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.).

IndiaBasic Rooms, No kettle no tea bags. I felt for the facilities provided the property was bit over priced. Only Plus point was the location of the hotel which is in central part of the city.
Clean Rooms, Location of the property is excellent. Good and welcoming staff.

IndiaThe TV needed quite some fiddling around to get it to work.. asked the staff a couple of times for help, but nobody turned up.
Super location. Walking distance from the Fort railway station. Also very close to the Dutch Hospital food joints, the Galle face beach and some good looking government buildings. Nice rooms and excellent value for money. Our family room was large and comfortably accommodated us. There was also a nice balcony. The bathroom was decent. Welcoming and communicative staff.

United StatesEasy to find and such a kind and attentive staff. I was also able to exchange money here to different currencies which was very helpful. Easy to talk to other travelers as well with the complimentary tea/coffee in the lobby. The bunk bed was comfortable even being on the top bunk. The hostel provides each guest with their own towel.

GermanyThe bathrooms weren't always super clean - but we've definitely had worse ;) It would also be nice if there were more hooks etc to hang stuff/towels in the dorm.
The premises are really tidy and clean. The staff was really nice and the dorm was also spacious. There was a lot of common space as well and a kitchen you could use.

United KingdomIt's a hostel ... the room could have been a little cheaper. For that money it is possible to stay in some very nice air bnbs.
This is a very good hostel. I had been having a very gruelling time at home with my extended family and was really struggling for sleep due to our living arrangements. I just needed somewhere to recharge and this was perfect. The lobby area had a very cool design. The staff were very helpful in recommending places for me to grab some food. Had I come for another purpose (e.g. sightseeing etc) the location of the hostel is also perfect, positioned in the heart of port city. The showers were very clean (for a hostel) with good wash facilities and hot water. And the room was immaculately clean with a very comfy, soft queen-sized bed. My purpose of going was fulfilled. I slept very well.
