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.).

BelgiumIn a 6 bed dorm without curtains. Although there was an AC, it was explicitly labelled as a fan-only room. Only after the second night, we understood we could pay extra to have the AC turned on at night (which was very much needed).
A nice atmosphere, combined with a great outdoor area (hammocks, chairs, ...) and indoor common room and kitchen. Together with the fact that it was a building with different bathrooms (each with a toilet, sink & shower), it had a home vibe. They offer different excursions via their network, which was very handy.

SpainI had an amazing stay at this hostel in San Ignacio, Belize. The location was convenient, the atmosphere was chill, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hostel was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was delicious. They also offered great activities like trips to the ATM cave. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting San Ignacio.

Cleanly, comfortable dorms. AC in rooms on at night (just hope you don’t get the bed directly next to the unit) and fans on each bed. Hot water, clean bathrooms. Very good breakfast. Tours offered are the cheapest you’ll find in town.

A clean friendly hostel where Bubbles makes you feel at home. But a special shout out goes to Jessie. Unfortunately I had flu at the hostel and I became very dehydrated with a low bp. I kept whiteing out. Jessie in her no nonsense way got the staff to take me to hospital.. They waited for me until I said Id be a few hours but they told me to call when I needed them.. It was nice to have someone looking out for me. I cant thank Jessie and the staff enough.

CanadaThere was a problem with one of the showers which caused a bit of flooding and my husband and I helped fix it and we didn't even get a thank you. Not very impressive gratitude as if we didn't help they would have needed a plumber and I mopped up water from the floor for about an hour.
The breakfast was good, room was a good size and bed was comfy.

CanadaWhen people assist you in an emergency you should appreciate their efforts.
The shower pipe broke and was literally flooding the two rooms beside the bathroom as well as the bathroom and my husband quickly jumped in to help get the water shut off and repair the shower. I spent a great deal of time mopping up the water from the rooms and we didn’t even get a thank you. Quite sad
