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.).

AustraliaThe kitchen wasn’t the cleanest hostel kitchen I’ve had, but it was still fine - it’s not the hostel’s fault
Gorgeous location obviously. It was the first hostel I’ve been to in ages that had a sense of community. The room was comfy. The owner is great and the owner’s dog is lovely.

AustraliaNothing. This is the hostel that others should strive to be like.
Everything! The location was amazing, the facilities were amazing, the staff were amazing. Never had a hostel with a trampoline out the back that you can jump on while viewing waterfalls. Johnny, one of the team, is one of the most helpful receptionists I’ve seen to date. You’ll never find a better hostel shower than the ones here. If you’re going to Switzerland and staying at a hostel, this is the one you choose!

United StatesI booked this place on a whim to explore the Bernese Oberland area, and it exceeded my expectations. The place has such a cool vibe!! Johnny is so kind, the best. There is a wonderful dog. It’s also super cool to peek at the base jumpers sorting their things. I was a bit hesitant about the showers in the basement, but they were well-lit, clean, and added to the cool industrial aesthetic. The location itself in Lauter is beautiful, I think I discovered a love for hiking I didn’t know existed, and since everything was so close I could sleep in a bit and still do a hike every day. This was exactly what I needed on my little career break :) I will choose this place when I want to explore the Jungfrau region again.

IndiaSince it's a hostel and has a common kitchen open to everyone for use, not all guests are equally mindful about cleaning the utensils and dishes properly.
The location of the stay was beautiful with the staubbach falls right behind the hostel. The view from the room was quite good. It had all facilities like a common kitchen, laundry (on payment) etc. They have bicycles available which you can use to go around the beautiful country side road along the stream just behind the hostel.

United StatesIt's a bit of a hike from the train station and the main town (restaurants etc) but worth it. There is a bus stop very close that you can take from the station and goes through town. Not all rooms have a view of the falls so you may want to request that.
The staff was very friendly, helpful and laid back. Great environment. The location was stunning along the river with a clear view of the main waterfall. New showers were great too!

United StatesI was going to bed early because I was hiking all day. Often guests would be talking until late at night. Often talking past the 10pm lights out.
Staff was very helpful. They gave me hiking advise and helped me with questions about the area. It was perfect for the budget minded traveler that don't need a lot of fancy amenities.
