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 KingdomI'd expect a more equipped kitchen, like with a turner at least.
The best view from the window! The climbing was so worthwhile when I arrived at my room. And nice location to facilitate climbing up the hill. Btw, the family dinner provided was good and cheap.

FranceThe space between the two beds was quite narrow; even at my height (165cm), sitting comfortably on the bed wouldn’t be an option. The kitchen proved to be on the smaller side.
The standout aspect of the property was undoubtedly the staff; their kindness, accommodation, and helpfulness truly made the stay memorable. Additionally, the sheets were clean, and the mattress provided a comfortable night's rest. Moreover, the onsite food options were both affordable and highly recommended.

UkraineThe showers are quite small if you're curvy, and there's no shower head, just this nozzle attached to the wall. The common room has tables if you need to work but the placement of the sockets is quite uncomfortable. It makes sense to sit near the bar area, where you can charge your laptop while sitting at the table
The view is just magnificent! It's worth climbing that crazy hill lol Everyone from the staff is lovely and always ready to help. Loved having curtains for privacy. There are dinners at a very good price.

United StatesShowers.
Showers were still in 1940's style. A hole in a small shower head shooting water out. Very uncomfortable. That's the only complaint I have. Staff were great. Wonderful location and view of the city. Good breakfast for the money you pay. Peaceful and clean.

United KingdomSink in the room, sewer smell all around, mouldy shower.
The location is great. Just a quick walk up on a hill from the Vieux Lyon district, and another short walk further to the Fourvière. The view is captivating any time during the day. The curtains on the bed. Fresh bedding every other day. Stable WiFi. 2 pints of really fine blonde draft beer for 8 € in place.

United StatesThe shower and bathroom situation was a little dirty. Also the soap was only in the rooms not the bathrooms so there is this awkward travel you have to make with dirty hands.
Staff were super friendly and the bed setup was actually really comfortable for a hostel.

United KingdomOnly two toilets and showers on my floor, the toilets and showers are in the same cubicle so you can't use a toilet if someone is showering. But this wasn't much of an issue when I was there as it wasn't overly busy.
Good location with amazing views over the city. Lovely dorm with lockers and comfy beds with curtains for privacy.

United KingdomWalking back to the hostel when it was dark. I'm courageous but it's a little eerie.
It's a lovely relaxed hostel. I thought the showers and rooms were clean and wholesome ..and I'm darned hygienic. I didn't like the walk down to the cafes...as it was extremely hot during my stay...but it was well worth it. Lovely local bars, restaurants. Ice cream parlours compared to elsewhere in Lyon. Great ambiance. I was more than satisfied.

SpainThe showers resemble the ones at a camping. They spray the water way too strongly and it shuts off after 20 seconds, so you constantly have to push the button. And there often wasn't hot water either.
The location was great, on top of a hill with amazing views. The climb can be a bit much if you are carrying luggage, so I would recommend getting the funicular. Within walking distance of the roman theaters and Notre Dame de Fourviere, and a 15 min walk to the metro station. There is a little terrace, with great ambience at night. They also have a small kitchen with basic things.
