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.).

GermanyI loved my stay at Botanico Hostel. The staff is attentive and their readiness to help was beyond the call of duty. The hostel’s rooftop is great for having a chilled evening or for doing yoga in the morning. Also, you are provided with an unlimited amount of free coffee and tea, and you can watch Netflix in the chill-out area. Moreover, the beds are extremely comfy. Lastly, the Botanico Hostel is located in the historical part of the city with many of the main attractions close by.

United KingdomA bit more natural light would have been nice in our room as it only had a small window, but I'm picking at straws!
Great atmosphere without being a full blown party hostel. Lovely sunny rooftop area for during the day and a buzzy bar in the downstairs patio at night. We had a private room and the bed was the comfiest we'd slept on in a long time! Very friendly staff who are always available to help. Delicious and v affordable breakfast also available as an additional each morning. Kitchen also very clean and available for general use, though we ended up eating out most evenings as there were so many great options nearby. Property is walking distance from Montserrat, museums etc. Couldn't recommend more!

United KingdomI booked this accommodation 6 months in advance but on arrival , late in the evening and after a long 9 hour bus ride we were informed that our room was overbooked, the hostel blamed booking.com but this was irrelevant to us as we had to pay alot more that time of the night to stay in a location else where. We were given a free drink and the cost of a taxi but it was no doubt a bad experience for us which left us out of pocket .
This is a lovely hostel situated in the Old Town. Big and spacious, kind and helpful staff. Clean beautiful rooms set in garden. Not a party hostel, but has a nice bar and social vibe offering a selection of activities including daily yoga. Excellent cheap breakfast available Good value dor money

The staff was very friendly, helpful, polite and involved. This is what you really expect when getting to a new city. I also loved their terrace. It's a perfect place to have breakfast or to enjoy watching sunsets.
