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.).

United KingdomWe got bitten in the room (which is a given on an island) but could have been nice to have a mosquito net or space/hooks to tie our one up. It’s not going to affect the score I give as it’s expected but just a little something to help improve
It’s local, on walking street and close to everything. Very lovely staff.

United KingdomGiven the numbers of showers and toilets there are only 2 sinks which often meant queues in the bathroom to wash hands or clean teeth as people are getting ready infront of these. The air con in the private room was barely working and the room was pretty hot, luckily theres a ceiling fan which helped to get a breeze. The air con certainly needs regassing. We left the curtains closed the keep the sun out but there were always opened by housekeeping hence warming the room back up. Staff were polite and helpful and we had no real issues, and enjoyed our stay!
The property was located smack in the middle of the main walking street with lots of bars and restaurants nearby, easy to get to from the jetty. The private room was spacious enough with a large bed. The bathrooms were communal and well maintained with free toiletries. Guests had to leave shoes at the entrance which helped to keep the spaces clean. Theres a lovely coffee shop downstairs but expensive considering its a hostel, we couldnt afford to eat there.

IrelandA bit noisy at night time but to be expected given the location. A bin in the room would be helpful.
Very spatious room with a generous bed and comfortable bed linen. The communal toilets were left spotlessly clean by the hard working staff who also provided fresh towels regularly. The location was excellent - the whole island was within walking distance. The complimentary tea and coffee was bloomin lovely!

ChileThe staff could be more friendly, the lady behind the reception wasn't very helpful and the staff always had angry faces in general. There was no bin in the room or bathroom, so you have to get a bag and collect your rubbish and throw outside. The shared bathroom was enough for all the guests but alway smelt like drain, the staff didn't use any quimical for clean, just water. Also, there was any light in the bathroom, very dark when use the toilet or shower. Is not a negative point but be aware they will require a deposit of 500 baht for the key.
Location was amazing just in the main street, you can walk everywhere from here, there are plenty of restaurants, shops, souvenirs, dives center. We stayed in the private room with share bathroom and was very comfy, one of the best mattress we had in Asia (we've been travelling for 4 months), the AC works perfectly. Despite the area is very noisy at night and beside and front of our room was a share room, we could sleep amazing all the nights.

AustraliaIt would be nice to have a private bathroom but of course that would be more expensive so it's all good. Shared bathroom was surprisingly clean
Amazing location, right in the middle of walking Street. Plenty of restaurants, 7/11, shops etc. around Maybe 5 mins walk to each beach. Shared bathroom was very clean. Occasionally smelled a little but I think that's expected. The halls etc. Were very clean. We were in the private room - Air conditioner was amazing, fan pointed at the bed made it even better. We had 4 pillows which we haven't been getting elsewhere which was nice. Just a nice looking room. Didn't find it loud.

United KingdomIf you're looking to socialise and meet other travellers in the hostel then there isn't really much of a communal area so I'd suggest looking somewhere else.
A really lovely hostel right in the middle of Walking Street - music can be heard late into the night but that didn't bother us although for some it might be an issue. The Cafe was delicious - you pay more for 'international dishes' and no options for local dishes as breakfast. Shared bathrooms were always very clean and towels/beds were changed and made daily.

Slovakia- insane amount of mosquitoes in the common area, impossible to sit there for longer time - I stayed for 9 nights, 3 of which I had older men in my dorm which made me feel uncomfortable and they were snoring super loud. The staff didn’t help with the issue - the private curtain was only on the long side of the bed, so it wasn’t 100% private - 3 out of 4 showers were super small - Wi-Fi wasn’t always the best, it got laggy at night
