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.).

IsraelYou can argue that the place is a bit old/outdated in style, I liked it, felt nostalgic. Beds could be a little better. Not serious. Got a full night's sleep
In a quiet part of Interlaken, which is a must see town, nothing less. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, huge dog will welcome you in the lobby. Big Lidl down the road. Balcony with an astonishing view of the mountains

SingaporeQuite a far walk from the train station (but there are some buses that can shorten your travel)
- Staff was very helpful. - There's a common space on the first floor (reception level) with sitting area and games. But we didn't have time to check it out much. - Room was pretty spacious for a family of 4 with our own bathroom. Bed was done up nicely too.

FinlandThe toilet was the main issue, it was loose and rocking, almost impossible to use. The room had no locker, the bed frame was not the strongest and not much comfortable. I would recommend it for short stay, have no idea about staying more than 1 or 2 nights.
It's a beautiful building with a wonderful scenery in a walking distance from the railway station. Staff were available and easy to check-in. The room was cleaned well, and the quality of the internet connection was acceptable.

Belgium1) lack of bedside sockets to charge phone 2) absence of fridge to put food 3) absence of simple cooking facility to cook your own food 4) staff weren't that friendly (I am Asian and I have been to a lot of Asian hostels/hotels so I have a subjective standard of friendliness)
I really really love their friendly dog, Kai. Honestly made the stay super happy. It is also very near a bus station which can get you to Interlaken Ost. It is also an easy 15-20 minute walk from Interlaken West train station. The hotel gives an overall old rich classy vibe.

Hong KongThe charging hole is a bit old and loose. Better to get a new one.
View: The scenery of the double room is incredibly stunning!! I enjoyed spending time on the balcony and watching the sunset, mountains and the snow-capped mountains. It gave me a most soothing and enjoyable atmosphere during my time in Switzerland. I had thought Interlaken would be a boring city and thought this hostel was a bit far from Interlaken Ost/West Station (for us, a 15-minute walk is acceptable. And it was a wonderful time, especially in Interlaken. We were chatting while enjoying and taking pictures of the scenery!) However, the traffic was beyond my expectations. It is convenient to get to Interlaken Station. ps. You'll get a free bus travel card whilst you arrive at the hostel. Staff: The receptionist is friendly :) Room: I would say it was definitely better than I expected from the pictures I saw on booking.com. It is worth the price.
