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.).

FranceI didn't have a light and a place for plugging my phone into charge. However I think that staff would have helped me of I had asked, but I just took one from another empty bed.
The staff is very nice. Emplacement a bit out of the center, which is not necessarily bad because it's quieter and more authentic. Kettle to use for free. Clean bathroom

GermanyThe only downside is that the bed was quite hard and that there is no elevator.
Cheap, clean and convenient stay for 1 night right next to the train station. It exactly met our expectations. We had a private room with a double bed and 2 kids beds (though we were only 2 people, so didn't need them). The room also has a desk and an office chair, so it would also be suitable for some remote work. The bathroom was right outside our room in the hallway, but it's still a private bathroom. Our room was the only one on the floor and the bathroom was only for us. Inside, there is a toilet, and a shower, both were clean and nice to use, even if they are very basic. The whole hotel uses a smart doorlock system with passcodes. For the main door there is one number that is changed every day. And for the room there is a different number. These are shown to you on checkin and you can take a screenshot. The advantage is that you can come and go at any time.

New ZealandClean, spacious, secure, good value, and run by a very nice woman who has some English. Plenty of eating options in the area. Taxi should be around 80,000 Dong to main attractions downtown ie walking street bars, war remnants museum etc, depending on traffic, Grab may be cheaper. Within 200 metres of the Saigon railway station, Elegant Homestay is tucked away down a cute lane/alleyway. Highly recommended.

ItalyMaybe the hall at the ground floor could be better organised so that it could have the function of a common area.
Very nice the lady at the reception, the room was very very clean, and I liked the location because it is in a not very touristic area so you get to be close to the locals.

United KingdomThe owner of this homestay is just the best! She is so warm and friendly and always tried to ensure my stay was pleasant, recommending restaurants, telling me where I could go to print documents etc. One night, I was unable to sleep due to extremely noisy guests in the dorm and she even moved me to another room at 2am! She has taken on board previous reviews and now the top bunks do have power sockets and you can access light switches easily. Everything seems new and very clean. Thank you!

United Kingdom8-bed female only dorm: The light switches for the room and the bathroom are behind the top bunk beds nearest to the door, which is a little annoying when you want to use the bathroom and would be a bit of a problem if someone was in the bed. There is no lock on the bathroom door but you can lock the main door to the room from inside. The top bunks do not have access to a power socket but bottom bunks have two. Most of these problems are design flaws which would be expensive to fix - not really the fault of the hostel and would only be a problem if the room was full.
There are a lot of shops and food places very close by. Everything in the hostel feels brand new, the room has air conditioning (with remote control), the mattress/pillow are comfortable and the wifi worked perfectly. The bathroom is nice and it is in the room so you only share with the people in the room. There was toothpaste, shower gel and shampoo available in the bathroom and I was given a towel and a toothbrush when I checked in. There are good-sized lockers in the room - keys are provided but there are also hoops to use your own lock. It is nice and quiet, you can just about hear the busy street in the distance but barely noticeable much quieter than most other places I’ve stayed in the city center. The receptionist was very nice, super helpful and spoke English.
