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.).

AustraliaLoud music during the night. The location of my room wasn't ideal being right near the intersection crossing. The bathroom door couldn't get it open even though i opened it with Goki but i eventually got it open but i had to push on the door.
It was really close to where i was going to a gig. The room was nice the bed was comfortable. The staff were really nice and helped with any problems i had.

AustraliaThe room was incredibly noisy with street noise. Ill fitting windows. Bathroom door hit the bedside table - if I'd been a big person, I wouldn't have been able to get into the bathroom. Lifts took forever but found out as I was leaving that there were stairs I could have used.
Staff were very nice. Aircon worked fine. Bed linen was nice and clean.

MexicoIf you’re a solo traveler I wouldn’t recommend this place. Yes the place is clean and good enough but if your wanting to make friends and do things with people from here it’s near impossible, iv noticed they don’t have a tv room for people to connect over watching something together, no pool table that people can use to play games together, just a sitting room that plays loud music that you can’t even think over. They do “events” which iv noticed only 3-7 people go to. They have the bar next door that you can play pool at and drink but when you’re on your own you don’t want to sit in a bar on your own looking like a looser. Just that sense of community isn’t at this hostel.
Clean places for the amount of people that can stay here. Good amount of kitchen equipment and space people that work here are very friendly

GermanyThe private room was super small and didn’t habe any window, meaning no air flow. The wall was almost coming down. Showers ok, but not really clean. Check In was ok, but not flexible timewise. The luggage storage room is a joke as none of the lockers are working.
Relatively okish stay for a reasonable price on New Years Eve. Central location.
