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.).

NetherlandsIf you're staying for more than a week, I'm not quite sure whether your room will be cleaned. I stayed for 7 days and I saw a layer of dust on the desk after a couple of days. I would've liked more clarity about this, but it's not really a deal breaker to be honest. My room, including the bathroom, were very clean. Besides that, I thought the toilet seat was a bit weird looking (brown-ish, as if someone tried to burn it). The room felt warm, but not too warm. You can't open any windows and they look like they are well-isolated. I think the room might get uncomfortably warm when it's 30 C° outside.
Awesome location in nature with nice walking routes in the forest. The city is pretty close, about 10-15 min of biking. However, it doesn't feel like you're directly next to the city with all the silence around (Finland is very spacious). The staff was very helpful at the check-in, I was lucky that I could join the dinner when I arrived (take note however, Linnasmäki only has dinner when it has been ordered for a group). If I needed something, I could always ask the person at the reception area. The sauna and pool were pretty nice and clean, nice extras to have. All around VERY good value for what I've paid (about €30 per night + €8 for breakfast per day). A little note for those wanting to go to Turku at the end of May- begin June, my experience was that the hostel was pretty quiet. Not a lot of people around, if you get lucky you might speak a local (in my case a Swedish speaking Finn). Most activities such as festivals, group activities and the like seemed to start from the first or second week of June (Summer starts like half way June-begin July). If you're not really into talking with people, you could pretty much avoid a lot of chit-chat. When you get in your room, you're on your own and away from everything else. If you're extroverted (talking from a Dutch point of view), brace yourself for solitude. You really have to be able to entertain yourself on your own. It might be different during Summer, when people from Sweden and other countries get here to celebrate their holidays.

Ukraine- I arrived around 19:00, none of the workers were there. For all the time of observation, I did not meet a single employee of the hotel. I was warned by phone, everything is fine. But there were strange feelings, as if I were in a movie :) In a hotel where there is no one - The nearest grocery store is quite far from the hotel. - The bed linens were not made.
The hotel is relatively close to the airport, so I chose it. What I liked: a separate common room where you can prepare meals, heat up food, drink tea/coffee. This room has: microwave, stove, fridge, kettle, dishes. You have to use your own products. The room has a very comfortable bed, TV and shower. It is very quiet. Automatic check-in and check-out. Breakfast is not included in the price, you can pay extra if you want.

Swedenbad ventilation - I had to open the bedroom door and a fake window w moskito net to get the air circulating. the fake window didn’t have a hook so I had to stop it w a lamp to avoid the room from getting super cold! faaar away from Turku - 1 km to bus stop , no shops nearby. buses go very seldom on weekends . the feeling of the place is like a school or prison - clinically clean but void of a homely feel.it’s better for conferences and people in large groups but for one night it’s far away!
clean and nice personnel and facilities!

FinlandThe bed wasn't very comfortable as the springs didn't give much support. No black-out curtains so room wasn't very dark.
Very good value for money. Quiet location, ideal for those travelling by car. The room was clean and had towels, soap and a hairdryer (unusual for hostels). Perfect place for a stop-over and one night stay.
