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.).

GermanyThe bathrooms weren’t always as clean as they could (but it’s the other guests fault) and some the staff seemed to be annoyed by the guests…
The rooms were clean and had enough space for everyone’s bags. The accommodation has a bus stop near by and also does car rentals. A few shops, a bar and the rock kangaroos are in walking distance. The owner is super nice and gives you a map and all the information you need for different activities and places in the island. If you want you can include breakfast in your stay.

United KingdomOne staff member friendly. Another miserable. Young short term traveller staff used here so hit and miss. A tent room is not private enough and use cheap beds. The other room the parents used was nice and roomy and perfectly good. You need to either hire a car which is possible from them but they are all very old and close to MOT failure I imagine, or get a local bus.
Location near the beach/out of main area.

FranceI booked a bed in a 2-bed and a 4-bed dormitory, both with AC and fan The dormitory is wide and large enough, so you do not feel packed at all. The bed is a single bed, large enough, with a fair enough good mattress. Towel is provided. For each of these dorms (and the entire hostel), you have access to many sanitory facilities (1 full bathroom (shower, toilet, sink), 1 shower + sink, 1 shower, 1 toilet + sink, 1 toilet). All were clean. You also have access to a fully equipped kitchen, open from 7am to 10pm. Breakfast available for 10aud (cereals, toasts, fruit, yoghurt, juice) The common spaces are very nice. The WiFi is good. Located in the heart of Nelly Bay. 50m away from the main beach. 1.3km away from the ferry terminal / supermarket. The owner (Ian) is very chilled and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for a short or a long stay.
