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.).

AustraliaThere’s no enough spots or furnitures to put my stuff there’s only a locket and this room specifically it’s a disaster for this coz there’s was a lot of things on the floor, struggling my way to walking or other guests.
I love the work of the stuff they’re really helpful and cheerful, everything was always clean, the kitchen it wasn’t a disaster and toilets always clean.

United KingdomRooms get hot. Although you do get a fan which helps but can still get a bit warm on the top bunk. Bathrooms weren't that clean. Can also be a bit noisy.

FinlandThe size of the room is very small, it was imposible to arrange our luggage since other's people stuff was also in the floor. The space is a bit tight in the rooms. There are several floors and no elevator The bed pillow was very uncomfortable. There was only one operative shower in the women's bathroom for the whole floor.
The location is great and the staff very friendly. They give you a free lunch in the check in day and there are free dinners. You can leave your luggage before and after check in They left us do very early check in. It is possible to do laundry for 3 dollars wash and 3 dollars drying.

United KingdomWe stayed for 2 weeks, after a week we found mouldy pizza and ice cream under the sink and a leaking bottle of orange juice under the bed.. HOWEVER the second week the rooms were cleaned daily so can't fault them and they did clean it as soon as we spotted it.
5* For Rory & Ella, they are an asset to the hostel and made our stay! Exceeded our hostel expectations. Dinner was fab every night.

GermanyThe window of the room was towards another building. It looked very dirty outside there and it was loud at night due to some ventilation below.
Convenient location, very friendly and helpful staff. They helped me out when I had a problem with my credit card. I am very thankful for this. Bed was one of the most comfy hostel beds I have ever had.
