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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe top bunk bed’s mattress has sunk in the middle and the pillow is soo high it makes it uncomfortable to sleep. No sockets near your bed (despite saying so on Booking). The kitchen needs serious refurbishment - no spoons, no bowls, pans and pots without handles, out of service oven and water takes agessss to boil. The touchscreen padlock on the main entrance is so funny to use - maybe it needs something different cause it makes it hard to use. At some point at night guests had to go downstairs to open the door at other guests….
Really good location - 5 min walk to the bus station and the town centre. Big supermarket nextdoor. Spacious living room to hang out and nice balcony to overlook the street and well as relax. Big size lockers to keep your belongings safe and good bathrooms (cleaned and fully working). Staff speaks good English and the owners are very sweet, especially the mum. Many Europeans around, really nice to hang out.

United KingdomSheets never stay on the mattress. I tried something different every single day without success. Get bigger or fitted sheets.
Location is excellent. Kitchen is good to have although people tend to stack dirty dishes in the sink meaning that nobody else can use the sink. Fridge, cooker, microwave, sandwich toaster. Clothes drying lines on 1st floor balcony but nothing on the ground floor. Not a problem. You get your laundry dried so that's great. Nice common areas on the ground and on the first floor..

ArgentinaThe staff was nice but they didn't know any info about Paraty, how to reach places, or what to do. They only "suggested" about the boat tour. The bathroom was super dirty (there is not even a mirror, or soap), I didn't see any cleaning in three days , the bin was full of paper and smelly (as in Brazil you can't throw paper in the toilet itself). I asked to the receptionist the second day to send someone to clean and she answered she can't check if the bathroom is dirty and she will talk to the manager(?). When I check out the bathroom was still dirty. The kitchen was a mess and it would be nice if they provide water. The hostel is nice , but they need to improve a lot! They were more worried if the dog is going out than something else.
I stayed in a room of 8 which is big and spacious. It's close to the center and bus station, coffee shops, etc. There is AC and fan :)

United KingdomThey wrote that they have air con. They absolutely do not. The had a sweltering room with windows left open and I was bitten so much. I moved to a smaller room with a musty fan. They cannot claim to have something like air-con when it’s a massive deal for people who get bitten and in a heatwave. Kitchen is beyond old and has a few rusty pots and one cup and filthy appliances and place needs maintenance badly.
The staff were nice. Ok location, a few minutes from town. One volunteer tried to say I can’t hang too many clothes when I planned to before checking in go to the laundrette and not let them dry. She told me to hand wash it bothered her, and I said no I need to do all my laundry and it dries in 3 hours max. The others were nice.

Very clean and comfortable (including bathrooms) - 14 bed dorm was spacious and had AC. Lockers provided. Living room with sofas and balcony with hammock. Good wifi and plug areas. Kitchen basic but functional. Absolutely no complaints - we had a lovely stay :)

SwedenThe AC was very noisy. The bathroom lacked a mirror, it was not very clean and the door (which did not have a handle on the inside) could not be locked. On the night I arrived it smelled like urine. The furniture in the common area was old and in bad shape. Overall not worth it, especially for R$130 per night.
The staff was very nice and thoughtful. I liked that the lockers were below the beds, which made for easy access.

United KingdomVery dirty, kitchen obviously hasn’t had a proper clean in a while. Saw multiple cockroaches. Bathrooms were also in a pretty sad state. The worst part was the beds through - we came back to pick up our bags after checking out earlier in the day to find our dirty bedsheets had not been stripped from our beds but had just been re-made. We’d had suspected the sheets weren’t very clean so this was so massive surprise…
Good location, building itself was fine

BrazilThe room and the bathroom didn't have a lock, the room lighting was pretty bad, all room was dark during the night. The wall pluges was terrible to charge phones or any devices and aso the mattress was moving all the time, not fixed at the bed. The worst thing that happened was I booked the tour ship and when I get there the owner of the hostel gave the preference to other people which weren't in the hostel and also haven't paid in advance, only booked!
The staff was very friendly and it had a pool table available.

Czech RepublicRoom for 10 people was easily accessible from street over windows (quite big security risk). Also the noise from street was really big!!! Bathrooms were not very clean when we arrived in the night, neither kitchen or shared relax room - there were very old spider webs everywhere. I saw cleaning the floors and bathrooms in the morning, but not properly. And unfortunately my girlfriend found cockroach on the wall next to her bed.
Location was good, friendly staff, cool balcony with hammocks, good internet connectivity, beds were comfortable and clean sheets.
