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 Statesthe beds were extremely flat and uncomfortable. I usually sleep well in any places, out in the woods camping, air mattress, whatnot, but the bed here was in such a bad condition that it felt like it might have been better to sleep on the floor than on this mattress. The staff were not the most friendly set of chaps.
The location was very good. The breakfast was ok.

BrazilIt could have a fan in the room, even a portable one, because during summer was really hard to sleep.
The breakfast was amazing, with a great variety of food and drinks. The staff was friendly and the accommodations as we expected, comfortable, clean and near to several public transportations

AustraliaI happen to go during a heatwave and it was a struggle. Obviously not their fault, it's just the buildings are designed to keep in heat without any air con so it was pretty suffocating. There was also only one small shower split between a lot of people.
It was cool to have a room to yourself at a hostel price. The location was AMAZING, with it being really easy to walk to Covent Garden and train stations. Breakfast was simple but good, and it was great that it was included. Staff were helpful and friendly as well.

IsraelThe room was really small , and without much decoration. The shared bathroom had a flood until they fixed it. But they sent me to another bathroom in the meanwhile. All this was known to me beforehand and considering the price was wort it. But it was nothing more than a place to rest in the end of the day.
The location was excellent. 5 minutes from covent garden. The staff was all helpful and nice. When I asked for a fan in the room they gave me one with no problem. Great breakfast every morning. The room was clean, and I had a great view from my window. The shared shower was clean

United KingdomStaff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was close to my room. Was able to leave my bag in storage for a couple of hours after I checked out before going to the airport. Location is excellent. It's about 3 minutes walk from Holborn station and only a few minutes away from the British Museum. Breakfast was satisfactory but there wasn't a massive selection. Still it was adequate for my needs and it was included in the price.
