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.).

Convenient location, safe, clean and warm - all in all very good for the price.

South AfricaI would have preferred it if our bar fridge had been in our room rather than just outside in the corridor. But maybe it was a space issue because we had a double bed and a single in the room.
Great location and easy to get into the centre of town. The shared bathrooms were kept clean at all times and there was only a bit of a wait on one morning, otherwise it didn't even feel like we were sharing. The property in general was neat and tidy and check in was easy, with a key box system.

UkraineCleaning in the rooms is not perfect. There is a lot of dust on the shelves and in the closet. Champagne corks were lying under the bed. The Wi-Fi signal was constantly disappearing. TV with a burned-out lamp, half of the screen is dark.

United KingdomThe shared toilet was not a good idea as one toilet for 8 people is not enough and feels very embarrassment when one is knocking and someone else from other room is inside. Moreover, the beds base was not proper as the wooden base was not properly fixed.
The ambiance was very good. The room was good with proper lighting and other stuff.

United KingdomElectrics look dodgy with too many extension cables. Soundproofing poor. Snorer next door. Squeaky door needs oiling. No explanation about a fridge outside the room . No provision of UHT milk. Arrived late so had to go out to get milk, last minute when tired. Pillows are very poor quality. Bedlinen was very old,needs replacing. No wifi advice or notice. Only one teaspoon for 3 people.

SlovakiaAll the doors were quite noisy and especially during the night it was disturbing. I would welcome one chair at the room and some cutlery and plates as well. It was not as close to the city centre as I expected but there were 2 bus stops in close proximity. Some might find the shared bathrooms inconvenient.
The host was very hospitable and kind. The price of the stay was excellent and the place was very tidy, clean and warm. I liked that the accomodation provided towels as well. Toilet paper was always in stock.

United KingdomYou can hear noises from other room but that you can expect for the rates they offer. I cannot complain because we enjoyed with a group friends and the next door were laughing too. Don't expect pure silence.
Nice pretty apartment, 20 mins walk from Waverley station. A little far if you want to explore more of old Scotland but buses are available. Host are very helpful.

SlovakiaI would appreciate if more attention was paid to the dust and a bit of dirt on (and inside) the bed-side table and wardrobe, otherwise everything was nice and clean. We spent there 3 nights and on one of the nights, there was no hot water running in the shower, but we managed it somehow. It's true that 2 bathrooms are not enough for the amount of people, but we never waited more than 10 minutes to get there. The mayor problem is that the bathrooms get dirty too quickly as many people use them (for example, one night our washing basin was clogged because one of our neighbours had been washing her clothes inside), but they cleaned the bathrooms everyday, so I would say that the quality of accomodation was quite pleasant as well as the prize.
The staff was super friendly, we appreciated they always asked if we needed something (new towels, bed linen etc.). Everything was nice and clean, even the shared bathrooms, as they came to clean it everyday. Our room had everything we needed - towels, fridge, toaster, kettle, TV, cups, coffee, tea, hair dryer and wardrobes with hangers. The self chech-in and check-out process was also very comfortable. Great location for great price!

Polandone of the bathrooms kept having issues: hot water stopped running mid shower twice, which was really uncomfortable I had to run upstairs and downstairs looking and waiting for an empty bathroom. one bathroom was out of service the entire 5 days, which is not good as there are a lot of people using those.
Great location, the room was basic but comfortable. The bathrooms were nice and recently redone. Electric kettle and fridge in the room were a nice touch, a few plates and cutlery would have been nice to eat breakfast.

The room is spacious. Very close to bus stop, it is only one minute walk. Many restaurants nearby so you wont feel hungry. It is close to local supermarket.
