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.).

GermanyDuring some periods of the day bathrooms are insuficient and I had to wait. Sometimes some guests leave the bathrooms completely wet. and it is uncomfortable to use.
The staff was very helpful, the common areas are comfortable and have a lot of friendly people. They even have a guitar, which was very nice to play. I left before the breakfast was ready and they prepared somehing super fast for me to take to the airport (bread, fruit and coffee)

CanadaThere was a group while I was there, so the mornings were a bit loud (people talking and lots of steps on the stairs). Also because of the group, there was a bit few showers available, but I guess otherwise it would not be a problem. The only real "complaint" I have is that the pillows are way too thin.
Friendly staff, nice yard, large rooms, individual reading light and outlets, large drawer to keep your things safe, privacy curtains on each bed. The breakfast is cheap and the pankakes are really good!

FranceNoise. At midnight someone talked in the garden, and their noise was disturbing. Our window was close but still I could hear them clearly. In the common shower, even though it was late, someone was making noise, listening to music, etc. The problem is just noise.
The personal space and curtains were good. The personnel were great!! WC was quite clean.

SwitzerlandThe interior courtyard was under construction, so we were not able to enjoy it and we only found out about that when we got there. Also, the windows of our room were opening towards this courtyard, so we were not really able to open them, because it was loud, and anyone could hop in. But this is all details.
The hostel was ok, it was not far from the train station and we were able to leave our luggages there until the time of the check-in (which was pretty late tbh). The staff was friendly.

FranceIt was 30 degree at night and even with windows open, it is hard to stand with the heat without fans therefore difficulty in sleeping. Fan available for rent at 6 euro but... it would have been better if it can be installed 1 per room if i am not asking too much for its price.
Excellent location in 3er arrondisement closed to all must-visit spots, by metro, by tram, by bus and even reaching parc de la tete d'or in just 30 min walk! Overall a clean room and bathroom with daily cleaning. Hot and cold water both available. Cozy garden in the middle acts as a fabulous place for socializing and share your fruitful day with your 1 day roommates! Quick and accessible wifi for updating your day on social media! Plugs available around each bed so no worries on charging your devices for another brand new day. Hair dryer available upon asking at the front desk, free.

United KingdomThe immediate area leading down to the river was intimidating and very male dominated. Wouldn't recommend at night alone. In the day there was no issue. Bathrooms got messy quite quickly as they are mixed genders and only two showers were operational. Construction in the courtyard but didn't really detract from anything, only noise a few hours a day.
Fresh and modern, lovely staff, easy going atmosphere with music and boardgames, breakfast was really good! Dorm was clean,. Location was central, easy walk to the station.
