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 outlets werent the best placed and there were none that would easily reach the bed. The area can be noisy at night, but it makes sense since its a central location. You do have to be in the hostal by 12 since there are no keys to the front door given out. The area isnt the sfesr after dark so it is probably for the best.
The workers were very kind and communicative. The room itself was small but exactly what I needed. Ir was clean and had a nice view to the plaza.

IsraelThe bathroom was a different room but in the same space (its walls went about halfway to the ceiling) so there was not enough privacy in there, the smell got out, and there was some mold on the ceiling.
Location was good, right in the downtown area. Breakfast was good as well.

One staff member very nice, the other a little weird, but both trying to be helpful. House itself has character and might be considered beautiful.

MauritiusBreakfast service is too late. (Not practical when you have a long trip and need to leave early) Taxi cannot park conveniently in front of the hotel. (A few times the taxi waited a bit further away past the arch. If they come in front of the hotel, police asks them to move off.) There is no lift for the luggage (but the reception person can help to get the luggage upstairs.) The patio outside is lovely but not tidy. ''Ladies'' hanging around on the steps close to the hotel and that creates an unpleasant atmosphere in the evening for a few hours. (But they do not come in this hotel.)
It is not far from La Ronda and the Cathedral is beautiful to visit. Local bus/tramway is not too far. Close to several museums also, Safe hotel to stay in. Luggage safely stored. (Two storage places available.) Laundry service available (the clothes are weighed and the cost is per pound.) There are restaurants and shops close by. And it is easy to catch a taxi if you know in which direction you need to go. Good information available at the reception and practical items are there for loan or purchase (chargers, water bottles etc).

United KingdomThe rooms could do with a little freshen up, but for this price, you can’t complain. The noise at the front of the building in the early evening- but you soon get used to it and it does quieten down later at night.
The staff are amazingly kind, helpful and friendly, and will go out of their way to ensure you have a good stay. They even sorted our 5am taxi and got up to unlock the door for us. The free breakfast is simple but good (juice, coffee, eggs and croissant) but it’s close to restaurants if you’d prefer. The garden was a nice touch on a sunny day. The rooms are comfortable (with very hot showers too) and are cleaned everyday on request.
