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.).

IndiaVery rude and extremely unhelpful behaviour by the staff member whom I talked on the phone, because I had delay in flight. He had no respect of the customer, cut my call and asked me to look for another place at 1 a:m in the morning while I was standing outside their hostel. If it is a hostel they should have a 24/7 service or be helpful for customers reaching late. To locate the building was hard since no instructions were clearly given.
The main owner was helpful because I reached very late at night by then the hostel closes. The place was tidy, room was good, bed was comforatble, check in and out of the place was easy.

United KingdomMens shower room was very small indeed. No lock on the bedroom doors. Primitive toilets. A bit of a distance from the city centre by foot. Uphill walk.
The bunk beds had curtains and there were lockers in the room. Kitchen looked quite spacious. The shower had hot water. Staff appeared pleasant.

Hong KongRun down part of town, the building is old and shabby. There’s no reception as such. The bathroom was very cramped and not in great condition. A bit further of a walk to town as well.
It’s cheap, it’s cleanish, it’s a bed.

GreeceThe man who keeps the place would go inside the bathroom (female) showing a new guest around while I was taking a shower. And even if shower cabins had curtains (not doors), it is ok. Same goes for the room: at ~22 when a new guest came, he just came inside the room without knocking showing the girl around. But again, it is not nice because I could be changing for example. Usually, there are signs 'do not disturb' on the door handle, or the stuff knocks before entering etc.

FranceThey had overbooked because someone's flight was cancelled so when I arrived I couldn't stay in the four person room that I paid for and had to stay in the 6 person room. When I tried to question this I kept being told that "it was ok. It's ok" and couldn't do anything. No refund of difference in price. No apology. So this was very disappointing as the six person room felt cramped. I moved to the four person room the next night and it was really nice and spacious. Bathrooms were a bit strange in that the light in the cubicles was on a short sensor so would turn off very quickly.
The place was cosy and cute. Location wasn't ideal and was a bit rundown outside.

GreeceThe wifi is a little bit poor, apart from that, every other thing is good.
The location is just perfect because it is right in front of the bus stop, and you can get a bus to different places easily. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood also. The hosts are really nice and accommodating, and the hostel is neat.

My fiancé and I got to share a queen bed in communal room. We had a great street facing balcony and lots of privacy as no one else was in our room.
