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.).

UzbekistanThe hotel fully disclosed the rooms have no windows and are only the size of a bed- so really it's more like a closet. That's fine, but I would not recommend for someone who is claustrophobic. And I would call this a hostel with private rooms rather than a hotel.
The hotel was in a great location and the staff were very helpful. I was worried about sharing a bathroom, but it was no problem.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff cannot guarantee that the room will be cleaned in a timely manner. The sound insulation effect is very poor, especially after midnight, people are talking in the corridor and music playing next door, which makes it impossible to sleep at all.
The room is large and although the toilet is shared, it is guaranteed that there is always one available. Water and snacks are always available.

The staff were very helpful, breakfast was good. I loved the garden space. Bed was comfortable.

United KingdomMy stay was great, rooms were simple, clean and the location was great. The hostel within an office space was a new one for me 😃 The staff helped me out when the taxi driver I arrived was trying to over charge me by a considerable amount. I was going to pay when staff intervened and basically reduced my fare to a third of the price demanded. Very impressed, and thankful. They also organised my return taxi to the airport and a very reasonable amount

KyrgyzstanThe rooms are small - as expected. Some complain about the size and set up of the room, but I read reviews beforehand and expected a small windowless room. It's okay for a solo traveller on a tight budget.
The hostel is clean and the front desk staff are very responsive and professional. The location is great - easy to reach central Almaty on foot, close to bus stops, shops and cafes.

United KingdomThe room got very hot most nights Some of the other guests could be quite loud and also leave the shared spaces kind of messy Sometimes the light switch by the bed wouldn't work properly The key ring for the room key was a little awkward to carry around.
All the staff at the front desk were super friendly The size of the room was actually very good Plenty of free tea, coffee and water available The gym and the shared bathrooms were very nice It was amazing to have a laundry room to use whenever The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept well I felt comfortable and safe the entire time

It is a good place for the price that you pay. The staff was helpful. We came earlier than the check-in, but our rooms were already ready.

Helpful, English-speaking staff who provided heater for us when we asked. I was worried about having to use a shared bathroom, but it was really clean. The room was also clean & comfortable with a good mattress & blanket provided. Great location, within walking distance to everywhere.
