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.).

United KingdomWe had a great stay at a great rate so I highly recommend ROOM. Maybe some fruit with breakfast might have been a good addition.
Staff were so friendly and helpful and knowledgeable, this really made an impact on the quality of our stay. Sam and the team shared their enthusiasm for Rotterdam with great tips, suggestions and guidance. Location was fantastic, right in the middle of things, near the water taxi! and easy to walk to great spots along the water. The room was lovely, high ceilinged in one of the few pre-war buildings in the city.

FranceThe acoustic insulation is not very good, so if you are afraid of traffic and neighbour noises, it won't please you. But that's really the only downside to an overall very good stay.
Location is great to discover the city, just close to the Erasmus Bridge. The breakfast has overexceeded our expectations and is a great deal. The hostel's personel was very helpful and friendly and the hostel itself is well decorated and felt like a big home. The kitchen is well furnished and convenient. The common room was really cosy. That's where you have breakfast and where you can be served good tap beer.

IsraelThere was a horrible smell from the drain. Probably a pluming problem going on because the water pressure was low and it took a lot of time for the water to go down the drain. We were looking forward to use the laundry room but weren't able to. There is only one washing machine and one dryer (And the dryer takes hours per load).
Good location, lovely staff

I liked interior design. A location near the Central Railway station was very comfortable. Personel was super nice and helpful!!!

GermanyMy bed wasn't exactly clean, but that might be a single incident. The shared men's bathroom, on the other hand, was clean most of the time. It would be great, however, to have at least a sink in your own room. The hostel is quite expensive: I payed around 30€/night off-season for a 14-people (!) mixed dorm. Furthermore, there's not much of an atmosphere, I met very few people compared to other places - which, to be fair, might be due to the fact that there aren't that many backpackers travelling to Rotterdam.
The staff is very nice and helpful, you can ask them anything. They also organise activities like pasta night. Hostel Room is basically well-equipped, with a kitchen, shared bathrooms and a big living room that's very comfortable. It's great that they have curtains on the beds for some privacy. Biggest advantage: The central location, close to the port, Erasmusbrug and the city center.
