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.).

New ZealandA small bedside lamp would have been convenient; also a small litter bin. Other than that everything had been covered.
My room was very clean, as was the kitchen and common room. The shower was basic yet water hot with plenty of pressure. The heater in my room was effective. Duke is in a quiet location.

United KingdomThe kitchen and lounge felt a bit tired and the shower was very basic and small. It was hard to get things dry with the little timed heater in the room.
Glen was a warm and friendly host. Our room was spacious and it was handy to have a sink in the room. Some parts of the hostel felt freshly renovated.

New ZealandThe building needs to be upgraded and tidied up. The room had alot of condensation on the windows in the morning but it's understandable for the age of the building. If the building was upgraded it probably would help.
The Duke is an old building with lots of history. The owners were very accommodating and it's warm.

United KingdomRoom was an ugly green colour which made the whole room feel a bit dingy. The hostel has a multicoloured theme which is nice around the general place, but one single strong colour in a small room can be a bit much.
Good location, clean rooms and facilities. The kitchen was large and well equipped, even had some free tea and milk for guests. The decor in the general hostel was nice.

United KingdomThe only thing to fault it was slightly cold at night as don’t think it had central heating but the rooms did come with heaters. But it was manageable!
The hostel was warm and had a lovely atmosphere to it. It wasn’t to most modern hostel we have been to but probably one of our favourites. It had a personality and the interior was fun and a good atmosphere. The owner was extremely kind and very fun to talk to, definitely making our stay 100% better. The room we had was private and was very good value for money, would definitely stay again if in the area! It gave free tea and coffee alongside milk which was also a lovely touch!
