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.).

PortugalThe wifi was only available in the communal area of the Auberge.
The breakfast was superb :) the staff was friendly and readily assisted with booking of passes to get to the téléphérique. They also were very helpful with the local bus and explained free use was available for pass holders.

NetherlandsIf you want to come here, you need to understand that this is a hostel level with all the shortcomings, but the price per night and discounts on ski passes partially compensate for the inconvenience. No Wi-Fi in the room, inconvenient to climb to the upper bed, no towels, shared toilet and shower on the floor. Thin and uncomfortable pillows. Breakfast is very poor.
Good location surrounded by mountains, near a bus stop to Chamonix. Nice staff. Big discount on ski pass.

SlovakiaThe hostel was up to my standards, though I wish there had been a cheaper way to secure my luggage than using the 1 euro per use luggage lockers. The bathrooms were also rather dingy. However, you are getting what you're paying for so the price of the stay and the lift pass discount made this slight discomforts well worth enduring.
I went for a late season ski trip in Chamonix. The staff was friendly and very helpful in answering any and all questions I had and the price of the stay with the breakfast included was unbeatable. As is its location just up the hill from a stop on one of the main buses. The atmosphere was also lovely. I would stay here again!

AustraliaOnly one charging port in the hostel which made things tricky- but specified when booking the accomodation
I loved my stay here! The staff were happy to help, and the ski lift passes were such great value. Free breakfast was nice too. Very stunning hostel just out of the city centre, easily accessible by bus.

New Zealand- Only one power socket per room but there are USB charging ports next to each bed. - Wifi not available in the rooms. - Have to continually press a button to keep the showers going and they were luke warm downstairs. - Occasionally there was a bit of a wait for reception/rentals if it was busy.
- Great value ski lift pass deal (allowed access to all of the Mont Blanc Natural Resort). - Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. - Can rent basic skis and helmets from the hostel which was really convenient and a good price. - Decent breakfast for a hostel - including a coffee/drinks dispenser and croissants. - Very close to a bus stop, bus runs every half and hour and gets you to a number of the ski fields and town, also is free with your ski pass. Note that the bus doesn’t run later in the evenings but is only about a 25min walk. - Microwave, fridge and some utensils provided if you want to do your own food. - Rooms were basic but clean and also had basins.

MalaysiaRooms are quite small and can be quite cramped (especially in the rooms for 4). Not all rooms are equipped with the same things. Some rooms had hanging space, while other did not. There is also no full length mirror anywhere to be seen.
Super value for money. Accommodation is really close to the bus stop! Rooms have sufficient heating, and the meals prepared were simple but extremely filling for what they were worth. I especially enjoyed having so many discounts from staying here!!
