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.).

Good location, good price, possible to pay by cash. It's okay for spending 1-2 night

France- dust in the room (window, bedhead, toilets) - breakfast included is : coffee/powder milk/tea/sugar + soft bread/butter/watermelon. Still better than nothing but I would not call it breakfast for an hotel. For « hostel », it’s not mentioned as a breakfast. It’s more like snacks where you can help yourself. - mosquitoes could enter from I don’t know where, even while locking everything
- city center - near bus station - room + bathroom - staff from restaurant friendly and polite :) I encourage the place to progress

LithuaniaDon’t get fooled about complimentary breakfast. You will only get a toast, jam and coffee that tastes nothing like coffee. Also on the way to the second floor mattresses are standing up drying. Lounge area maybe used to be a lounge are. Now it is boxes of stuff like storage room.

Australia-Dorms nice but very small. We also had a weird person in ours that did some unfavourable things. -Advised two days into the stay that our locker has the same key as bed next door. Thankfully everything was still there as we left it. -Shoes are not allowed upstairs but the floors are dirty and sticky. -Shower and toilets not very clean, always so wet, blocked and doors broken. -No communal areas unless you eat in their restaurant.
-Good free breakfast with tea/coffee. -Water refills always available.

Czech RepublicThe equipment in rooms (matrasses and wardrobes) are older and might be renewed. My room did not have a window, the AC was efficient enough but after turning one, there was a water leakage on my bed.
Very central location, a nice old charming house. The free breakfast was a benefit, there was a toast bread, jam, margarine, water mellon, tea and coffee. If this offer does not suit you, you can purchase your food and prepare it in the microwave oven which is available there.

MalaysiaThe rooms are upstairs, so the stairs might not be too friendly for elders.
Great location, near Little India. There's a personal storage locker at the front of the bed. Bed is comfy & cozy, aircon is cold. There are multiple shared bathrooms, come with heated water, slightly tight space, liquid soap available. Breakfast available at 8.30am, sometimes earlier. Self serve, toast, free flow of coffee & tea. Love the juicy watermelon. :) Friendly staffs. I would recommend this place to young ppl & travellers for a budget stay. Value for money. Will book again :)

AustraliaThe included breakfast was somewhat loveless and bland, some bread in a bag, buckets of margarine and one jam, average coffee with creamer, and some watermelon.
The location was excellent, right in the older part of Penang, not far from the main historical and cultural sights.
