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.).

New ZealandI had a front single room which was quite noisy with people coming & going through the main door, so earplugs could be a go if your are sensitive to sound. None of the windows opened in that room too so no fresh air flow. The fan in the celling helps.
Great location, friendly staff, fairly good facilities, close to shops, bus stop, and 5min walk to beach. Room was clean. Had a fridge which woke me up… I think I’m sensitive to sound.

United KingdomThe room was so hot despite having a ceiling fan, made it really hard to sleep. Kitchen was very unclean for most of the stay, people’s stuff everywhere in the bathroom and in the fridges. Bathrooms were also very dirty and not cleaned throughout our stay, lots of people’s old belongings not thrown away. There’s lots of rules at the property but they don’t really seem to be enforced re cleaning dishes, labelling food bags etc. The bed was also incredibly squeaky and wobbly and not very comfortable
Great location near Coogee beach, garden area was nice. Staff are really friendly and very helpful!

IrelandNo air conditioning. The room we had was always very warm, made it very difficult to sleep. There was a fan on the ceiling but it just circled the hot air in the room. Not major, but there was no mirror in the room, had to go to the bathroom for the one mirror to use in there.
The location was just perfect! 2 minute walk from the beautiful Coogee beach, lots of public transport nearby. Lovely vibe in the hostel, good cooking facilities and kept consistently clean.

DenmarkThe rating would be much higher if the place wasn't so worn down. Lockers were broken for most rooms. The madress has definitely served its time and should be exchanged. The pod could use a socket. The ventilation in the pod is quite minimal.
Cozy feeling at the hostel. Sweet staff and nice people around. Nice with private space in pod :) The kitchen is small, but well equipped

CanadaMy room was right at the front of the building, right next to the main door and street. While I expected street noises. I didn’t anticipate the amount of noise after 10 pm. The door keycodes are loud and the doors opening and closing are loud. The room wasn’t cleaned super well. The bed was comfy, but not as clean as it could be. The bed frame is dirty on the posts. The kitchen wasn’t super clean.
I LOVED the location. I loved the staff. The shower room was clean and pressure was great! I liked the organization of the kitchen and the commitment to keeping up with expiring food.
