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 KingdomThe toilet situation was a bit uncomfortable. There were 2 toilets and 3 showers for each set of 4 rooms (which I can only guess had a minimum of 16 people in them if not more) and these are mixed gender. Which means when it's busy the loos are a bit of a hardship. Not to mention they really weren't very clean so I avoided using them where I could. It also says about stocking up toilet roll and wiping the seats after use yet it wasn't obvious where these could be found and the staff were not always available to ask. There are lockers in the rooms however you need to supply your own lock. This wasn't advertised and although they have a sign offering a lock for £1.50 actually on the lockers, the staff member told me they didn't actually have any and I had to go out and buy a set (for reference anyone needing one there is a convenience store about 5 mins walk away selling them for about £6). There were no individual light switches on the beds so the one light switch in the room had to suit everybody whether it was on or off. In summer this isn't too bad as it's light enough to still move around even when it's late evening but I can't imagine the issues it causes in winter.
The beds were comfy and the room I was in was fairly standard. The price was really good for near enough the city centre and it was right next to the Botanical gardens. There was a living room with a TV and Netflix although I didn't get a chance to test it out. The code to the door changed every day so the security was very tight and secure. The staff communicated this change to me as I left early in the morning on Day 2 just to make sure I had it which was very reaassuring.

United KingdomI don't like the bathroom because it doesn't clean, maybe the guess didn't respect the role of the homestay. And there were mixing of men and female together that I don't really like it. I think it would be great if they have option for female travel alone and they can have option staying with other female traveler.
It doesn't include breakfast, but you can use the kitchen to make your own food plus tea and coffee. Also the staffs are very friendly to us. I appreciate it.

IrelandIt’s an old building so it’s not the cleanest place but it was obvious they were trying hard to clean it. Spotted a rat outside the window on the bottom floor. Some unusual characters in the communal room but harmless and never tried to interact with our group.
The location is great. The bedsheets were very clean and beds were comfortable, they made sure to keep our group together in the same rooms with no other guests. The staff were friendly and easy to deal with. Great for large groups that will only be getting a few hours sleep after a night out.

United KingdomThe locker are way too small to put a regular or big backpack or even a suitcase ! The floors were a bit dirty, everyone wears shoes to go to the bathroom... The water in the shower is either scalding or freezing, and its flow is very (very) low. When I arrived, the sheets from the previous owner of my bed were still there...
The stay was cheap and the matress are really comfy ! The staff is nice !

United StatesThe showers need seeing to. The temperature bounces between hot and cold during its run. The bed sheets could be less thin and grip the bed mattress better. But not a big deal. Occasionally there’s troublesome people but same issue persists in any hostel.
Nice reasonable price. Great proximity to the city centre (only 10 minute drive to Titanic quarter). Great selection of convenience shops and take aways around the corner. Cosy beds. Warm rooms. Great friendly staff. Nice kitchen.

Irelandthe whole aisle were we stayed needed a new floor and a fresh coat of pain. The bed was of poor quality and was noisy. The room [with a double bed] was small but that was not much of an issue. There was noise from the traffic outside and from the ajoining bedroom.
The kitchen and the TV room [where you could find lockers] were fine. The staff was helpful. The place was kept clean, and kudos to the cleaning staff in view of the behaviour of some of the guests, and of the poor state of [some of ] the building. The location was good, the price very affordable.

United StatesRenting a bath towel would have cost five pounds (which is too much), the showers were not very private, and I felt as if I was bitten by a bedbug on my eyelid and finger… as well as on my wrist. Although I did not see any bedbugs when I tried looking. Most of the staff were very friendly, but one was not very friendly. There was way too much noise and poor behavior outside during the late hours of the night, on some nights, especially on Saint Patrick’s Day. I would stay again, but probably only for one or two nights. Oh yes, and most of the lockers were not working as they were supposed to…
It was close to some good pubs, eateries, the Botanic train station, and Europa Hotel.
