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.).

SwedenExtra fee if you didn't want to clean the room yourself when leaving and this was not mentioned when booking. A lot of people running in and out of the front door in the morning which was noisy.
Interesting collections of butterflies and insects to see. Very good cooking facilities if you're staying longer and nice garden with tables.

CanadaThe shower was a bit scattered water. I might be that the island is short of water.
The staff here are very friendly and helpful. We were up late for breakfast. They opened extra hour for us and also gave us tips where to go on the island. It's a nature lover's paradise.

United StatesWe were surprised that we had to clean the room at the end of our stay.
The room was perfect for one person, the windows opened for plenty of fresh air ventilation, and every room had beautiful butterfly pictures on the wall! It was very clean and quiet and felt very safe. The buildings opened out onto a beautiful meadow which featured little tables and chairs where you could sit and relax or eat breakfast. It was a lovely setting to relax and start or end the day.

SwedenThe walls are so thin that you hear other people passing through the corridors. All the doors seem to shut loudly. We didn't have decent sleep because other people's noises woke us up repeatedly. The hostel should at least provide earplugs, it would solve the problem. And honestly, for it being a simple hostel, the prices are exaggerated. We didn't book breakfast but saw the buffet: simple supplies for sandwiches and musli. Would expect more for 110 sek. Again - overpriced.
En suite bathrooms are rare in hostels - a big plus! Large kitchen, quiet location, overall good atmosphere.

IrelandI stayed in a private room with bathroom, but had to pay extra for sheets and towels. A "do" and "don't" list on the wall of how the room should be left, and the location of the cleaning tools. I am in agreement to saving water and electricity and being clean, but this was like being in a hostel, not a private room. And the room needed to be cleaned by me before leaving or a large sum is payable. While i was there the weather was dry, where the cars are parked and the walk to the rooms is mostly grass, i dont know what it is like in wet weather, or how one is to keep their shoes clean.
Good location, great views. Friendly staff, good kitchen facility. Plenty of free parking

CyprusIt wasn't clear from the reservation information that the bed linen and towels are only available for a fee. Also there was no option for a double bed for a couple. The cleaning is done by the people staying there (in this case us) so there is no guarantee about the hygiene. Also the heater was manually off when we checked-in and we didn't notice that, so we froze over night. In general is more like an overpriced hostel.
Pet friendly stay with common kitchen available and automatic check-in and check-out!

United StatesIf expectations are not for a hostel you may get disappointed to clean after you.
All reviews need to be based on expectations and what the place offers. This is a hostel (vandrarhem) on edge of a large nature area (Alvaret). Based on hostel expectations this is top notch and very friendly.

GermanyWe were really surprised by the STF Station Linné. As we are both scientists, we loved the hostels concept. But also for non-scientists, this house is a really nice place to stay. The kitchen was very clean and well-equipped and the staff was really friendly and helped us to stay an additional night as we wanted to extend our stay. The only down-side was that beddings and towels were not included in the price, but the rooms are not that expensive so that's okay.
