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.).

CroatiaAlways be on your guard. The neighbourhood is downright unsafe, even dangerous at night: there is a favela right up the street, and there has been a history of robbery and violence in and around the area. No wonder almost every yard has a high fence with barbed wire on top. Do not drink the water from the faucet. To switch from cold to hot water and vice versa in the shower, you have to turn the shower head.
The overall vibe of the place was very chill and the other people staying there were quite outgoing, interesting, and colourful. I mingled with other happy-go-lucky travellers from practically all over the world. The rooms were somewhat crowded, rather messy, and hot during the day. Also, there were only three toilets and two showers for probably more than twenty people. Yet, for ten euros a night, I have no right to complain, right? Talk about great value for money. The staff, including the adorable baby monkey Chico, were incredibly amiable, cheerful, and helpful. Pro tip: there is a vast selection of delicious street food in the nearby square.

United KingdomLocation a 30min walk to metro, not the worst but not a great location for Rio. Mattress thin and sunk in the middle.
Helpful staff, good kitchen, good showers, big lockers, was relatively cheap during carnival.

United KingdomBit far from Ipanema. It's a 20-minute Uber ride to get there. Originally, my mattress was a bit thin, but the staff were able to replace it for a better one. Can be a bit quiet. Wish I saw more travellers. Met a cool guy from Germany, and we became friends quickly, but he left recently, and it's been a bit quiet since. I'm actually planning on staying for quite some time and plan on getting a car, which means I can get around Rio a lot faster and wont have to rely on Ubers. But if you're a first-time traveller, and you're looking to find English-speaking friends, you might find this hostel a bit quiet at times. But I definitely recommend this hostel if you want to get away from the superficiality of the touristy areas. Ipanema is great, I study and play Volleyball there, but Rio isn't just Ipanema. And Ipanema can be crazy expensive, some places are as pricey as a store in London. I chose this hostel because I wanted to see the other side of Rio. I still have a lot more to see in Rio.
The location and low cost. I stayed in Rio in 2022 and didn't leave the Ipanema, Copacabana, and Centro areas. Wanted to see the other parts of Rio, where the "real" Cariocas live, so I picked out a hostel closer to the north zone. The low cost means I can travel in Brazil for longer.

United StatesThe storage space in the bedrooms was insufficient. There were hardly any shelves/drawers/lockers to store belongings. Also, there only bring a total of two toilets for the entire house caused some issues. There were often long lines waiting to use the bathroom.
The owners and staff were all lovely. They were a pleasure to interact with, and they made the hostel have a nice, cozy family atmosphere.

SwitzerlandEverything; it’s dirty, bed not prepared, bunkbeds are old and noisy. The mattress is so uncomfortable and the fan is so noisy, I didn’t sleep the whole night. It’s far from the city center. The staff doesn’t speak English. I waited over 20 minutes for someone to come to check me in. It’s a very old house which is falling apart. The wifi didn’t work and it was so stinky, I had to stuff paper in my nose to bear the smell. YOU SLEEP BETTER IN THE STREETS OF RIO!
