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.).

BulgariaThe elevator wasn't working so I had to use the stairs with 23+kilos baggage. The doors in the bathroom couldn't lock anymore, because they were damaged by the water.
Great value for the money - the single room was spacious and nice. It's clean and the staff is polite. The location is great - 5 mins walk from the main train station.

BelgiumThe lockers in the room did not have locks. It would have been better to provide lockers with locks.
The hostel's location was very good. It was a 10-minute walk from the train station and had easy access to the buses and trams. The room was adequate. The bathrooms and toilets were very clean. The staff at the reception was very nice and took the time to explain how to get around the city!

AustraliaMy room stank of cigarette smoke, even though it says it’s a non-smoking hostel. It is extremely expensive for how minimal it is. I guess that’s Switzerland for you.
Clean, neat & accessible. Basic but just fine. That’s all I needed.

SwitzerlandAfter I booked, I found out that for the dorm rooms there is an age limit of 49. I don't know if this is covid related or there to spare the young people from looking at their eventual destiny. While I don't agree that there should be an age limit, if there is one, I find the fact should be far more visible on the site. Otherwise you can come into the position that you have booked at a point where you can't cancel and then are offered a far more expensive private room.
staff were pleasant and accommodating. room was clean and the hostel is central to the downtown

United Kingdom-the curtain on our window was just a thin sheet, letting almost all light through, meaning it was bright in our room at night due to street lamps outside -i found that some parts of the room were dirty, the wall next to my bed had dirt marks, and the 2 shelves needed a wipe down -toilets did not have sanitary bin despite being labelled as female
-large lockers in room -pegs in room one for each person -beds had 2 shelves each along with plug socket and usb -place to hang towel by bed also creating a bit of privacy -very useful flyers -price is good considering how expensive geneva is
