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 KingdomDogs were barking throughout the night both nights and very loudly. Our window was faulty so we could not do anything about it and it woke us up numerous times. Also, the location wasn’t amazing. We had to taxi from the bus station and also to the beach. Not many restaurants open nearby but maybe because it was off season (March) - would be good in the future if the hostel had some restaurant recommendations.
Lovely staff, nice free breakfast

United KingdomOne of the days we went to breakfast it took 45 minutes for us to receive breakfast. We obviously went at a time it was really busy so the other days we went at an earlier time.

Czech RepublicHotel stuff seemed all over the place during check in. Room has no A/C and the acoustic insultation does not exist. Rooms are separated by a thin plasterboard wall that you can hear all the conversations and...sounds.. from other rooms. Bed sheets and covers should be replaced. They are very old and discussing to touch. Breakfast could be much better. Scrabbled eggs, Nescafe instant coffee and some old slimy fruit and a sugary yogurt. The place has a lot of character and potential that could be turned into a very nice bistro hotel but needs a lot of work.
In first glimpse when you enter to the hotel it looks really nice. Location is close to many restaurants and bars.

BelgiumThe bedroom was not clean, especially the bathroom and shower which looked like they had not been cleaned at all. Hotel staff apologized but it stayed dirty nevertheless. The toilet got blocked, but that was solved by the nice concierge. There was no hot water in the shower, it got solved for 5 minutes and then it was back to cold water. Internet did not work in our bedroom.
The hotel is well located, even though most places to go eat out close quite early so it was necessary to go somewhere else by car. The breakfast was good. The personnel was lovely with us, despite all the issues we had with our bedroom.

SwitzerlandI had some of the worse sleeps in my life in this hotel. As mentioned in plenty of comments, there are no curtains in the rooms. As a result I was waking up every day at 7 from the extreme light entering my room (check photo). I don’t understand how even though so many clients have complained, there is no actions from the hotel owners. Also, as mentioned in several comments, the walls are thin like paper so expect to hear people coughing, peeing at the middle of the night, or talking. The bathroom was tiny. I also ate a kinder chocolate from the mini bar that had mold (see photo). So far I’m alive. In short, I paid 125 euros for two nights. I had better experience in free camping. Don’t spend your money there. :)
The only thing I liked about this hotel was the friendly staff. The breakfast was nice with home made scrambled eggs but nothing special.
