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.).

Vietnam- as many have said, it’s a little walk away from the station. But if it’s summer and weather is nice, it’s a nice walk on the lakefront
+ a very modern hostel with really nice kitchen and lounge areas + plenty of bathrooms, showers and sinks to share - they were always clean. + staff so helpful at planning my day around Lucerne. + 2 dorm room was amazing. Each bed had a plug socket and light. They had 2 plug sockets (1x EU and 1x Swiss) and even had a USB-A and USB-C port!

AustraliaThe “clean up after yourself” rule in the kitchens didn’t seem to be followed very well - it’s not the hostel’s fault but I feel like it maybe needed to be more strict. Hot rooms Seems to be too many large group bookings
Communal areas seemed good. The rooms had standard European power outlets, the Swiss/Italian recessed hexagonal ones, and usb / usb C

SingaporeWalking and taking the bus takes around the same time. It was ok to walk because I went during late spring/early summer, but I think it could be uncomfortable to access during the peak of summer.
The location was near enough to the train station to walk. The kitchen and pantry was very beautiful and comprehensive, you could use the microwave for your COOP foods and I have seen people cook a full meal with the stove too. Receptionist was really friendly. There were many toilets and showers that were impeccably clean.

Wonderful peaceful leafy location lakeside, next to a local college. The building shares some dorm rooms on other floors. Walk in along the lake, or take the bus from the adjacent main road. You are given a visitors card by the hostel valid for all local transport, so it is effortless to hop on a bus 6/7/8 to the station from the adjacent rd into town 6-8 mins. They run every 5-10 mins Supermarket Migros, gorgeous bakery and couple restos are close. In town, you can walk everywhere or use the free card. Swiss Pass worked for the boats out to Rigi Rooms are big Shared facilities, but plenty and never any conflict: 5 rooms shared 2 showers, 2.5 toilets and 4 sinks Totally spotless facility, and new showers COmmon areas: 2 kitchen areas, seating and dining areas. Great system for labeling food. Share leftovers even! Friendly guests and very quiet Loved it overall, would stay a week and explore the region Alot of money saved vs eating in restaurants in town.

ChinaThe location is great. Though around 15 minutes walk to the train station, it’s really close to the lake. And nearby is very quiet. The both staffs I met are very friendly and nice. When I checked-in, a girl behind me was cutting into the conversation and getting into the reception area, the staff reminded her to watch her behavior. That’s really nice of him. And the facilities are fully prepared. You could get everything you need there. Hope I could come back soon and stay longer next time.
