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.).

United KingdomOur room had a large window with no curtains leading into the kitchen so it was very bright in there if the lights outside were on. There was also a huge gap above every door which was essentially a hole in the wall leading into the communal space. Our door faced the kitchen meaning that if anyone was in the kitchen, it sounded like they were in the room with us. No noise muffling at all! So it can get noisy and light in the rooms, not great for a sound sleep.
Bunk was comfortable. Had a privacy curtain and sockets by the bed. Plenty of space around the top bunk for belongings which I don’t always find at hostels. Staff were quick at communicating via booking.com messages.

United KingdomA lot of mess in the 12 bed mixed dorm, most people where long term so it wasn’t a very social vibe- I would recommend staying in the smaller rooms as they seem to be more for the short term stays. One of the kitchens was also always a mess
The bunks each had plugs light and curtains for privacy almost felt like your own room. Bathroom were nice when clean. We did manage to meet some nice people and explore bundaberg

JerseyDidn't see any staff in the reception. Nor did you see people cleaning. Only one bathroom had soap and toilet roll. None of the bathrooms had something to dry your hands on. The kitchen was dirty. The communal areas are quite run down, but could be really nice if they were cleaned.
Big spacious area for all your stuff, modern bathrooms, fast WiFi and free laundry, lounge area was big. Good location. The drawing wall was cool and unique.

United Kingdomhow no staff are there, and if there was staf they were rude people that had acted like they were house keepers never emptied the bins nothing was tidied or clean. but at lest my sheets were cleaned. we were all asleep and two of the house keepers came in at 1:30 in the morning in the kitchen opposite the room I was staying in not giving a care in the world to be quite. a homeless man came in to the property and a housekeeper wanted to argue with me about me ringing up the number that’s on booking.com saying I shouldn’t have to worry that all the doors are unlock to the property and homeless people are come snooping. and said how they come in fully knowing they can shower here. I just didn’t feel safe it was disgusting and rude people.

Australiahowever bathroom and common areas were a little dirty and run down. with a quick spring clean and wipe down of shelves etc the place would become alot more presentable. Also the smashed and open front door on a late arrival was a little frightening.
The keyless entry system is so unique and a great use of technology! The beds and the room itself was well kept and very comfortable along with the kitchen.
