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.).

PortugalI'm sorry I have to say this because i promised to rate well but I couldn't sleep well because I had a lot of bites from moving creatures like bed bugs. They bit me many times that I woke many times to pick them out of the bed and my clothes. They were bloody.
The staff was very helpful, the bathrooms and toilets were okay. The room and bed were comfortable.

PortugalThe place is not at all able to receive people. - as soon as you enter the hostel, you feel a strong smell of insecticide, incense and frying. It's horrible! - they don't speak Portuguese and very bad English, so the communication is terrible! - there is only one bathroom for all rooms, with only ONE shower for all people. This shower is even in a tiny space without a window or crack in the door (yes, there is no key in the bathroom). - the beds are full of mold and smell bad. As I had booked, I had to stay in the place for two days and only saw them making the beds. They didn't change any bed linen during those days. - I found spiders and bedbugs in the rooms, according to photos. - There is no towel service. -I arrived in the summer and the room didn't have air conditioning or even a fan. They leave the window open, which leaves the room full of mosquitoes and mosquitoes. - Still about the room, the window is straight to the street, so all night long you hear people on the street screaming, listening to music, drunk and all kinds of noise possible all night long. Impossible to sleep! - There is a kitchen, but it is forbidden to be used by guests! - A very serious point is that they wanted to charge me a €50 shorts at the entrance! In other words, I only recommend it to those who want to be angry and disgusted during their stay. This place is dirty, noisy, without the basics such as a bathroom or shower and with a team without any service capacity. In fact, if you notice the positive comments here, they are all Indians/nepales who are friends of the owners of the place and with that, forged! RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

SlovakiaBe careful, bedbugs! I didn’t sleep all night, I was bitten by bedbugs in a room on the first floor. Apparently no one changes the bed every time, this is my opinion, because the sheet shows traces of blood of crushed insects by the previous guest (which I did not immediately pay attention to), perhaps it does not wash. When I woke up at night from bites and turned on the light, there were bugs on the wall and below the bed of the second level. All the sleeping clothes in which I slept had to be thrown away.

ItalyThe hostel is in the heart of the city and well connected by public transportation. In few minutes it is easy to get at cathedral by walk. The hostel is on one of main street of Porto with many cafes, restaurants and shops. I have also appreciated clients receptions managed by Alex, a kind and available person.

United KingdomThere is nothing I do not like.
The rooms are very clean. The toilets are also very clean. The location is very good, you can easily walk to any tourist attractions. There are mini markets (they called it minipreco) nearby where you can get water, or any other essential stuff easily. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, they allowed us for early check in and even upgraded us to a four-people room when we actually booked for a 6-people one, to fulfil my request for having my friend and I to be located in the same room together. Staff were so nice that they will always make sure with us that everything is fine.
