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.).

MalawiThere was a leak in our bathroom - from the ceiling. We reported it but nothing was done about it. Of course, we could have followed up on this and chose not to because there was only one night remaining.
First of all, we were upgraded to a bigger room free of charge when we arrived. While we did not need this, it was so thoughtful and we really appreciated having so much space (and a fridge!). The staff were always responsive when we approached them. The person who came to offer for our room to be cleaned was particularly friendly and kind. The entire area was very clean. It was easy to find taxis and buses near the hotel, and there was also a little shop and restaurant nearby.

GuatemalaA bit noisy in the evening. People go to bed late and can hear them talk.
I enjoyed the atmosphere here. The staff was eager to help and accommodate us. Friendly fellow travelers. Near metro and shops. Really clean compared to another hostel I tried, you basically must take your shoes off once you get in. All facilities work properly. I think it is the best value for the money in Dubai.

Hong KongDark and tiny common area. The manager enjoyed watching TV in the dark. My eyes suffered a lot while using my laptop in the dark. I ended up using my laptop in my room with light on. This is not a hostel, but a worker dorm. Over 95% males. Job seekers...whoever... I saw Cochroaches... No locks, no door bell, anyone can come in. But there is one security camera at common area. Room is too tiny. Tooooo tiny. You can not enjoy the free ground in the middle of room. False rating of 8.6. I think workers dorm should only earn 7 to 7.5. Anything above 8.0 must have proper common area, normal size room and good security.
Quiet night. Good sleep. Free drinking water.

ChinaThe store here is dirty and messy. No one greets you after you take money. No one responds to messages you send. There is no store name at the door. You don’t even know if you are a guest or someone who will trick you into going to another hotel on the second floor. It’s disgusting.

IndiaStaying at sphinx hostel was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The hostel itself was impeccably clean and had a vibrant atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. Ahmad, the manager, was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to ensure that all guests had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Whether it was providing insider tips on local attractions or simply engaging in friendly conversation, I left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a memorable stay with exceptional hospitality, this place is for you
