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.).

NetherlandsThe nouse of the music if you sleep on the poolside. It starts in the afternoon till 23.00 . Sometimes everyday. There are working people who stay there.Most guests after cooking don't clean up their mess. A shame and no respect to the other guests
The 4 dorm beds matress were very good. The shower and toilets get every day cleaning. Also the dorms.

United KingdomRooms were freezing and you were not allowed to turn off or adjust the air con for some reason (their reasoning was that it gets too hot, but I’ve stayed in cheap hostels in way hotter places than Darwin and this has never been an issue!), the bar is barely ever open, having to pay a deposit and then keep your kitchen utensils in your room was annoying and pointless.
Good location, nice balcony/common area, nice pool, helpful staff.

United StatesThe staff told me the room temperature must be kept under 22 degree to make sure the room was not wet. I do not believe it. Before AC was invented the rooms were all wet? Due to this reason, the rooms were cold at night and I got a cold there thanks to the hard-working AC.
The room is spacious and clean. The swimming pool is always filled with hilarious spirits. The location is superb to be in the middle of downtown and walking distances away to many attractions.

AustraliaRoom wasn’t quite what I was expecting from my booking through booking.com. It was smaller than I expected and I thought it was going to have a table and chairs as well. Space was limited with the amount of luggage that we brought with us. I was also expecting some kitchen facilities in the room.
Friendly staff, safe location with great security. Easy access to Darwin city and within walking distance to many local attractions. Plenty of eating out options close by.
