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.).

MexicoI stayed in a mix room, I only had to share the room with a man from Pakistan, but he was deliberately smoking!! All night!!! I reported this with the staff, and asked for another room, but nothing available apparently, I didn't want to confront the guy to avoid problems since there were no other rooms available and I would have to deal with him all night. The staff did offered to talk to him, but I preferred not to, precisely thinking I had no other option. Smoke detectors might be needed.
Staff amazing, Spaces clean, a lot of ways to help to save energy with sensors for lighting, sheets to be cleaned, how to separate your residues after breakfast, etc, all great.

Argentina1. Breakfast is very basic. I would rather pay a lower price and have no breakfast included. 2. There's a restriction to the max number of days you can stay (imposed by the city, so it's not their fault, but that's ridiculous). 3. The bathroom in the dorm was smelly (maybe because there's no ventilation). 4. There's no lockers in the rooms (though that can be seen as extra security; you can still leave valuable items in the storage room downstairs).
1. Friendly staff. They were always ready to help. I had to ask them many times to open the storage room for me, and they always did it promptly and with a smile. 2. The place is a bit far from the city center, but the location is still good, in my opinion. 3. The place looks modern and is clean. 4. The bathroom in the dorm is small, but really nice (though it was a bit smelly). 5. There's a refrigerator in the dorm, and a stove too (but I wouldn't like someone cooking smelly food there).

NetherlandsThere's no hand soap in the toilets, so no possibility to wash your hands after going to the toilet. I'm also not sure how well it's been cleaned as there was a jar of tomato sauce on the kitchen counter, while the room was supposed to be empty and cleaned when I entered and I saw some dust in a corner, which makes me wonder when was the last time the floor were cleaned
It's very close to the metro and Brussel Noord train station. The staff is kind and the rooms have an own kitchen and bathroom

BulgariaThe bathroom was tiny & it's hard to take a shower without bumping into the walls. You have to bring your own towels & you get your bedsheets at the reception & when you check out you're expected to bring them back. There was only one night stand between the 2 beds.
The staff at Van Gogh was very friendly & helpful. They made our breakfast when we had to check out very early in the morning. The hostel is close to a lot of Carrefour shops & restaurants. The room was spacious. Breakfast's included & it does contain fruit as well as ham, cheese, yogurt, cereals & tea/coffee.
