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.).

ChileIs an old property, the wc in the second floor is not working so you have to add water manually. In general doesn’t seem as a clean house
The vibe of this hostel was really nice. The people were really comfy and they help me with some issues that I had. Burger is other must in this hotel, the love is around him :)

SwitzerlandCompletely new to traveling solo & staying in hostels, I was a little nervous, but everyone (staff & travelers) were so friendly. Had the most amazing time! Was supposed to stay 2 nights, but extended for the full week because I enjoyed it so much! The rooms have limited beds each, so you’re not staying with a huge amount of people in the same room — very enjoyable. There’s plenty of showers and toilets for everyone. All very clean too!

RomaniaThe mattress on the bed was a bit thin, after 3 nights I could feel the strain it had on my body.
The location was perfect, close to everything and easy to access. The room I stayed in was big and cosy, with direct access to a kitchen/lounge area, shower and bathroom. Everything was clean and nice.

GermanyIt is a house, for example, only the main door has a lock, all the rooms don't have a lock so it's easy to enter to any room. Also the whole floor shares a bathroom, so it's aprox 8 people per bathroom. The bunk beds were made out of wood and a little bit old, so when I climbed on top the whole thing would giggle, waking up the person on the bottom.
The location was awesome, it had a full kitchen to use and the staff was extremely nice. Everything was super clean!

HungaryThere are round stairs that take you up to your room, so if you have problems in your legs and can't climb stairs, it's better to ask if there is a ground floor room. It was a bit challenging for me to bring up and down my bags on the stairs. For the value of the money paid, I think a snack(on breakfast) would be nice.
Super close to the city center and to the harbour Easy accessible, so I was out exploring and came to rest a bit in the common area (not big though) but it was possible as it is close. They have cutlery in the kitchen if you need something to cook or prepare for yourself. I loved that check-out is at noon so I was able to roam around in the morning and then go grab my bags to leave to the airport.

United StatesI think the common area downstairs where people sit could be a little bit more comfortable. Especially since check-in isn't until 4pm. There isn't a place to lock up the luggage for when people go out, but you can leave luggage under the staircase. This made me a little concerned about going out for too long because I didn't know the vibe of the place yet. It takes me a little bit to warm up to people and places from my own life experiences, so I like being able to lock things up in a closet or in a room. But once I understood the overall feel of the place I felt comfortable leaving my things under the stairwell during check out.
I loved their dog Burger, who greats everyone at the door and is friendly and loving and makes everyone feel like they are home. I like that there is an upstairs and downstairs kitchen and a place to do work in an office. It was such a friendly atmosphere that several of the guests got together to cook and eat and chat together in the downstairs common area. People washed dishes together and it had a great friendly traveler's energy. I felt safe and welcomed. And I made friends. It's also walking distance from all the main attractions, stores, the shopping center, museums, food, and touristy areas, and the harbor. Excellent location if you don't really know your way around but far enough from the central shopping area that you can have a restful sleep if you are traveling overseas. I went for the northern lights but that's all about luck and timing and even though that part of the trip didn't work out, I made great memories.
