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.).

MalaysiaNothing really, i just wish they provide bread for the breakfast. Since jam, butter, coffee was provided, why not just serve with bread. 😄.
It looked new. It was clean, and the kitchen, toilets and showers were exceptional. I also loved the independant check in.

United StatesHonestly, nothing!
Wow, what an awesome time. We got a message a few days before, from the Alte Metzg staff, offering a free upgrade to the Boutique Pension — so this review is for that — but that was so random and wonderful. The space we clean, cute, spacious — amazing coffee, tons of ability to cook, close to bakeries and town. Not much to do in the town, but this space was great.

There was a complete kitchen with every appliance, tool, pot, pan, utensil and dish. Would highly recommend to anyone! This was our first place we stayed while in Switzerland which "set the bar high" for other hostels.

This was the best hostel ever!! The amenities and beds were so comfortable and the rooms were very private. It looked exactly like the pictures. The host even let us store our bags overnight because we were going on an overnight hike the day after.

SwitzerlandMy room was on the ground floor so close to the main road so it was a little bit noisy and it was not possible to open the window all the time.
The host has provided us with free coffee. The weather was hot. At our request, the host has immediately bought a ventilator for our room. The hostel was so close to the center of the village. So it was very convenient to eat, shop and visit the surroundings.

Germanyjust a small suggestion is that the pillow is too soft, which can be some better and other staffs can reach a Perfect.
I recommend you to choose this hostel for your stays in Appenzell area, which has a real feeling to live here as in a hotel (even more). - near to the downtown and 3-5 min by feet to take a dinner. - 20m away is a bread house which can easily take a breakfest and coffee and tee in hostel is free too. - fresh, clean and modern decoration in rooms and WCs and Bads. - parking is also fine and prepared for drivers.

CanadaNo breakfast available; I left before the bakery next door was open so I was able to get coffee in the kitchen, which was delicious! But the staff mentioned “ jam, butter and chocolate for breakfast” not sure what am I suppose to do with butter and jam without bread haha no biggies but a little bit of a breakfast options would have been nice Also everything was in Germain ( instructions wise in the Hostel) . I’m not sure I followed all the rules correctly just because I couldn’t find anything in English . But that wouldn’t affect my stay too much. Would absolutely come back Was perfect for a night before hiking in Wassereaun
Very clean, quiet and easy to access from the train . Kitchen available Toiletries and towels available Big rooms with a lot of space Staff was super quick to answer
