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.).

Apple and Ness are absolutely amazing hosts. They are very helpful and give tourist information and help booking tours and scooters. The terrace is great to interact with other travelers, which creates a really nice ambience. The hostel has a little dog called Wesley which is amazing!

United KingdomThe beds are kept open with no privacy curtains. The breakfast could be improved. The music in the hostel reception wasn't the best. No lockers for your stuff.
The hosts are incredible. This is one of the few hostels that made me feel comfortable and cared for. Apple had brilliant recommendations for me and always asked how I was and helped me sort out my slow boat in Laos. The balcony is a good place to socialise as well as the front entrance. There is an Olympic barbell, weights, dumbbells and a yoga mat. The location of the hostel is superb, being right by the bus station and close to the market. It is enough for 1 or 2 days. Breakfast is simple with coffee, tea and bananas. Plenty of bathrooms, showers and toilets which were all kept clean. Met some very cool people there which I travelled with on the slow boat.

CanadaThe top floor bathroom is smelly. I think the waste from the other bathrooms gets put in the bin up there, but I am not sure. I had food poisoning and had to spend a lot of time in there unfortunately. For showering I used other bathrooms.
The location is perfect. Just a few steps from the bus station and Night Bazaar and 5 min walk to the Saturday Night Market, which is huge and full of incredible food and anything else you can imagine. The hosts are tied for first place as the friendliest I have met in all my travels so far. It's easy to meet other travellers here.
