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 StatesThe bathroom had hair on the floor and the beds were not comfortable they were hard as a rock.
The room was clean. And it was decently priced. We had our own private bathroom. They give you a towel a blanket and a small bar of soap which helped.

United Kingdomthe area was very rough, lots of drug addicts outside and people hanging around on street corners so be aware if you’re a solo traveller. they also charge this hotel by the hour & we were joined at reception by a female checking in with her “client”.
location is right next door to the bus station which was a blessing for us as we had heavy luggage. Our room was very clean so for those two reasons I would recommend this hotel.

TurkeyCan be noisy. They rent the rooms hourly but it doesn't affect our stay. I dont suggest staying more than one night.
At first, they did not allow us to check in because of electricity has gone but the women at the reception was really helpful and she helped us to check in. It was very close to Ticabus terminal. Very clean.

We arrived with the bus at 10pm! I liked the location door to door to the Transnica bus from Nicaragua. The bed was cleaned, The staff was helpful and friendly, clean sheets, towels and a bathroom that worked. If you're a backpacker and just stopping for a night, it works :) For everyone - they also run a room per hours, so you get a sense of what type of hotel this can be.

PanamaThe location worked for me but it will not be right for everybody. It is not the sort of area to walk around at night. The bed had a hair on it and there were some stains on the sheets- this was my biggest criticism. The pillow cases and towel I was given were fine.
I was hesitant to stay here because of the low reviews but I actually had a good stay. I thought it was excellent value ($20). Also the location was excellent for me because it was walking distance from the Tica Bus station when I arrived and walking distance to the bus station that takes me to the airport. The staff were friendly. Check-in was easy. The room had a warm shower.

United KingdomThe area isn’t the best, lots of street activity at night, I was told not to walk around by myself. so even though I booked the room so I could walk to & from the bus station I ended up getting taxis both ways.. but I never had an issues when I went out for dinner alone (just around the corner)
Close to the bus station if you are on a budget, good value for money, window in the hall so you can check out the street activity.
