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 KingdomReally enjoyed our stay at this wee hostel, the staff were great, especially Angel who was very helpful. Nice common room, free breakfast, think the only thing that'd be nice to have was a hand dryer in the bathroom. It's a great location, just across the street from both train and bus station (that's where the airport ends and starts too). Easy enough to walk everywhere but also easy to use buses if needed. There's a supermarket right next to it as well.

Everything was great. The hostel is furnished perfectly and it has great, funky personality (like its host). Facilities were functional, with lot of space and always clean. The position is strategic being next to the central bus station and having a supermarket right downstairs. Angel is a great and attentive host, always ready to help, suggest but also to have a chat. Sometimes he has volunteers helping, which are great to socialise with! Recommend 200%!

United StatesSmall and awkward showers.
Hostel is close to many restaurants, cafes, shops, grocery stores, and across the street from the bus station. A short walk will take you to the waterfront. The vibe is relaxing. The social room is a great place to chat with others and the kitchen had a working stove to make meals. (An added bonus.) Friendly staff, a long with clean showers and bathrooms (the showers were a bit awkward though) offered a great experience.

SpainIt's not listed properly on Google maps. The showers could have detachable shower heads.
The staff were absolutely fantastic. Very caring and patient. The location was very central and meters away from both the bus and train stations. The decorations in the hostel are absolutely fantastic. The decor in the living room / kitchen could tell a thousand stories. And in the reception there are loads of maps and informational posters about the local area, the Camino routes, what to see in the city.
