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.).

BrazilPoorly clean, even the rooms. Only one light for the entire 8-bed dorm, AC wasn’t working properly so the room was hotter inside than outdoors. Many small roaches close to the toilet, the door of one of the bathrooms was broken, so nobody could take a shower there.
Excellent location, close to everything.

United KingdomThe room was pretty basic and felt almost cell like to be honest, it was fine but had no warmth to it really. The mattress was a bit thin and so were the walls but external noise cant be helped. The bathroom felt dirty, the ceilings were covered in brown mould and stains and we had a couple of cockroaches crawling around the room. The kitchen utensils were a bit worse for wear and there were alot of flies around all the food. Just a few things that could be improved
Location of Nomads is great, literally a couple of minutes walk to shops and bars and very close to the beach and harbour. The room itself was okay and did the job, had a refrigerator and a kettle so we could make coffee which was provided and we had towels and shampoo provided too. The pillows were comfortable and we had aircon. The pool was quite nice and the kitchen had everything we needed.

United KingdomThat they made it so difficult to contact the property out of hours. Case in point - a pipe burst in our room at 4 in the morning flooding the room in minutes. We couldn’t go to reception as it was closed with no number to call in an emergency. The numbers online to contact nomads also didn’t work. Then when we finally found someone, he was really slow to call a plumber to one shut off the water, and two to fix the pipes. Luckily they gave me a refund for this night but definitely need to improve their fail safes.
I liked that it was in the centre of town and close to bars and restaurants

United KingdomIt's a huge site, accommodates a lot of people with only one kitchen at the far end which is quite a walk depending on where you are onsite and very crowded at peak times. Some of the rooms could do with cooking facilities or another kitchen on the other side. The large room we were in could do with a little updating and a clean around the edges but main things were clean I was charged an extra 17 AUD for payment on credit card when booking.com advised the price quoted was inclusive of all charges. Not sure what percentage this could have been, probably over 3%, I question this but it was not resolved .
The site was lovely, very central, set among trees, 2 pools.were great. The room was spacious if a little dated. Great to have a fridge and kettle etc. good to have large windows, and we were comfortable. Housekeeping were prompt with anything we needed, reception mostly helpful. Generally we were happy
