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.).

IsraelThe kitchen and common area is in another building, if you wanted to talk on the phone in the middle of the night then you had to go outside the building. In addition, the doors of the showers were semi-transparent. I showered in a bathing suit because these were mixed showers.
The beds were comfortable and the room spacious. There is privacy. There were plenty of showers and toilets and the location was a few minutes walk from all the main sites.

United StatesNo elevator for bringing up luggage - not that big of a concern for us as we were on the second floor but might be something to consider if you get placed on a higher floor with a lot of luggage.
Clean and comfortable room and bathroom. Nice to be able to use kitchen to make a light breakfast.

South KoreaThe cubbies have some gaps where light comes through, was a bit annoying because the overhead lights also have no shade so if you are on the top bunk it shines into your eyes. But you can just turn the light off! (as long as everyone is ok w it). The towel was not the cleanest and I saw some faint marks on it.
The location is great and close to the coach station and train station. The cubbies are pretty spacious and not claustrophobic, I could almost stand up and I'm about 5'11. The bed was comfy and I had a quiet night. They have free lockers available for your stuff before and after check-in which was a lifesaver. Really nice lobby area with free wifi, was great for taking call or getting ready to leave. Breakfast was nice, just fry your own eggs, some toast, butter, jam and orange juice and coffee.

AustraliaNo lift, so luggage had to be carried up the stairs.
Fantastic location, close to both the intercity and express bus terminals, as well as bus stops for buses going to major tourist attractions in Gyeongju. Owner was very friendly and explained how to get around town in detail. Simple but satisfying breakfast of toast with jam and eggs is provided every morning as well. Room was clean and all the necessities were provided.

SingaporeThere is a no lift so if you carry big luggage then this place may not be suitable. For backpacker like me should not be problem to walk up & down 4 floor.
The hostel is very near to the bus terminal and bus stop to all sights. The owner self-made a very useful map that come in handy. The room is clean and the self-service breakfast is good enough.

The location is good, you can leave your baggage in the lobby if you arrive early. The female dormitory looked quite new and the mattress was comfortable. Wifi was pretty good.
