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.).

GermanyThe tables tend to have bread crumbles that could be cleaned more often but nothing that would ruin an experience. I think some guests should lower their voice when speaking inside the rooms, maybe a sign inside the room would work. But most of them are friendly and polite.
The guys in the front desk are nice, food is a bit expensive but it is good I think. Beds are comfortable and even though they have some vinylish material to protect them, they are fresh to sleep. Coffee was good and I could send some emails from the restaurant, something that is appreciated.

RussiaI appreciated the capsule system of beds, curtains on each booth. It is clean, calm. The perfect buffet and bar underneath, far from sleeping area where you can choose the breakfast or have a shot in the evening. The location is very good for exploring old Lyon. Wi-Fi works perfectly.

TaiwanThe location is at the hill part of Lyon, right in the middle of a hill. Doesn’t matter you walk down from metro station (Croix rouge) or bus station from the park (climb up ) you both need to suffer with big luggage.
8 people dorm is quite large with several windows so the fresh air come threw it’s pretty decent. Quite at night and the bath, toilet are separated which is very useful for sharing.

RomaniaThe light in the room could be better. And if you do not have a reasonable physical condition, to go from the city back to the hotel could be a little challenge due to the hill that you have to climb :)))
The hotel is very clean, fancy and with a nice design. We were upgraded to a Standard XL room which was a nice surprise. The room was big enough, clean, with a very comfortable bed. Also the bathroom was a nice surprise (with a big plus for the shower floor and bath products). The breakfast is delicious, not many options but what you receive is very good quality and enough to start perfect the day. Is not something that you don't like but you need to know that there is no TV or fridge in the room, if this is important for you. And also no safe in the room. Instead, there is a fully common kitchen at the first floor, where you find a fridge, cooking options etc. And also at the 1st floor are the lockers, so if you arrive early and the room is not ready, or you want to let something as a laptop for e.g. you can use this lockers (there are small, medium and large, with prices starting from 2 euro/hour up to ~20 euro/24 hours). The hotel has a nice restaurant area and a terrace where you can enjoy a beer or to have dinner if you want.

Turkeyheating was the main issue we had, you can only set the heater to 21 degree and it not enough from my perspective we were lucky because lyon was sunny when we were there, also it was little bit noisy if you are sensitive about noise it might be a problem for you. shower head was little bit small for me but its fine. lastly location is really central but its on a hill so its hard to walk back to hotel after long day of traveling around.
amazing place with really good energy in the lobby at night its gets little bit noisy until 12 but its not problem if you want to have some fun :D most of the nights they have events with different occasions which was amazing and fun. i would reccomend you to make a reservation for their brunch its great for the value. its really innovative hotel and it was great experience to stay there, comfortable bed and clean simple room.

FranceJust a few points… it’s not a big deal 1. Before arriving at Pilo, you should walk on a slope so it’s a little tired. 2. The locker in the room has no lock, so you have to bring it yourself
The price is relatively low but the quality of service and room is still pleased 🥰

United KingdomEach capsule, "unit", does not have a fan or any method of circulating air, so it gets rather stuffy in there. To each their own, but there was also a person sharing the room in one of the other units who had a very strong smell of cannabis that stunk out the entire room. Could have been that he used it / unpacked in the room, because the smell was strong enough to not be missed.
Friendly staff, location was near enough to good transport links. The kitchen was also clean and well organised/stocked.

PortugalNo electrical plugs at the tables on the ground floor of the bar. I understand the co-working place is upstairs but sometimes I felt like staying on the lower ground and couldn't really.
I really enjoyed the interior design of the whole place. Really enjoyed evenings in the shared chilling place and to work in the mornings at the co-working space.
