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.).

Nicaragua- No wifi in the room. There is only one small sitting area (only 3 chairs) with wifi, and even in that area the internet was too slow to be useful. There was also no cell service in the building, so we couldn't even use our phone data. - The entire place, especially the room and bathroom, is pretty run down. The pictures were definitely taken a LONG time ago. It looks as though there was no work done on it in 20 years. - The door was obviously kicked in before, and was so poorly repaired that even when you closed and locked it, it could still sometimes be opened from the outside. - There were roaches in our room, so we had to carefully unpack and clean everything out before we left to ensure we didn't bring any of them with us... - The floors and bathroom were dirty and falling apart, and the shower door had to be lifted up and moved when opening/closing. - The AC worked, but was incredibly loud, even with earplugs in. - Uncomfortable and sagging bed. - No window in our room. - Shower issues (broken shower head, low pressure, etc). I wouldn't return due to the lack of wifi, door/lock issues, and generally how run down it is, but if you don't mind the issues I mentioned AND it's the absolute cheapest option there is (and all you really care about is saving money, then it would probably be fine for one night (two maximum). However, if there is something available for a few dollars more per night, I'd suggest staying there instead of here.
- Some people seem to complain about the location, but it's a decent spot. On a busy "walking street" with lots of shops and fast food options, close to Old town, close to the sea food market, and a short walk from the metro (which goes to the airport for $0.88 USD. - At the time it was around the same price as two rooms in a hostel, but you get a private room and bathroom. Otherwise I would have rated it a 4 out of 10.

United KingdomI stayed twice & the first time was quite noisy due to the noise transfer between rooms. Door lock didn’t seem that secure - although property entry is very secure. WiFi doesn’t work in every room. My first room (No.20) was perfect but my second stay (No.10) had zero WiFi.
Private room with ensuite for the same price as many hostels 5 minutes away in the old town. Great A/C for those who need it. Large supermarket is just opposite. Coca-Cola Cafe a couple of minutes walk & 10 minutes walk to the metro.

EcuadorWished I knew before that hostal is in Pedestrian street. Meaning a taxi cannot bring you there. You need to walk 5 minutes in a rather sketchy street worrying for your belongings. Also, difficult to locate. Luckily I had a InDrive driver who went above and beyond and helped me trying to contact the property (unresponsive) and then search for it on the pedestrian street.. Hostal totally unresponsive. They indicate a WhatsApp number, phone number and mail on booking. However on WhatsApp you just get an automated reply that 'they are not available right now'. And on the messages and oy phoning they don't answer at all. Also needed to ring a long time before they opened. Lots of stairs going up and down. So if there is no one to help, you'll suffer. If you're lucky, when you leave and someone is at the reception they might help you carry your suitcase. Shower only cold water. They charged me twice, once in cash on arrival and some days later on my card. So I came back to talk to them and they were giving excuses. No liquid soap, only hard soap. No drinking water dispenser.

EcuadorWished I knew before that hostal is in Pedestrian street. Meaning a taxi cannot bring you there. You need to walk 5 minutes in a rather sketchy street worrying for your belongings. Room given was towards hallway and a seating and eating area. So super noisy! Plus the window faces towards the hallway. So annoying light getting into the room, but no fresh air! Shower only cold water. Stayed in hostal 1 previous night and they charged me twice, once in cash and once some days later on my card. So when I came back had to talk to them and they were giving excuses. Lots of stairs going up and down. So if there is no one to help, you'll suffer. If you're lucky, when you leave and someone is at the reception they might help you carry your suitcase. But not at 5am in the morning. Very unresponsive.
