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.).

AustriaI would give more points. But there was a big loud party in front of the hostel. Which is excellent, as one can join the party. Although I was exhausted and wanted to sleep, so the music outside was super annoying.

It is very convenient for the train station and well signed from the road. My dorm room was comfortable and cosy and the bathroom was clean. I had a beer and they gave me some hot water so I could make my own tea. I’m 63 but I felt very comfortable here and would stay again.

NetherlandsThe bed was a little bit short for me and you had to bring your own locker to secure your luggage. The location is not the best because you are on the other side of the city centre. It is close to the train station, but that is also the place the bus comes the closest. After that it's still a 15 minute walk.
The room was nice and colourfull. Each bed had a light, place to put your phone and wall outlet. The room and bathroom were clean. I could leave my luggage before and after check-in/out for free. The price/ quality is very good. The staff was very nice and helpfull. Overall a great stay!

United StatesLocation is 10 minutes walk from train station in quiet wooded area. Very clean, comfortable beds, large size rooms. Great place to meet people. Staff very friendly and helpful. Without a doubt I'll return to stay. Bologna is a beautiful city, I spent ten hours walking around. A genuine Italian city not overrun by tourists.

GreeceThe distance from the city center it's about 40min of walk but the bus or train stops too early at 20:20 the last. So if you don't want walk at night because the roads are some quiet of people, you have to take a taxi or Uber
Great place outside and inside and great stuff! Value for money.

Czech RepublicThe only thing that I'd improve was some sort of privacy curtain for the beds or something like that. I ended up using a towel and it worked. The card system was a bit awkward at times, because someone's card had to always stay in the reader for the lights and the ac to work, but we eventually got used to it and it was ok.
Conveniently close to a bus stop (although some of the buses don't go on Sundays) The bar (reasonably priced) and sitting area downstairs was very lovely - nice to spend the evening relaxing and chatting with friends with a glass of aperol spritz. There was an elevator as well! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the reception desk was open 24/7. The beds were very comfortable. Every bed in our room had a bed light and an electricity socket, also bedsheets and towels were conveniently included, plus they changed our towels every day. There was free soap and shower gel in the bathroom and the bathroom itself was very nice and clean. The AC was a godsend as the weather was quite hot. I really liked that the blinds on the windows were gold quality and didn't let in much light. The lockers in our room were very big and could fit all of our stuff (bring your own padlock though!)
