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.).

NorwayOne of our lockers were broken, so we barely had place for our bags. The toilet was also hard to flush for some reason.
The location was very good, it’s close to the busy market, but the hostel was in a very quiet street which felt safe.

SwitzerlandWe were a group of 5 in a 6 beds dorm so it was okay but it may be something else if you travel alone and share the dorm with strangers as the room is really small and there is almost nothing except beds and lockers.
Great location, few steps from the busy camden town main street but the neighborhood is quiet. Accommodation is alright, really tiny but it's London ! Beds are okay, curtains and usb plug really appreciated. Everything was pretty clean !

FinlandBathroom was quite small. Soundproofing was not good at all. Our room was under the stairs so the noise got quite bad. There was also lots of noise from outside. However there were earplugs in our room which was a lifesaver, but might not be enough for light sleepers.
The room was very nice and comfortable! Location was good for us as well but the area made us a little uncomfortable at night. Friendly staff!

AustraliaThe dorm room is smaller than it looked in the pictures. It was very cramped. I was there in mid August and in the morning the room heated up so much (humidity) that I had to pack up and go to the kitchen area to cool down. The bathroom was quite squishy as well. There wasn't much separating the shower from the toilet so the floor was constantly wet.
The kitchen and communal space was so spacious and modern. Nice vibe and good hangout area. Curtains provided for the bed. Lockers provided. Good location, near markets

AustraliaBeds were soooo small! I’m 5’5 and I could just stretch out, my partner, 5’9 couldn’t stretch at all, and don’t even think about sitting up. I was on the bottom bunk and I had to roll out of bed as it’s just a mattress on the floor …
Kitchen! Such a big plus to have an amazing kitchen and common area for everyone to cook and relax, with pretty much everting we needed! Rooms themselves were cosy, staff were friendly, bus right out the front or the metro within 10 mins walk but pretty far from anything going on. Huge lockers in the rooms, cleaning done every day and made the place smell great.
