a problem for solo travelers. Check your room size during booking if you are traveling with your family.
My first stay at an APA group hotel. I am very impressed with the service and facilities provided at a very affordable price. The hotel is new and clean. There is a very spacious public bath(on the second floor or fourth floor, I am not sure) that is open till midnight. There is also a decent gym(not for powerlifters) next to the spa. The breakfast spread was quite good and the best part is that you can have breakfast even after checking out. The breakfast coupon is valid at the restaurant till 1400 on the day of checkout. Isetan, a luxury department store, and other shopping malls are within 5 to 10 minutes of walking distance from the hotel. Guests also get a free Japanese beef curry(heat-and-eat curry packet) during check-in.

AustraliaThe machine check-in service seemed a bit redundant and not efficient. There were so many staff standing around doing nothing while guests fumbled with the machine to get keys. Zero service or customer service was jarring.

Room was tight but otherwise, was a very comfortable stay. The public baths were relaxing and surprisingly quite big. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was about 10 mins walk from the station and located near a lot of restaurants. For the price point, this is good value for money.

SingaporeThe location is a little further out of the way. Could be an inconvenience if you have multiple baggage.
There was absolutely everything I needed and then some in the room. Check-in can be done yourself rather easily and the checkout is literally just dropping your key card back into the collection box and you're done!

NorwayLack a door tag to refuse new amenities every day, in addition to the "no-cleaning" already available (for a hotel that claims to be eco-friendly they should propose this option) Would have liked to have free access to the dart games without having to buy 1 drink for 30min of playing. The pillows were too hard.
Small but functional and comfortable rooms, very good spa and facilities. Good breakfast with mostly Japanese but also European food.

SingaporeThe room is too small. 2 to a room and yet we dont have the space to open our 26" luggage. Take note , the hotel do not allow guest to have the luggage storage more than 24hrs. As we are going to Sado island for a night, and we request to leave our luggages with the hotel for 1 night and will be back to the hotel again, so we requested to leave our luggages with the hotel, and the counter staff told us we can't leave our luggages, after pleading, as we are all quite elderly, the staff agreed for us to leave our luggages for a night.
I like the Onsen. It's a 7 mins walk from station and bus station. There's another bus station near to hotel ( Bandai bus station)

United KingdomThe swimming pool was closed when I was there, and this wasn't clear from any of the in-hotel digital signage - they all listed the pool as available. Only when I physically went to get in the pool was I confronted with a "no swimming" sign. I asked a member of staff who suggested it was closed for winter (despite it being 36°C outside) The in-room television had its volume limited to 30%, which I found too quiet to reasonably watch a film. (Though somehow the hotel's own adverts managed to play louder). The lifts were frequently congested, and when I asked if I could use the stairs instead, I was told there weren't any.
Decent location - in walking distance of train station, restaurants and shopping areas. Despite smaller than average rooms, they did a good job of squeezing in all the amenities. The sento is very spacious and I never found it particularly crowded. They have digital signage around the hotel (including in-room TVs) saying how busy it is.
