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.).

CanadaSteep stairs, make sure you hold on to the railing while walking up and down. A bit noisy early in the morning because the leather merchants started their setting around 6am. Bathroom was a bit cold and had no exhaust fan. Sensor light is good to save electricity, but it turned off in the middle of my shower. It will be better to give additional 5 mins. It's very cold to open the shower doors to wave a couple of times to reactivate the light!
I stayed 5 nights in this hostel. Location is the best - 12 mins walking from train station, main attractions and the central market are so close. I shared room with 3 other ladies (not my first choice to share bathroom) but my bed is located on the loft and the same level of the bathroom which is a big bonus. (I was told that it's the best room). First day I spilled water on my bed, the cleaning lady did her best to dry my bed, all staff are very friendly and helpful.

HungaryToo cold the building and it would have been better if the staff look after more for the heating under the cold and rainy days. The check-out time is too early. Would be better change it at least until 11.
From the room 10.there is a wonderful view for the Medici's Chapell.Everything is pretty close to the hostel, perfect choice for a short stay to discover the town. Restaurants are nearby too, if you wanna drink the morning coffee outside. . I tried many hostels before and this was one of the bests. Free coffee, tea in the kitchen and free towels. The rooms are clean and I found the beds comfortable. Very helpful, and charming italian guys in the reception by the way. 😅👌

United StatesKitchen was a bit small and was a little on the dirty side. I know it's a common area so it can get a little worse for ware but it still could have been a bit cleaner. Also was a bit hard to find and I'm glad I looked it up on Google maps prior to arriving otherwise it would not have gone as well as it did.
Location was perfect for what we needed and was very walkable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the available when needed. The breakfast patio off the common room was a great area for morning coffee.

JordanThe smell of wastewater was strong in the toilet although the facilities were clean I think it has to do with city channels not to the hotel it self. The stairs were long and vertical so it could be difficult for people with joint problems.
The staff was very nice, Location was perfect. The hostel still has the heritage of old buildings in Florence. They have a kitchen with free coffee and other items. There are a lot of cheap and [Halal food] restaurants in a few steps away.

ItalyThe bathroom was a bit small, and given the number of people using it perhaps could be cleaned more often. The shower had some little issue with the door. In the room I was assigned to, the bidet was missing (available in other bathrooms).
The staff was really amazing: available, friendly, smiling, ready to help in everything I needed. They made made me feel very welcome. They even gave me a locker and towel at no extra cost, let me choose my bed and tried their best to try to adapt their room management to meet my request to be put in the same room with a friend. Great example of excellent hospitality and client centricity! Thank you guys 🙂, your attitude contributed significantly to my stay in Florence. Very centrally located. Plenty of space to safely store your belongings in the room. Professional coffee machine available.
