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.).

GermanyThere is nothing to complain about.
Even though I have arrived in the very early morning I was welcomed very friendly. I had the chance to change clothes, use facilities and drop off my luggage. I got perfect information on everything I have asked for. Because of low season I have gotten a better room than I have booked. The guesthouse is kept up perfectly and with a lot of love. Many things are renovated like kitchen, bathrooms and at least my room. Because it’s so quiet I even think the walls are sound proved. It's extremely clean. There is a laundry, swimming pool, vending machine. Just everything you need. It’s a very quiet place. Perfectly located opposite the train station and a shopping mall with supermarket. But really the best thing is the beautiful historical guesthouse with it’s warm-hearted atmosphere. I can recommend it 100%.

Good location if you want to visit-enjoy the city but still sleeping in a calm environment. The rooms are clean as the facilities (showers, kitchen area). The staff is really convenient : could leave our bags after check out to enjoy the city a little bit longer, a bigger was allocated to us.

New ZealandNot really a problem but the room windows open into a closed veranda so if you’re a light sleeper just take some ear plugs and you’ll be fine.
Great location. Totally affordable price and exceeded my expectations for budget accommodation. Newly renovated so everything felt fresh and clean. Didn’t use the pool as we weren’t there long enough. Kitchen facilities were good. Aircon in each room is great.

United KingdomCheck-in process could have been smoother. Just bear in mind you'll need to have a SIM card and need to call the member of staff when you arrive. Windows in the men's toilets didn't have net screens/frosting which could help in reducing the odd insect flying in + improving privacy.
The whole hostel was very clean and quiet. The room was cool, comfortable and it was useful to have our own fridge. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped.
