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.).

GermanyThe place was clean and had free wifi. The staff was quite helpful during checkin and checkout, too. The hostel is also located rather close to the scientific facilities of Jena, such as the Fraunhofer IOF. The price was very affordable.

GermanyThe bathroom are so far from our room. :( The toilet got no tissue at night. The location is a little bit far from the bus station. Don’t bring to much luggage if you come with no car. Because you have to hike uphill. :)
The room are very big! The accommodation is very clean. The staff are also very friendly. For the late check out we can still get our key :) without any further charge.

United StatesLong walk from bus stop. Cockroach chilling on bathroom sink. Showers were not cleaned regularly, something that looked like blood was on the shower floor and not cleaned during my stay there. They do not clean regularly between the beds and the wall. Breakfast was way too expensive 8€! Not much privacy in the showers.
Had a nice room to myself. Great view of the surrounding countryside. Staff were very nice. Nice big room.

GermanyLack of sockets. You don't have any of them by the bed. Blankets could be just 20 cm wider and longer and it would be fine, otherwise you struggle to sleep, if you're 187 cm tall like me and over.
Friendly and helpful receptionist. Quiet atmosphere as well as the location. Big parking lot.

UkraineNo facilities in the room. Need to go to common facilities quite a far on the floor. The room itself looks like soviet era common room for 4 students and furnished in that 40 years old style without anything except beds, table, chair and closet. Noisy neighbors to be expected.
This is the cheapest offer in the area.

AustraliaThe bathroom was stinky and some of the showers were broken. Is not so close to the city center (half hour walk, mostly uphill) and there is no public transport to the place. If you are carrying a lot of luggage you should go by taxi.
The room was comfy, nice view through the window. There's a nice chill area. I didn't use the dinning area and kitchen but there is one and you could use a microwave or heat water for a tee. Breakfast was also nice.
