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.).

AustraliaThe hostel style of accommodation may not suit everyone but for our cycling adventure it was perfect. No one could tell me about the cool 20" Tern road bike which was outside when we arrived.
In house dinner was great value and delicious. Try the limoncello made from the local citrus fruit which they serve in much bigger glasses than you would get in Italy. Catered perfectly for cyclists doing the Shimanami Kaido. Exceptionally clean and modern and kind of quirky in a good way. Lockup storage or keep the bikes in the sleeping space. Loved the bikes that seemed to be on display.

Very clean, easy and safe for the bikes, they offered free pyjamas to walk around in and had an on site restaurant. Really well located just off the cycle route and opposite a 7-11.

United StatesOur room was very hot when we got there so we asked for a fan and staff provided it. That made the room more comfortable.
The hostel was easy to find. Very clean. A convenience market right across the street (so we got coffee and breakfast there). Hostel is right across the street from the ocean. Dinner was excellent.

SingaporeA little pricey for a hostel but given the quality of what was provided, well deserved!
Great location just off the bridge coming into Omishima, across the road from a Family Mart looking across the sea. Helpful receptionists and staff who spoke English and Japanese, giving very clear instructions. Rooms were very clean and well organised especially for a hostel. The bunk bed was very spacious and ample space for both the top and bottom bunk, each room felt very private even with just a sliding door and curtain (everyone was respectful and kept things quiet). Amazingly everything you could need for your stay is provided - slippers, common toiletries, toothbrush, pajamas, towels, razor, extra blankets, hair dryer, iced water and hot tea at the reception. We booked dinner with our stay which was lovely - soup, sashimi, salad, rice with chicken katsu and sakura mochi.

AustraliaIt is a great half way point for the Shimanami bike ride. I was given information about an onsen nearby which was a great idea but I was too tired to go. there is a family mart across the road to get a snack or dinner, which was good as I wouldn't feel pressured to arrive at a certain time for dinner.

AustraliaNa - honestly can't think of anything I didn't like.
Amazing place to stay about halfway along the Shimanami Kaido Cycle Way. Room was comfortable and nice. Have washers and dryer for use. Order dinner with my accommodation, and it was very yummy and filling. Was a 5 set meal and honestly couldn't finish the last of it. They have showers but also point you to a public bath house about 10min walk down the road. It is tattoo friendly. I have a rather large tattoo, hard to hide, and the onsen had a few other guests when I arrived. I was nervous, but no one seemed upset about me being there.

JapanThe staff/host was absolutely amazing and went above my expectations. The facility was also extremely clean and is very up to date. At the time of my reservation not many rooms were booked, so they kindly upgraded me to a single room for free as well as offered me dinner for free. I was also a little late for my check-in time and since it was getting dark, they called to make sure I was safe and had not crashed on my bike. I ended up getting a fever that night, and with no pharmacy locations in the area, they kindly drove to go and get me medicine. Could not recommend this place enough. I have never received such kind hospitality!
