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.).

United KingdomThe rooms got really hot considering it’s not even summer fully yet, no fans provided. The windows even when closed let in so much noise from the street so sleep wasn’t great, especially with the one tiny pillow provided. Communal areas weren’t always the cleanest but this was due to guests rather than staff. The bathrooms are a bit sparse. Overall an ok stay but definitely more of a long term stay vibe
an amazing location, the room had a lovely big window and the fridge was handy too. The room was a good size as well, also plenty of area to sit outside. Kitchen was small but has everything needed

AustraliaThere were lots of people smoking weed in the outdoor area. Big signs saying drug use of any kind is banned but it's quite acceptable to smoke joints. Even the staff were doing so. It didn't bother me but I imagine it may bother some 😃

PeruWhen they vacuum the room, it should be well done, mainly if you put all your stuff on your bed to make their job easier, because it is just once per week, however it is very superficial.
The staff is very friendly mainly the receptionists, they are allways willing to help you. The location was perfect for me, having a parking with no overprice is great and the room was good and warm. Good enviroment and nice people around.

AustraliaThe whole building and facilities were a bit ramshackled and disrepaired but the management and staff are working hard to make the hostel a comfy place. Mattresses were not great, kitchen was a bit dirty and really small but overall you kind of get comfy still.

AustraliaNot my vibe at all - party hostel with heavy drinking, smoking (tobacco and others) and drugs. Super loud music until 1 or 2 am each night. Understand it was the weekend, but I was in a room outside right above the party and it was incredibly difficult to get any sleep. Party goers were however very respectful for the most part and when I asked a group to take their weed away from the verandah at my door they did so with apologies. If you're looking for somewhere chill or to get any sleep, I wouldn't recommend this place, but someone looking for a party would probably be quite happy here. The rooms weren't the cleanest (stuff everywhere, rubbish under all the beds and not vacuumed etc.) I did see signs advising of vacuuuming on some doors so perhaps I just came on the days cleaning hadn't been done... Some more bathrooms would be helpful, as there was often quite a wait for bathrooms at all hours of the day, not sure if this is less of a problem during the week vs weekends though...?
Location cannot be faulted. Right in the centre of everything and perfect for the market and restaurants. Staff were really friendly with all questions I had, as were most of the other guests I spoke to. Bathrooms (when you could get to one) were pretty clean, with decent water pressure and temp. Was lucky enough to score a carpark which is the main reason I stayed on after the first night of being here. Decent value for money considering the prime location.

New ZealandThe room was filthy with other travelers clothes/items everywhere and the room smelt absolutely terrible. Definitely didn't meet the rating that's on booking.com. We didn't end up sleeping at the Pirates, we didn't feel comfortable at all as some of the people there were a little suspect, so we handed the keys back at 11.30pm and went elsewhere.
The location was great and staff were lovely
