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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

SwitzerlandIt was very close to the train station (walking distance). The pool was good for me to have a little swimm after such a long flight. Very welcoming staff on all days. I enjoyed my stay very much.

United KingdomThe doors did not have catchers or silencers on so the doors would always slam and be very loud. You could hear it all the time. Pool was freezing but the rest can’t fault.
Very modern, clean and comfy. Bathrooms were immaculate and lighting etc was fab. Lots of ammenities and the fridges are a bonus. Very good location, very long restaurant, bar and pool/spa hours which is very helpful if you’re out for long during the day.

AustraliaThe breakfast options didn’t change over our 3 day stay. Need to provide more milk powder in the rooms - 2 sachets are not enough - especially when you need both to have a decent coffee
The Novotel is a great hotel- 9 mins walk from Union Station and walking distance to the harbour and railway museum . There are various restaurants and pubs across the road and a small grocery store next door. You can take the subway directly to the Eaton centre downtown. The rooms are fantastic , very spacious and comfortable and the breakfast buffet is good value.

CanadaNothing, it had everything we needed , just small rooms but fine for a couple days.
It is such a perfect spot for what we were looking for! With our 2 boys (teen and preteen) for a couple days, we could walk everywhere and lots of great restaurants around us too! The room was really nice and quaint, just wish there was a couch or something. The beds were nice and big, but 1 chair so you had to sit on your bed anytime we were in there. No BIG deal, just for more space apart. Breakfast was excellent and the service was great as well! Nice hot tub, clean pool with lots of towels and water stocked for the guests.
