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.).

SwitzerlandBed was really uncomfortable (probably due to its narrowness). I opted to take the mattress and sleep on the ground which proved to be much more comfortable.
It is very centrally located. Check-in is manned 24/7. Clean room, shared bathrooms and showers were clean and spacious enough. Breakfast selection and quality was ok.

FinlandToilet and showers are shared, but that's how it is in a hostel. The price was very much worth it, though.
Hostel is in a hotel, and we got hotel benefits like a free morning sauna (well, we needed to pay 3 € per person for flip-flops).

LithuaniaEverything met or exceeded the expectations, thank you!
It’s a strategically perfect place for a few nights stay just in front of Tartu bus station. Free sauna on the morning hours as well with a magnificent view of Tartu sunrise. Bring your own flip flops though but also you can buy them on the spot. Breakfast was also superb and I’m looking forward to stay here again. Thank you!

IrelandHonestly, I've nothing bad to say about my stay.
I stayed in a hostel room. It was excellent and the shower and bathrooms were clean and not at all busy. It is excellent value as breakfast and full use of the hotel facilities were included in the price. I used the gym which had everything I needed. Staff were super helpful and friendly too. It is right across from the Bus station, a short walk to town and loads of local amenities, and has luggage storage.

International bus station in front, AHHAA centre on the other side, several shopping centres around, Old Town within 5 mins walk. The hostel is an inclusion into a large hotel building, so it enjoys all the same facilities, just with shared bathrooms. Breakfast is really good, for the price even amazing. Staff is very friendly, room is clean and fine.

United StatesI really didn't like that there was only one toilet for the hostel area. I experienced (several times) waiting for it to be available or wander in my PJs through the halls to another. One thing I missed about a normal hostel stay was having access to a fridge/kitchen. Made it impossible to bring back leftovers. The other thing that was just a minor inconvenience was the AC. I liked how it didn't work when the window was open (energy efficient) but everywhere else in the world I've stayed, it goes down to 18°C. This was 21°C max. It may not seem that bad but I run hot so I like to sleep with it on as low as it can go.
I love the location. Being right across the bus station was super convenient for arriving and leaving. It's also close to a lot of sights and the town center. Breakfast was also amazing. Those two perks make the rate of the room worth it.

EstoniaThe room had a small table which was on level with the chairs and thus basically unusable. There was no storage room for unpacking suitcases but for some reason it had a spare bed in the corner. Excellent for smugglers who use their suitcases for trafficing people. Not so good for tourists and totally awful for anyone who wants to do some officework in their room.
Location at the center of Tartu next to the bus station is excellent for tourists. Staff was friendly and breakfast buffet varied and tasty. Nice and clean place.

BelgiumSoundproofing isn't ideal, it can be noisy especially if you have a room next to the hostel access door. Ear plugs are provided. I slept fine nonetheless.
The location: right in front of the bus station. Pretty convenient when you are coming and/or must leave by bus. Only a short 10 minutes stroll from the town hall square. The room was just fine (it's a hostel after all). Not fancy but comfortable. The hostel is in a wing of a larger hotel and as such, hostel guests have access to the same breakfast as the hotel guests and also to the very nice spa (in the morning only). The common areas of the hostels (toilets and showers) were always clean.
