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 KingdomThere were rarely staff on reception. I got locked out a couple of times and had to get a guest to let me in. I also let in some guests. Very loud road next to rooms
It was simple and had most things I needed.

SerbiaRoom was very noisy, you could hear all the sounds from the street. I didn't like the towels. Hand towel wasn't cotton, terrible to touch and not absorbing the moisture. And the big towel was cotton but smelled moldy. Big closet but no hangers. It's not 24hr reception.
Nice room in a beautiful old building. My room and bathroom were very spacious and well equipped. Staff was very nice and shared helpful tips when I asked. Location is good, only couple of minutes from the pedestrian area.

GermanyUnfortunately the Wi-Fi was bad or I guess it’s limited for the use of WhatsApp and Instagram. I could not download my boarding pass and other applications also did not work. In my laptop it was better. And the breakfast is ok but last time I stayed there it was better. Last time I could eat the typical Pinto, this time only a little bit of scrumbled egg, with three small slices bred and some fruits.
The Hotel ist good located, there are supermarkets, restaurants and other stores very close. Also the bus stations are close. You can reach all by walking. The stuff super friendly, welcoming and helpful! :)

United KingdomWe weren’t pleased when we saw the bathrooms which were shared (fine for the money) but not the cleanest and did not feel so secure. Any guest (male or female) could walk in at any moment. A lot of homelessness immediately outside the hotel which is to keep in mind especially if travelling solo or hoping to go out at night - and I mean there were homeless men lurking staring and coming up to me at 1am asking for some money. Wouldn’t go out at that time again whilst staying there!
Great breakfast for the price - exceeded expectations and good time. Bed was quite comfy for the price and the bedroom was a great side for my friend and I. The guy wt reception was lovely and accomodating.

NetherlandsWe paid for a room including breakfast and according to their website we would make it. By arriving they told us the breakfast was later and they where not offering anything. We had to take the Tica bus at 7.00. Hostel is located at a very busy road which starts at 5.30. ok if you have to take an early bus. I think the people who worked there where nice, sadly it seems that there where no quests.
Close to Tica bus. Decent room, bathroom with a hot shower. Bed ok. Perfect stay for going on the Tica bus.

United KingdomThe room was a little small. Once we got our bags in, there wasn't much floor space left! You get what you pay for, and I didn't pay much, so I can't complain. The location wasn't great... there weren't any bars close by and only one restaurant. I didn't feel very safe when we strayed off the main road the hotel is located on. My bed squeaked every time I moved.
The hotel was an older building, which had a lot of charm. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
