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.).

GermanyNo real AC, just a heater, Bed area was more a hostel, the bathroom part and entrance a proper hotel.
Really nice and easy room with a window to the inner yard with outside curtains. Because of the hostel a public kitchen was included and a coworking space with a cafe/restaurant. Really nice bathroom and entrance area

AustraliaWe didn’t have air conditioning and so it was a little warm over night-but we understand that it wasn’t part of our payment so we understand-we were appreciative of the small fan that was provided-thank you.
The friendliness of the staff and helpfulness. The facilities and cleanliness of the room. The welcoming nature of the staff when we arrived. Fantastic communication in the lead up to our stay.

FranceBy default Booking does assume that you're going to be 2 travelers, so if you don't enter the very precise details of the second person (like ID or passport or driving license number), you cannot complete your own check-in, via the form sent on WhatsApp. I had to re-do everything when arriving at the hostel, so it's a pity for a process that is supposed to save you some time.
Perfectly located at 2mn walking distance from Basel SBB train station. The area with private rooms is really nice. You will even forget you're in a hostel. Large bed, fine building materials, spacious bathroom. I really liked it so I'll for sure come back.

NetherlandsJust a tiny misunderstanding in room description: on booking.com. it was mentioned "a bathrobe and slippers", which were not in the room.
Location is perfect, near the station, big supermarket and tram stop. We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment, which is brand new, very big, cosy and equipped with everything you need. Comfy beds, quiet area, nice balcony where you can enjoy a cup of coffee. Very convenient that guests can leave their luggage before check-in/after check-out. Breakfast selection is not over the top, but more than enough. Good coffee! We will definitely come back again 😊
