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 Kingdomthe bed was a little bit uncomfortable, but all in I would stay here again :)
I stayed in the deluxe double room and it looked exactly like in the picture. The room was clean and there was hot water in the en suite shower. I saw some bad reviews so was worried about this booking, but I didn’t encounter any problems.The man behind the desk was friendly and helpful. The hostel gave me keys to the front door so I could come and go as I pleased. For the cheap price this room was very good! The room I stayed in had windows out into the street, so there is some noise from people walking by but this was fine. The room I stayed in was also very close to the front door so you could hear people as they came in/checked in. But this was not a problem. There are some nice bars just up the hill a little bit more and you can hear the music from them till about 1130 but it was quiet after that untill about 7:30 in the morning when people start passing by There is a nice little fire pit and beautiful view from the back of the social area also

Comfortable bed in a decent dorm with it's own bathroom. Valentina on reception was super nice and friendly, as were the cleaning ladies I met. The location was perfect just off Calle Real with the main plaza 5 mins walk away.

ColombiaMy bedroom was just beside the reception, which didn't feel private. It is not different from what is shown in the pictures, but their illumination makes them prettier.
The location is perfect, in the heart of Salento. Nightlife is not huge there, so it was quite calm and quiet. Staff was kind.

BelgiumThe room is really small, the mattress quite old ( at least it feels that way) To go to the bathroom you have to go via the common room. There is only one bathroom ( including toilet) so if unlucky you might have to wait a while to go to the toilet …

David and Erika were amazing! Very kind, understanding and helpful. Returning to the hostel completely drenched and cold after our walk in the Cocora Valley David lit the outside fire for us and made us coffee to warm us up and Erika kindly dried our wet clothes in the dryer and lent me one of her jumpers to wear, so sweet! Also, nice comfy room, great bed and good breakfast.

Italy- the breakfast was the same every day - unfortunately the window and the door to the balcony were leaky.. thus it was very noisy at night and in the early morning and it got quite cold in the room - the towels (for the floor in the bathroom + towel for drying the hands) have never been changed even though they were dirty..
+ location directly in town + room was very spacious + very friendly hosts

United StatesStayed in a private room and their was zero noise canceling property. As much as I liked this location, it was so difficult to sleep. There is a bar right next door and at times it was so loud it felt like the we were inside the bar. There really should be a warning that it will be loud if you’re focused on trying to get some sleep.
Perfect location, and really cute and cozy décor.
