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 KingdomThe showroom facility could have been cleaner. The bath mat was very damp and did not look like it had been exchanged for a while. There was a lot of lime build up in the shower. I paid 88 Euros for one night so I expected a little higher quality for the money.
The staff were helpful with information regarding access and key for a locker. The bedlinen and towel were clean. Bed was comfortable enough with personal light and phone charging facility. Good security system.

FranceToo expensive, but maybe it's the same everywhere in Rotterdam. There was a plant placed in the hallway, of which the water seemed like it wasn't cleaned for a whole month or so, so it stinked a little.
City center, next to a big art museum It was clean. Every bed had a curtain which made me feel protected privately. There is a small safe available in each room, but you have to ask for it at the welcoming desk. It took a while for the owner to find the keys.

United KingdomSadly the central location also meant the noise volume was ridiculous up until early morning hours. The room was scorching hot, and the box-like beds - while very private - only worked to trap all the heat in, making for a very uncomfortable nights sleep. Furthermore, the stairs. The stairs! I've never had to carry luggage up a worse staircase - it was extremely narrow and steep. I had to carefully plan how many times I'd need to leave the hostel just so I could minimise the amount of stair climbing involved. I was on top floor too! Also the rooms are a fully separate entrance from the reception, which was locked when I arrived. I never saw anyone inside besides when I checked in - and that's fine if you don't want to interact with anyone, but it kind of misses the communal spirit of hostels entirely for me. I could get past all of that and maybe, at a push, go again - but I won't. Because of the stairs.
The location is very central, right next to lots of great bars and restaurants. The beds were very contained and private, and checking in and out was very easy online.

GermanyThe street is too noisy at night since it is very central. The mat in the shower was always wet maybe because the shower curtain was not blocking the water properly. The staircase is too dirty. I got the upper bunk, since I'm a short person I had some trouble going up and down the ladder. If one person moves around the bed , everyone can feel it lol
Sheets and towel were clean. Hot water was always available.Had shower gel. Had a charging port near bed and a big mirror and lockers in room. But had to ask for keys tho. Central location, considerably near to the port and the central station.

BelgiumAlthough the location is very central, the street is really noisy until very late at night. The room was perhaps rather small for the four of us and the stay could have been improved with social areas and/or a kitchen.
The room was really comfortable and the bed felt like heaven after a whole day of walking. The staff was very helpful. The room had a private bathroom.

PolandUnfortunately my sheet was dirty, so I'm pretty sure they don't change it every time. I decided to put towel on my bed and slept on it anyway. Also the room is very loud from the busy pub street, so I highly recommend you earplugs. No cettle there or any bowl or plate. So forget even for cereals for breakfast :(
Comfortable beds, good and clean bathroom. Good pressure under the shower and hot water. For this money it was ok if you just want to sleep, take shower and go out for all day long. There was also a fridge :)
