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 StatesIt's a bit complicated to get there for the first time, you have to walk through narrow passages and it could be a bit cleaner.
I would say it's the cheapest option, you can meet good people, a lot of temples just by walking and you have a great view of the river.

United KingdomThe whole place smelled a little and the dorm is just one big shed. You have a mattress and a mosquito net. No water refill station. Down some alleys which can make it a little hard to find but we arrived late and found it fine, so wouldn't say it's a problem.
The place was good for one nights stay. It's cheap, and if you're budget then you'll have a roof over you head for the night. If I travelled on my own, I'd stay here to save money. My partner didn't like it.

TurkeySome sockets didn't have electricity, not a big deal. Also not a hard thing to fix.
The place is tucked away behind buildings near the pier. It's a great place to rest after a long flight. Beds are hard but comfy and a fan is more than enough for cooling off. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would come back.

CanadaIt's a little hard to find the first time, although they do a good job of posting signs in the alley ways. Basic and rustic accommodation, but that's what I like, and it's hard to beat the bargain price.

CambodiaThe location is great and the rooms are affordable. However, the dorm needs to be taken down and rebuilt; it's a grass hut that is rife with wood rot and vermin. The dorm has got to go, and only then will I return.

Ben, the host, is really kind and welcoming! The position of the guesthouse is really good: close to Khao San Road and to many bus stops from where you can easily reach the main attractions in Bangkok. The riverview lives up to the name of the guesthouse...😊

I liked everything. This guest house was absolutely unique and that is why I liked this guest house so much. Even though it was a shared toilet/bathroom but it was still clean. This guest house is a little inside but I would recommend all of you to stay there at least once as the view from the hotel is amazing. It is near the river and one can also see the famous bridge. Food market and bus stop are also nearby.
