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.).

CanadaNot very clean, :( Showers had mold up in the corners. This caused me to have horrible allergies the whole time we were there(very itchy eyes, bad cough, sneezing, stuffy nose, etc.) This totally could’ve been a personal thing but just wanted to put it out there :)! The percolator coffee machine in the kitchen also had mold and a dead cockroach in it as well. :(
Great location! It was easy to walk to the marina and to Cairns Central! The owner was nice and the people in the hostel were very nice!! Good price :)!

FranceIf you want to party or stay up late, not the best place to go as you have to be quiet around 10pm. But still good to relax!
Different kitchen and bathroom, nice private room (dorms too if it’s for few nights). Good location to be near central but a bit far from the esplanade

United KingdomNot sure if it’s made clear but we stayed in a room with private bathroom and this does not include a toilet, you only get a small shower and sink. We found ants in our room but not sure if this is just due to the location.
Location was good for the price, very near everything. Staff was very helpful in suggesting things to do.

AustraliaOur room was very far from bathrooms which for the most part was fine apart from when there was a storm and we had to run outside to get to our rooms and back
The hostel is spread over two houses so it’s never busy in the kitchen or common spaces. It was very chilled which was lovely, no loud groups. There was always people cleaning which was good

United KingdomUnfortunately the shared facilities were very unclean. The pool was disgusting and looked completely unused because of this. sadly the pool was one of the reasons we booked this particular property. The kitchen and bathroom were also disgusting and no freezer in kitchen which we thought was odd.
The room we stayed in was very nice a roomy and the air con worked well. the location was also good, but unfortunately the air con and ceiling fan were dirty.

Roz and Marco were fantastic hosts. They made sure I had everything I needed. They kept my really big suitcase for a couple of nights while I went out to the Great Barrier Reef. The room was really well-equipped for the heat. I was very comfortable.
