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.).

CanadaMy room faced the train station and the bar downstairs. Window blocked good amount of noise and earplugs blocked the rest. One thing to consider is that there is no AC or fan in the room. It did get fairly hot (28C) outside. I had to make a choice to open a window at night to cool the room or close it for noise control. Wifi was very slow.
Location was great, very close to the cathedral and the train station. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good (no hot dishes, mostly cereal, yogurt and sandwiches). Good size room for the price.

GermanyThe door was creaking and it was quite loud when someone enters the room. I arrived pretty late to the room and had to try very hard to put on the sheets without waking someone up.
New sheets were given on the bed and the bed was comfortable. There were enough shelving and charging points to put your things beside you and also lockers to put your baggage with your own lock. Instructions were given for check in after midnight and that was really nice since my train was delayed.

NetherlandsFor me personally i had a room right next to the showers and the walls were very thin so i could hear everything very loudly. Also The place was usually not very clean but this is due to the guests staying as the cleaning crew does a goodjob when they're cleaning
It has everything you need from facilities to items you can purchase for cheap and the location is amazing!

UkraineIt was a bit noisy.
Very good location, just 300m from city center. Overall it was clean, the door to the floor and room closed and can be opened with the card key. If u want a locker or a towel u have to ask extra for it at the reception and leave a deposit. There's an elevator in the building.

GreeceEverything was nice! Just a lot of noise in the room during the night, the guy next to me was snoring and the people weren't moving their stuff quietly in the middle of the night. We needed to open the windows in order to refresh the atmosphere at some point, but then there was some noise from outside. The stuff was very nice. The bathroom was not clean, but the room, the bed and the locker area was decent. Overall the experience was not bad, but if the people who stayed in the room with me were more responsive i would have slept more than 3,5 hours. I guess this is not totally the hostel's responsibility, but maybe decreasing the number of beds in every room can also lower this risk. 27 euros x 6 beds = 162 euro. I guess the beds can also be 4 in every room and still the company can make profit with better conditions.

CanadaThe lack of a kitchen is a deal breaker, we would not stay there again just for that reason, we didn’t realize it didn’t have one when booking because every hostel we have stayed in has had one (and we have spent hundreds of days in Europe at many hostels). Oops we’ll look closer next time. The doors also slammed really loud so if you go to bed before 11pm you’ll probably be woken up by disrespectful guests (not the hostels fault).
Great location, great luggage storage, quite a few bathrooms. If we weren’t with kids I’m sure the bar and restaurant would be good too.

United KingdomExtremely loud - you can hear every train and communication from the station's speakers that the train is arriving. Loud parties in the yard in the middle of the week up to 1 a.m. or even later. Extremely hot with no airflow even with open window. No desk to work at private room. Expensive for a hostel
