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.).

AustraliaI was on the top bunk and when I got back and into bed at the end of the night it was extremely squeaky so I felt I couldn’t move around in bed much and disturbed the others in my room

AustraliaDidn’t have a towel but was informed towards the end of my stay they have them for a $10 refundable deposit after your say which I now know for next time. Rooms are small and squishy. The room a stayed in was for me and 1 other person who had been staying there for a while so had a lot of things I felt like I didn’t have much room for mine but none the less mostly a comfortable stay and worth the experience for money.
Cleaners constantly around and cleaning shared spaces like the bathroom. Friendly travelers, wasn’t there long enough to make friends but was nice to say hello.

United StatesThe rooms weren’t cleaned. My locker has beers from the previous guests. I contacted the “reception” they said they would send someone to clean & in 7 days I was there they never did. Also some of the girls (who have longer stays) take over the whole room while some of us have to crammed up into a corner because of all the things they have thrown around the room.
The property was close to public transportation

United KingdomDefinitely not enough fridge/storage space in the kitchen and not enough utensils. Unfortunately the staff (reachable through the app only) aren’t always knowledgeable or aware of what’s happening so some things take longer than they should
The rooms and the toilets are always clean. The ensuite in my room was great looked like a home bathroom. Nice central quiet location. Lots of common areas here and there

GermanyI chose a room with a balcony (which was good) but little did I know there is a techno club on the opposite site of the street playing crazy loud music on weekends. Just to be aware when picking the rooms! Also my room was super tiny and did NOT have air con… thought the entire hostel had air con, not only in the common rooms. Another thing to be aware of when booking.
Well organized, great online communication and very quick responses! Overall very clean and well located. Check in and out very easy via GOKI
