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.).

AustraliaAs a female traveller, I didn’t really feel safe here so I had left after only staying for a few hours. Place felt abit rough. There were beer bottles left on the outside of my window sill from the previous guest. Kitchen and fridge appeared dirty, and the entrance stairwell to the accommodation area has a funny smell. I feel this would be suited if you’re looking for a budget and cheap accommodation, however I would have preferred to pay a little bit extra to stay somewhere I felt that was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomExtremely disappointed with the owner/manager when we arrived for a pre-arranged late check in at midnight. As advised we came to the bar for this late check in. On arrival the owner asked for my bank card and ID which I showed him, however he wanted to take this (to another part of the hotel - ?office) WITHOUT ME ACCOMPANYING him so he could do whatever checks he had to do. I refsued for him to take my bank card unaccompanied and asked him if he could either do the checks in front of me either here in the bar or with me accompanying him to the office. He refused giving me an option of either letting him take my bank card unaccompanied as he was asking or to leave and find another hotel and no guarantee of money back for the room that I had already paid (saying I had to contact booking.com regarding that). As it was past midnight and we were tired having just flown into Sydney with nothing else booked and no other hotels nearby, this was not really an option. The situation got very tense however we both kept our cool and remained polite. Eventually (after much discussion and waiting) I decided to give in and handed over my bank card and ID - he went away with it for a few minutes (?to office) and then returned and handed them back (?after doing whatever checks he had to do). It was shocking that he was not able to find another solution when it was clear I was very reluctant to hand over my bank card unaccompanied. It was shocking he would not budge and that he was refusing me the room that I had booked and already paid for. He had not mentioned this when I had made the booking and spoken to him on the phone, if he had I would have most likely booked one of the other hotels that I had been considering, or at the least made the booking with my credit card rather than debit card. Extremely disappointing!
Good room, good bed, good shower. Able to accept late check in. Lakemba is in a very multi-cultural part of Sydney and it was great to see this other part of Sydney. Moreover it was Ramadan and there was a festive atmosphere on the streets at midnight with the street full of people which was fun.

AustraliaYou'll need to drag your luggage up 2 flights of stairs. There seemed to be a party somewhere very close by, there was no information in the room to call a duty manager etc. To rectify. Also makes it concerning if there's an emergency like a plumbing issue, no one to call. When I left at 5am for the airport, the party Was still going on.
Seems to be newly renovated and quite clean.

AustraliaWhen I checked in at 6pm my room wasn't ready and I had to wait twenty minutes for it to be prepared. Stayed there for a week, my room was only cleaned once (apparently rooms are only cleaned on request - nobody told me this at checkin, and the second time I requested cleaning it wasn't done anyway), and for some reason the one time my room was cleaned all the toilet paper was removed. The shared kitchen was absolutely disgusting, looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. The staff seemed to know very little about anything to do with the accommodation so every time I asked for assistance I was left waiting in the bar for ten minutes until someone could be found to help me.
Close to train station. The room was clean on arrival. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Staff were mostly friendly.

It was hard to get in touch with the family back home (UK) When i spoke to the manager called KARAN about the house keeping he said you wouldnt change the bed and piloow cover everyday or everyweek in your house. This was very surprising answer to my question Will never reccomend this to anyone
