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.).

AustraliaJust the noise was a little much but I think that is mainly due to my age! :)
I thought the staff were extremely helpful. I accidently left my credit card in the chip machine early one morning and one of the staff found it immediately and held it safely for me behind the reception desk. I could not be more thankful.

AustraliaWhen being moved out of a room from one night to the next i had to wait around until 1.30 to find out what room i was being put into. Waiting this long I thought it must be a vacant room awaiting cleaning. It wasn’t, the room was about full when i got in there so it wasn’t a wait on cleaning. I could have gone in by 11am. This was annoying! But everything else was good thanks! Apart from only crusty tea towels in the kitchen. Should be supplying about 10 clean ones per day on a rack of their own.

AustraliaWhen we arrived at 3pm to check in the room was still dirty from the previous occupants. They gave us a free drink while they cleaned it. I also asked the receptionist for toilet paper and she said that they would it straight away. We never received it.
The room was good value and the position was great.

PortugalI booked in this hostel because it was the only one available at the time. I was a bit afraid because of the bad reviews but it was a really nice surprise! big rooms with big lockers, ac and fan. the bathrooms were not super clean but the level you would expect in a big hostel. and yes, some of the nights there was party with loud sound but by 11pm all was quiet and the rooms had a good sound isolation so even with the party you could get some sleep

AustraliaLots of young partying backpackers and loud music. No free parking around and a nearby parking spot for unloading might be difficult to find.
Location is very central, staff is nice and helpful. Like a normal busy backpacker hostel, bedrooms are busy and not the cleanest, bunk beds aren't he most comfortable but okay. Kitchen is quite usable with some free fridge space. Laundry was easily usable. Bathroom was spacious and clean.
