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.).

United StatesNot applicable. The one thing to be aware of is the check in and check out times, the staff also has a break from 2-5 pm. You can still relax in the lobby and use the lockers for feee, you just can’t check in.
This property is a short walk from the beach and city of Lucerne. You can rent paddle boards for a small fee. It has a relaxing vibe and the staff are very helpful.

United StatesThe room felt a bit like a school locker room, not super cozy. But it did the job!
I loved the location - it’s close to the water and makes for a nice walk to the main part of the city. I also loved the community kitchen, and the staff was so nice!

It was a great location, with easy walk to a bus station that had frequent buses going into the main town. Had a beautiful park nearby and the owners were amazing, super friendly and gave great recommendations for things to do nearby. Facilities were also fantastic and was complete with a kitchen where you can cook your own food and store your things in the fridge which is really handy if you’re not used to the cost of food in Switzerland.

PortugalI travelled with my mother and I stayed in 2-Bed Female Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom. I requested while booking to put both us in the same room. And they did which I am grateful for! It was my mother´s first experience of staying in a hostel kind of environment and she now has high expectations from every hostel! I stayed there during end of November for 5 days and the heating was excellent. Having kitchen with cutlery was helpful to reduce the costs of eating outside. I am very happy to use this as my base for the 5 days during my trip to Switzerland. To be honest, my other stays in Switzerland which were in fact in proper hotels were not as good as my experience here. Since we stayed for a long duration they provided us duvet cover, bedsheet, towels and we also got them changed after two days. Yes, the washrooms were clean!! Hence go for it!!
