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.).

FinlandIt's so expensive. €40 almost for a simple bed and crappy breakfast? Give us a break man. The whole point of staying in a hostel is cheap and cheerful accomodation. Not even shower foam in the showers. Towels need to be rented. No lift for wheelchair access. No nearby parking.
The lockers were essentially free as the coin can be returned. The location was great and easy to find near the big castle of counts. The system of putting on your own sheets and taking them off was great too. Electric sockets and light by the bed were convenient. Great big windows and dark curtains to help sleep.

BelgiumBreakfast only until 9:30 is very early for a hostel. 10:00 is the standard and catering more to the demographics of hostel guests

PortugalSeriously - need covers for the duvets. Gross to think these are shared everyday without. WiFi in our room on second floor was bad, one bar. Staff on check in didn’t really know any info, maybe she didn’t work there regularly Breakfast was basic but ok, breakfast staff very nice.
Second time staying - most affordable and comfortable place close to the center.

ChileThe rooms are really hot and it's impossible to open the windows properly. The breakfast is kind of simple. Also I didn't know how to report annoying drunk people during the night. The next day I was informed there was a number to call, but it was kind of late to do that.
The location and the staff. Elka, at the reception (sorry if it is misspelled), was really helpful and kind.

United KingdomNot much i did not like, but i would have preferred if there was a way to cook things besides the microwave. Storage space in the rooms could be bigger but is already satisfactory.
Did not have a chance to eat breakfast, but check in and check out were easy considering we arrived early and had to check out in the early morning. I like that we were able to store our bags in a secure locker before check in. Location is in a nice quiet spot not too far from the city centre.

GermanyThe walls are a bit hear-through and I'd prefer a bit more privacy (curtains at the beds). Some coat hangers would be nice, I only saw a few hangers for towels in the bathroom.
Central location and very clean. The staff is nice and the good breakfast really surprised me. There was no handsoap in the bathroom when I arrived, but the receptionist quickly resolved this.
