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.).

PanamaThe mattress was a little saggy and a top sheet would have been nice.
The area was pretty, safe, quiet and close to restaurants and supermarkets. The staff was friendly and conveniently, spoke English. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortably appointed.

GermanyWe would have been happy about a real cooking area and a comfortable common area - both of it is not really existing.
Our room had a comfortable bed, enough space for our luggage, an air conditioning and a good bathroom. We were close to supermarkets, restaurants and also quite close to the metro.

FinlandI had a problem with the toilet which didn't flush. When I asked the staff to fix this, someone came to fix it, but the toilet was not working again. I couldn't use it for most of my stay because they told me that the plumber was not in town. This was a bit inconvenient as you can imagine. I asked if I could change rooms since I had already extended my stay, but there were no rooms available so they gave me a key to another room in another floor ( just for the use of toilet) I feel like the communication with the staff was bad, because they seemed to not care and were giving false promises every time I communicated regarding this issue. There was no cleaning of the room while I was there. Also the "kitchen" is tiny and looked dirty. I would not stay here again since the attitude of the staff was so careless and the toilet issue was handled so poorly.
The location and the size of the room. The price was also not too bad for a private room in Panama City.

United StatesNo hot water, This is really not like a Hostel, this is like a apartment (with no kitchen) they do not clean daily, or anything like that, the locks on the doors, suck, not very secure. Its Ok, but not what I expected for a hostel.
Location- Close to Via Argentina, where all is happening. Nice Area, not a bad price.

RomaniaThere was only a mini fridge in the basement for a 5 floor hotel. No hostel vibe, no common area, no table where you could have a meal. The kitchenette was really small with only two cups and not enough silverware. Again, for a 5 floor hotel with plenty of rooms on each floor. If you want a clean place to sleep for a night, then it's good. For socializing, fridge space and kitchen commodities, look somewhere else. Lacks soul
Very clean room, comfy beds.

United StatesRoom was not as described. The amenities on the website made it seem like there would be an outside area (patio) and small kitchen area to cook but there wasn't. Maybe this was for private rooms only (i was in a dorm) but that is not how the website explained it.

RomaniaVery basic and outdated room. Had to ask 2 days in a row for towels after we arrived (they kept saying they don’t have clean towels to give us). Supposedly you get free coffee in the morning but it was never ready before 11 when we left the accommodation… No cleaning in 4 days. Very bored staff.
Located in a good area, close to coffee shops.

United KingdomThis isn't really a hostel, more a budget hotel. There's not really a communal space, so not much opportunity for socialising if that's what you're looking for. The kitchen is small and was pretty dirty for the duration of our stay- we ate out most days instead.
Large, clean room with A/C and private ensuite. The location was good, in the Obarrio neighbourhood and 5-10 min walk to good restaurants and large supermarket.

SwitzerlandWhen I arrived there was no one there at reception. Another guest let me in and it took like another 20 minutes for someone to show up. No hot water. It is not that bad coz it's so hot outside but a few degrees more in water temperature would have worked for me. The toilet (room 1 E) makes a strange loud noise for 5 minutes after flushing. Old design and room.
Location is not bad, close to public transport. Room as such is ok though nothing special.
