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.).

GermanyNo handheld shower heads, just rain showers - not everyone likes to get their hair wet every time they shower, but I guess that’s just personal preference :) Kitchen says closed from 10p-6a. Makes sense that for safety reasons you don’t want people cooking in the middle of the night, but people leaving early should be able to get some hot water for tea or grab a yoghurt out of the fridge. Staff was very nice though and opened the kitchen a bit earlier for me so I could grab my food :)
Kitchen clean and usable 3 industrial sized fridges with space to put stuff. They actually clean cubbies out so there’s space to put food Organized activities blow dryer available to borrow from reception Can safely store luggage before Checkin Kiwi experience bus stops right in front Inviting hangout space on second floor Staff is friendly and super helpful

United StatesYou couldn't open the windows so it got pretty stuffy, luckily one small fan in the room. Wish the pods had airflow.
Really chill vibe. This didn't feel like a party hostel at all and I'm so happy for that! Everyone in my room was nice and it was silent for sleeping.

New ZealandMy bed had a small clump of hair from the previous person or the cleaner who knows that came off to the blanket when I grabbed it. It’s not a big deal I can understand that it’s something that can be easily missed but it would have been much better experience for me if that didn’t happen.
Absolutely stunning common area. Comfortable bed. My dorm was nice and quiet. Facilities were clean and pretty. Locker was included.

New ZealandOne more time in Auckland, one more time in Lylo. I just can’t describe how much i loved this place. We first went 1 year ago and got the experiences of the pod’s, it was amazing! This time we went on a budget double room and was fantastic. The space, bed, shared amenities. Easy check-in, check-out, only 5 minutes walking from the sky tower, it’s just perfect. Staff is always nice & helpful. I always recommend Lylo, best place ever in Auckland, you won’t regret it.

New ZealandWould be awesome to lend towels (I know they could be rented), and the dimmer in my pod didn't work so light was pretty bright. Wasn't sure how to check out but staff were able to advise.
Loved the atmosphere, and the wee cabin type bunks, lots of privacy and storage for your stuff. Feels super safe, staff so helpful and friendly. Good storage and amenities in bunks (plugs and such). Thanks!
