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.).

NetherlandsThe hotel is located on the main road, so take into account quite a bit of street noise. There was some water leaking in the bathroom.
Friendly staff, possibility of using the kitchen, big rooftop terrace, clean and spacious room, very good breakfast, very centrally located (400m from the bus station).

AC in private room was good. Was a lot of space in the room and hot water in the shower. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was located on main road so close to shops, bars and the bus stop. Breakfast included on rooftop was good.

Bosnia and Herzegovina-
Arrived late, left early in the morning so my impression was pretty good (comfortable dorm with big lockers, OK shower, good breakfast, nice staff) but felt it to be a little overpriced for longer stays since the kitchen was super basic and no additional amenities were offered.

SwitzerlandWe had to wait until 4 pm to get the bath towels as they were all in the laundry. Not too big a deal but somehow strange. Restaurant was not open at 5 pm but there are plenty other places near by. The door lock was somehow tricky to lock.
Clean place, working AC, comfy beds and helpful staff. Right at the mainstreet so a bit noisy at breakfast. Good for a stop over in Jacó.

FranceThe sound isolation is not very good, at least for the rooms near the common kitchen area. If you are unlucky to have noisy neighbors like we did, it can be difficult to sleep.
The hotel is well located, the room had everything we needed and the staff was helpful and reactive. Breakfast was very good and it is served in the rooftop area that has a nice view.

GermanyBathroom could've been a bit cleaner and nicer.
Excellent value for money for a good hostel in Jaco. Located on the main street but at one end of it you are at restaurants and shops within minutes, but it's also relatively quiet at night. Rooms are relatively clean, breakfast was good, the common area is a nice space to just sit and relax or work. All of that for the price is very good!

United KingdomStayed in a room facing towards the Main Street and it was loud. I checked the windows and one didn’t fully close which made it louder. I thought it would be alright as it was Sunday and people would stay out but it went on all night. Also there was a bright light shining through the curtains ALL night which wasn’t ideal.
Staff was great and good value for money

UkraineBeds were very uncomfortable. Also there was no hot water although a big sign on the bathroom door explaining how to use the shower and saying if you don’t use it correctly you’ll break it it will be your fault, which I thought was rude. But even then, opening the shower slowly as they advised still didn’t result in any hot water.
It’s the cheapest place in town so you get what you pay for. It’s outdated but it’s clean. The breakfast was good and the personnel was polite.
