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.).

PolandSuch a lovely stay thanks to fun and kind team. The location of the hostel is perfect, in the heart of medina and close to the fish harbour and beach. Hostel is small and cosy with a great rooftop and loads of plants and nice details that make it look really cool. Wifi works perfectly all over the place. You will be spoiled with fresh breakfast (egg omelette, msemen and more) served to the table. Ask the staff for food recommendation and your foodie experience will blow your mind :)) Thanks Yusra, Mira, Rob, Brahim and a Moroccan Girl I unfortunately didn't get the name, you all do amazing job, cheers!

MoroccoThere’s 2 showers and toilets, the one next to the dorm the shower head is right on top of the toilet.. the showers downstairs are much better but it was fixed only at my last night there. The terrace is closed at sharp midnight and you can’t sit downstairs because you need to seat in “pure silence” so it’s a little annoying especially on the weekend. But I highly recommend this hostel! The atmosphere is like home and you get to meet a lot of travelers!
I stayed there for 3 nights in the dorms and 2 nights at the private room, the terrace is really nice to chill, it’s right in the center of everything that you want, the host Ibrahim is really nice! It’s like a home for all the travelers

PortugalThe day I went, the hostel was under renovations, which may have reduced my experience. Also, the bathroom for showers is too far away from the bedroom, on the bottom floor.
Good staff and a very friendly atmosphere. Ok beds and good wi-fi. Cheap price for this colorful riad inside the city's medina.

GermanyThere are just two bathrooms and in one the drain smells badly. The staff said it is a problem of the city canalisation. So maybe nothing that can be changed. And the other bathroom was most of the time available. So not a big problem.
Cute little hostel with very kind staff. Thank you for creating a very familiar and friendly atmosfaire: I felt like home. Thank you also for the good breakfast. :-)

FinlandThe hostel was not very clean and kind of outdated. No sink in the bathroom upstairs. The rooftop had a lot of stuff lying around which made it kind of uncomfortable.
The hostel had very nice staff and a nice vegan breakfast. The rooms were quiet and the beds ok. Location was very central.
