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 KingdomNothing in the bathrooms to mop up a wet floor from previous person. But I had flipflops for that reason. The light is on a timer which I didn’t know about and suddenly I was in pitch black, wet with shampoo in my eyes trying to find light. Scared me a bit tbh .
A nice walk alongside the lake from the station . Easy to find. Very clean and staff very helpful and friendly.

SwedenThe noise from the train passing by and the room was very warm are the only disadvantage.
The hotel is situated in a peaceful and breathtaking location. Few minutes walk to the bus and train station. Breakfast and the staffs were good, though the female staff made a mistake by placing a man in a female domitary and even though I was first in the room and already spent a night already, I was asked to leave the room instead of the guy who came a day after me.

TaiwanWhen we checked in, the staff told us that breakfast would be from 6:30 to 9:30. On the other hand, the information on Booking said that breakfast would start at 7:00. However, when my friends and I came down for breakfast at 6:30 this morning, there is no breakfast or staff on the ground floor. I used the phone on the reception desk to call for help, but the one who answered the phone told me that breakfast starts at 7:30. It really confused me that there were so many different versions of the time for breakfast. Besides, it caused us a lot of trouble because we already booked the train to Interlaken.
The hostel itself is great. The room is clean and comfortable. There are plenty of toilets and shower rooms so that we don’t have to wait for a long time to take a shower. The dining room is big and well-equipped.

United StatesIn this hostel, I was in room number 22. Here are the issues: #1) The noises from the train made it impossible to sleep. #2) The light kept turning on the opposite side of the building lighting up the entire room every few minutes. #3) The most HORRIBLE part - I was not informed that I will not be able to access the main entrance to the hostel with my room key, despite informing that I will miss breakfast because I will be leaving very early at 6 in the morning. I went out at 6 am, came back because I forgot something and to my utter horror, couldn't get in. I was desperate because I would miss all my reservations for the day. I started shouting for help hoping someone would hear me. A really good guest woke up and came down to open the door.
Facility was clean. Location is easy to reach by bus. The view near the hostel is nice. I have extensively stayed in hostels across 22 countries in Europe, including Switzerland. This hostel had bare minimum facilities and I am not sure if it is justified even for the price, but that is not my main complain.
