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.).

ArgentinaI LOVED the space in the common area! The fireplace, loft, big windows, many tables and chairs and couches. SUPER comfortable and pleasing to the eye with the art and adornment.

SingaporeThe room was warm and bed was comfy. The bathroom was clean everyday which is the plus point for me. Shampoo and soap are provided, breakfast was simple but gets you full. Staff were helpful. Walkable to city center.

AustraliaInternals of the hostel/room could do with a refresh but all ok as is, in terms of function and usability
Warm and welcoming staff. The hostel has a nice large common area/dining space to meet fellow travellers. The room was generally neat and tidy and cleaning performed regularly. Good location too. Mid way between the bus station and town centre. Walking distance to all. Great views from common area!

AustraliaNothing to dislike.
The staff were super helpful, informative and friendly. The place has a stunning view and super friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast with eggs, toast, cereal, juice, coffee, fruits and biscuit 🍪 was delicious. Activities to enjoy and a comfy, cosy place to hang out. There is a bar n kitchen to order food n drink or a separate kitchen to cook your own meals.

ItalyRooms are quite small and top bunk in some rooms may feel claustrophobic as it’s brushing the ceiling. Ladder to climb top bunk has odd design that makes you climb from the front and not from the side: a bit awkward if I dare to say.
Communal spaces were super comfy, the view out of the window was incredible, staff super nice, friendly as accommodating. The whole vibe was great. Fireplace, Cordero Patagonico and cuddly dogs enhanced the experience.
