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.).

SwitzerlandThis is an economic and basic hostel with shared bathrooms, simple but clean and comfortable. The administrator Maria was very friendly. She also guarded our baggage after checkout time. It is perfectly located in the heart of San Telmo only half a block from the market, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, also the Plaza Dorrego. We did not eat breakfast at the hostel because of the many street restaurants nearby.

NetherlandsAs we were on the terrace it was loud during the evenings. Nothing that couldn't be solved with some earplugs. The stay is more dated than the pictures but doesn't take away from all the positives. We would stay again!
We were in the perfect location in San Telmo. Close to breakfast spots and 10 minutes from the metro. Maria the host was super communicative and friendly. There was a basic kitchen and filtered water. Our room had doors to the terrace and the entire place was cleaned daily.

United KingdomJust to note for others booking that check-in times are limited to between 1 and 6pm, kitchen hours for cooking limited (although not enforced as no staff ln site other than between 1 and 6pm) and payment is cash only. Our room was next to the terrace and wasn't very well sound-proofed so we were woken by other guests using it at 3am
Very good location in San Telmo Staff were very responsive prior to arrival Friendly staff Heater provided in room

IrelandJust that the reception is open only for a short time during the day. If you can get over that then it's an ideal spot to stay in San Telmo. The hostel could also do with some street signage
The location is excellent, set right near the market which has lots of great restaurants. Safe and quiet street. Bathrooms were kept clean and the water was warm.

SwedenThe rooms are nice and comfortable with air-con, the location must be one of the best you can possibly get. There are hired English speaking staff available between 13–18 p.m. Note that the common areas are near other peoples bedrooms, so it's not appreciated to use them when elderly guests go to bed 10 p.m with the window open to the terrace, expecting silence as if they had booked a four-star hotel. Also note that the common kitchen can only be used at very limited hours (for example not in the morning). Be prepared to show your keys several times to the old lady guarding the stairs. A good thing is that you never have to wait for the bathroom, since there were two of them on each floor. For breakfast, you can get a great one at "El Federal" on the same street for surprisingly reasonable price.

NetherlandsIt's definitely not a social place, we were not looking for that, but not recommended for those looking to meet other people. Some weird rules about the kitchen use... Only 1 person per room allowed in the kitchen and why would the kitchen be "closed" between 2 pm and 8 pm?
The facilities are great. Very clean and great location for a low price.
