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 KingdomLounge can be quite loud when a few guests decide to watch a movie on the projector. Rooms feel a bit grim and no curtain - so basic but not provided. Kitchen seemed perpetually dirty. Hobs often don’t work, and only one dirty crusty old worn out oven.
Comfy chair in the lounge.

The accommodation was right in the city and it was easy to access nearby restaurants, bars and hotels. Its also not far from the river and children's playground and swings.

AustraliaThe kitchen facilities need updating (not enough cooktops, and the oven is old and outdated). Also be weary that there's no lift to the second floor if you have heavy luggage. Had to park 5-10 minutes walk away (staff are helpful and provide suggestions for non-metered parking), but there is a 10 minute zone out front where you can unload your luggage.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. You get what you pay for. The beds were comfortable, and the showers were clean enough. The lounge area is quite comfortable with plenty of tables and powerpoints.

It was a decent hostel, very big, therefore a bit anonymous, you either like it or not. It was clean, plugs right next to the bed, enough toilets and showers. Clean kitchen with good equipment.

United Kingdombathrooms had to be shared which cold potentially cause ques. Also walls are thin and can hear people talking. No elevator so had to carry my luggage up a flight of stairs which is not good if you are carrying heavy luggage.
Good to meet and socialise with people all over the world and they had some fun board games to play as well as pool tables, darts, and other social events. Room was ok size and had some lockers to store items in. Close distance to city center.
