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.).

IrelandNoisy road but you are warned Very warm in common areas and bathrooms even with fans…easy to get bitten Very annoying that people are allowed to do photoshoots in the common areas. Flash of a camera going off doesn’t help relax The cats didn’t bother me in general but seeing them on the tables in the kitchen area where people eat isn’t the best look
Amazing contact prior to arrival. An issue was sorted straight away and all questions answered Very friendly Cafe is lovely-fresh smoothies, coffee and bagels-a little pricey but felt it was worth it Bright spot in the strange place that is Ipoh 2 pillows Provide locks

United Kingdomnothing to say here, really enjoyed my stay
This is one of the loveliest hostels I've stayed in. There is ample communal space with a really innovative swing chairs and table in the kitchen area. The staff are kind and welcoming. The room is spacious and the beds some of the comfiest I've stayed in. There were nice little touches like some earplugs and a towel which made the stay even cosier. The vibe was fabulous and there was a balance of people chilling out and working. I worked a couple of days there and the wifi worked well for both zoom calls and browser work. Location wise you're slightly off the beaten track BUT Ipoh is small and walkable. Within 15 minutes you can get to what you want to see. Would recommend!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
We had an en suite room, which was spotless, comfortable, and quiet. We met nice folk around the huge table in the dining area, those that didn't have their faces in their phones, that is! Tea and coffee are available, with fruit, cereals, and biscuits. The little coffee place in the garden serves lovely coffees and smoothies, and light snacks.

GermanyThe door of our family room was facing to the community room and the kitchen. So it can be a bit noisy. From 10pm to 8am hosts have to be silent. Also you hear the big road next to the hostel. The breakfast is only toast and jam and peanut butter and some muesli. Coffee and tea is provided. But there is a fridge where you can put your own groceries.
The location is quite good and central. To the old city centre you can walk within 15 minutes. The staff was helpful and friendly. The building is nice and there is a cafe inside that is open during the day. The hostel provides what you need and for a short stay it is a good option.
