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.).

SingaporeDuring dinner hours some guests were cooking heavily and occupied many pots and have to wait for very long. Not Hostel issue it’s the guests behaviour.
Easily accessible and near to everywhere. Overall very clean. The staff were very kind to add a fan in the room as weather was getting warmer on my 2nd day’s stay.

SomaliaThis hotel is not only affordable but also offers a pleasant stay. The premises are kept clean and tidy, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Its prime location is in close proximity to the United Nations main offices and other international NGOs, making it a convenient choice for those on business trips. Public transportation options to and from these offices are easily accessible from the hotel. Additionally, the hotel is situated near Geneva Lake, providing guests with a scenic view and access to various water activities. There are also numerous supermarkets and restaurants located in the vicinity of the hotel, making it a convenient base for travelers.

TaiwanThe bed is too soft, and there are two bathrooms that I were used, the door can't close properly, and one of that the light wasn't work properly, but it is not a really big deal for me personally
The room is clean, socket is near the bed, shared bathroom and toilet are clean. Good location, about 5 mins walk to Geneva train station, and supermarket nearby, easy to find the food, the common kitchen is quite nice, but too less utensils, there were many people cooking at dinner time, recommend buy your own food to have it in the kitchen.

FinlandThere can be some really annoying noise from some mechanical work on the street just outside the window in the early morning, though it doesn't last for long.
It is nicely located, close to all kinds of facilities, e.g., cental station, restaurant, river, LiDL, souvenir shop, etc. And I met some wonderful flatmates there, an impressive experience.

CanadaThere were people outside every night of my stay… they were very noisy, so it was hard to sleep. However, the location is very convenient because it is close to the train station. There were guests who were clearly past the posted age limit, and as a 20-something woman, it made me uncomfortable to share bathrooms with white-haired men and see them right when I come out of the shower…
Everything is clean and organized. the bathrooms in particular are well-kept and cleaned regularly. And there are enough for everyone (which is not the case at some other hostels). The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful!

United KingdomRoom is very small. Difficult to get in and out of the door. Press shower is good for saving water but useless when shower isn't that hot so have to almost keep 1 hand on it to keep it warm. Room very stuffy so had to keep window open but construction work going on outside all night on a Saturday night. Was expecting some noise from party goers but not construction so sleep was not great. Had rude check in staff who thought that a driver's license did not apply as ID. Even though it's valid ID throughout the world
Clean. Comfy beds. Great location. Easy check in and check out

SwitzerlandKinda cramped rooms, I was in a three bed room which was just a single bed and a bunk bed crammed into a small room. Somewhat pricey but that's too be expected from Switzerland.
Right near the station and a nice place where some locals gather. I was only there for one night since I got held up in France due to strikes but they kept my reservation and let me check in early when I did finally arrive the next day. Nice staff and place was very clean.
