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.).

IrelandThere was some hair on the bedsheets and a couple of small random stains? Nothing crazy, kind of what you’d expect in a hostel. We didn’t know until we arrived but they have no lift and we were on the 3rd floor, the stairs were steep and tbh unsettling to climb up and down. One of our group had a fractured leg, he could still walk but was not ideal to climb 3 flights of stairs each day.
Location lovely and beside an ALDI which was very handy, staff were so friendly! Beds were pretty comfortable and we got our own bathroom which was nice. Price was incredible!

IrelandThe stairs to the rooms were steep but it's like that all throughout Amsterdam so it's not a unique issue. Some of the people I traveled with didn't personally like the beds but I found them comfortable.
Really enjoyed the accomodation we stayed in a room for 5 as a group. The room was clean and the bathroom looked brand new location was alright it was beside the metro and tram so travel was easy. It's a very short walk to the Heineken brewery and museums. For the price it was great and I'll definitely be back. Closing note the staff was lovely

Swedenthe walls are slim in the rooms. so you con here some other visitors. nothing to worry about, just to be prepared for that. a bigger closet could be nice. but for a short stay it is perfect. i wish you would announce that you should come with your own lock and keys.
very good and simple rooms. very nice for the bought. nice clean good Wi-Fi and nice people. location id great. its quite and not next to the city main bars and entertainment, so everything is nicer. I think that a mini fridge in the room will be very appreciated.

ChinaThe wall was thin so I often heard other guests speaking loudly at night, which was annoying. The hot water in the shower was unstable and once the water was basically just warm and I had to finish my shower very quickly. A 10 euro cash deposit was required for the key card, which was fine and you could get it back when check out, but if you don't live in Europe and want to spend all the cash before leaving this would be a pain.

TurkeySince it is a budget hostel they can offer more things in loby such as free coffee , kettle and more kitchenware. Our room was on 3rd floor and stairs are not easy , it is not recomemded for families with kids.
Hotel is really cost effective. It has great location and inside city you do not need any public transportation. Room was really clean and it has enough space.

United KingdomNote that there isn't any lifts, so if you have heavier luggage this could be inconvenient as the steps on the stairs are narrow. Room is a bit small but is good value for what you pay for.
Good value for money when you want a private room for just a few people. Also had an excellent location that was within walking distance to most attractions and easy to take public transport to other attractions further north as well (though a 25 mins walk is also doable!)

United StatesThe room was very dated and dingy. They supplied us with one single use shampoo/body wash packet for a 3 night stay. The walls were dirty and the shower was awful. Beds were not made during the daily service and as far as I could tell nothing was cleaned during that time either - just new towels given. They also charge a €10 cash deposit on all key cards. You do get this back when you return the cards at checkout but you need to have cash on you. The walls were also very thin and you could very easily hear the people in the rooms above and beside you. Overall it's a good budget option, but definitely treat it more like a hostel than a hotel.
The location was great, within a 30 minute walk of everything! Right across from an Aldi, close to the Metro, and near some awesome Italian restaurants. The price was also great for the location.

GermanyWe were on a 3rd floor and the stairs are very steep but that's normal in Amsterdam, just watch out if you are not able to. We didn't know that we weren't gonna get towels but you can rent them for 1€ each.
The location is excellent, walking distance from Leidesplein where all the night life is. It's also very close from the Van Gogh & Rijksmuseum so very much on point for people who also want cultural things. The receptionist was super nice and helpful and you can also bring your own food (or warm it up in their microwave) and eat in the lobby (there are tables).
