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.).

UkraineLocation is on the highway, despite that booking says it’s in the city centre. Breakfast can be with more options, it’s just few slices of bread, vegetables and cheese.
I liked the place, very modern, comfortable and clean. It’s even has the room when you can sit and work.

United KingdomThe window in the room can't be opened when the room gets stuffy and warm.
This hostel sets a high benchmark for hostel accommodations. The building is designed as a modern industrial building. Upon entering my room, I was pleasantly surprised by the space. There's only a max of 4 people in the room in capsule- like beds. There's a usb outlet near the bed and a lampshade. There's also a cabinet that you can put your stuff on, but you have to provide your own lock. I like how the room is soundproof. The common bathroom is also spacious. There are 4 toilet cubicles and 4 separate showers. Towels are also provided, as well as 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash. Staff are friendly and ready to assist. Overall, this boutique hostel is nothing short of exceptional.

MoldovaIt was my first experiment at the hostel. And it was amazing, I haven't met such nice staff. This hostel is better than some hotels, it was very stylish, cozy and clean. In the guest room I met many travelers, had a very good time. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

GreeceBrekfast could be a little more diverse. You could only have one coffee,for a croissant you had to pay extra. Location a little far from the city center, but you can access everything with public transportation (bus,trams) , which is very convenient and punctual timewise in Switzerland.
The whole concept of this hotel is really interesting! Industrial design, minimal decoration in the rooms and common areas. Self check in & check out process was really easy. Nicole from the staff was amazing and really helpful! The mattress was also good, we slept very well. Good quality of breakfast choices! Muesli was great,the apple juice also, the bread was fresh and cheese variety was a big plus!

United KingdomClose to the motorway but the windows were well isolated so the noise was not too bad. Selection of foods for breakfast can easily be improved with more jam variety or bread rolls. No hair dryer in the shared shower area. Soap was not available in every shower cabin and in the disabled WC
Easy access to the place at 2300. Nice breads and lovely plum jam which was not sweet. Great coffee. Good pressure shower with really hot and cold water. Heating on in the entire building. Automatic lights. Helpful and lovely staff.

Really enjoyed the stay here! Beautiful architecture, super friendly and helpful staff, clean room and facilities. Breakfast included price is reasonable👍 Although the location is not in the central area, the closest bus stop is just in frost of the hostel, and with provided one day free pass, roughly 30mins to the main attractions are not that painful at all.

IrelandCheck in felt a bit tricky. The pillows were too soft. Unfortunately I didn't enter from the attractive side of the building (which I really wanted to see) - Google Maps took me to the highway direction.
Lovely, interesting space. Quite close to public transport, which was free with the Basel card!
