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 KingdomNo Wifi Connection ( you get wifi name & password but there's no internet still.) Water drainage in the toilet where you wash your hands is blocked. Excessive amount of noise from homeless people who stay at the alley at the entrance of this guest house at night times. I think interior was good i can say 7/10 and the location 4/10. In general 6.5/10
Well it was okay for what you pay . Request i had and response from the people who manage this guest house was fast enough for me.

IndiaThere was no key in the key box when we arrived during the check in window. When called the property owner he simply hung up the phone and did not pick our calls at all. For a moment we thought we were scammed. We kept calling the guy like 50 times to the point he got pissed off and answered the phone saying the room is not clean so the cleaning lady is cleaning it currently. He could have told this in the first call itself rather than making us stand outside the property door in rain !!! Not professional at all!!
Decent room for the price.

Estonia*The staff was unreachable! We had an emergency, when the fire alarm went off and I tried to call/text the owner for hours and no response. We ultimately called the fire department and they came to check, but couldn't turn off the alarm, so it was just ringing SO LOUD for half a day. *it was so cold, all the rooms!
*Price and location are very good. 2 metro stations are very close and only a few stops by Underground to get to the center *If you are not looking for luxury and you just need somewhere to sleep (like we did), then it is perfect. Room with 2 bunkbeds for 4 persons was exactly what we needed. *Everything was clean and working

United KingdomHairdryer was missing and the bathroom could do with a lick of paint.
Location near the tube stations was excellent. Easy to get to. Easy to get into the property once instructions received. As long as you know about the alley way and the location / stairs it is what it is. The property served us well for what we needed which was a trip to winter wonderland and London with 4 children.

Czech RepublicCommunication with the manager was terrible. He didn't answer any of our questions and he didn't give us info for check-in in time (before 3 pm). We had to send him a lot of messages to get it. The aisle to the house is not dark, there are lights but the was pee and poop and so many drug addicts taking drugs at the moment we were getting in. Luckily during the night there was a locked gate and they cannot be there. But first impression was terrible and we were really scared. The bathroom wasn't so clen, glass at the shower was broken and we had problems with flushing the toilet.
Rooms were clean, cozy and small - but we knew that. Equipment was good - microwave, TV, refridgerator, hairdryer. towels, table, heater, electrical splitter and reduction. Common meeting room was also nice.

NetherlandsThere is 1 shared bathroom for all guests staying at the property. Which means we had to share it with +- 7 people. Who all wanted to shower and pee and brush their teeth simultaneously. Very very annoying. The building is also a bit hidden in a dodgy alley.
The facilities are in very good quality. Bathroom is beautiful. Rooms came with a microwave, a modern television and a mini fridge in which they provided complimentary water as well as all the means needed to make tea. Both sides of the bed were double pillowed. I paid €57 a night for 2 people which is veryyy cheap.

The price - it is good value for london, especially if you’re travelling with friends / family on a budget. If you’re looking for a place to crash and don’t care too much about sleep quality - then you’ve found your place.
