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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

GermanyThe rooms are not equipped with climate control. The only way to manage the room temperature is by opening or closing the windows. We were traveling in late May, and when we first entered the room, it was relatively hot since the windows were closed.
Inselhostel has a super central location. The premises are clean and well-maintained. The kitchen and dining area have everything you need and are very cozy. Check-in is easy and straightforward. If you're traveling with bikes, there's a bike shelter right across the street.

GermanyIf I'm hunting for fault it would be the lack of locker facilities, such as cages under the bottom bunk, but the clientele present meant I never really had any concerns about my property.
The staff were super friendly & helpful, I wouldn't hesitate to stop again.

Singaporethe vibe was a little rustic and there seem to possibly be some long term stayers – nothing wrong with that, just that this may make some tourists uncomfortable so take note. also take note that the receptionist didn't seem to be around all the time, I'm not sure what time they are stationed at the reception. if you are particular, do note that there are many insects in the room, probably because it's located on an island near the lake.
it was very close to lindau insel train station hence very convenient.

Toilets and showers on the other floor 🥲 No understanding about the bed, but I guessed any free can be mine. Unfortunately administrator doesn't answer on this question to me.

RomaniaThe people working there are exceptionally nice and kind. It's really too bad the reception hours are so short
Everything is spacey and the location is really great. There is a fully equipped kitchen where you can cook just like home. I stayed in a private double, it was big and comfortable. The hostel is eco friendly with light and water. Self check in after reception hours is pretty comprehensible. Staff was very friendly. There is laundry for a small fee.

Australiathe response of the hotel was poor usually 24 hours late....send a message about where to park bicycles on the morning of the day we were to check in, and the response came the middle of the next day after we had checked in.....this was not the only time this happened......it seemed that the staff only worked between certain hours and that they only looked at email when they worked....this was pretty poor.
clean tidy and good facilities..

United KingdomWasnt quite what we were expecting, didn't see a sole. Instructions to get in a bit confusing though between my husband and I we figured it out. (Self checkin) Reception on 1st floor. Loos and showers on 2nd floor. Glad our room was on the 2nd floor. As dont think there were any on the first.
Location right near station was very good though instructions for self checking a bit confusing. . We didn't stay very long as got there late and left early next morning for early train.

United KingdomThe location has its drawbacks for the rooms facing the road as the street noise is quite relentless and it continues well into the night. As there's no aircon windows need to be kept open in the summer. Note that small kids have to be kept away from open windows as they are quite low and there's no barrier outside. Another thing is the showers - they are operated by movement sensors which can be quite annoying at times as they either go off unexpectedly or you have to move your hand against one every second, depending which cubicle you're using. Push button showers would have been far more user friendly. I felt that there wasn't enough male toilets. It would be good if there was a place in the kitchen and a shelf in one of the fridges for unwanted food so that other guests could make use of it, especially on a Sunday when all shops are closed.
Brilliant helpful staff, well equipped kitchen with senseo coffee machine (pads included), a great choice of teabags, sugar, salt etc. Right opposite the rail station and the bus stop, not even two minutes walk to the harbour. There's even a washing machine (you will need €3.50 to use it) and a tumble dryer.

UkraineThe beds aren't numbered and booked, so you just have to pick a random free one, which can cause inconveniences if you arrive at night. If the windows are open, you can hear loud train noises from the station nearby.
The hotel is right on the island, so it is very close to the boats. The beach is also a few minutes away. There is a shared kitchen for guests and the check-in process can be done by yourself at any time.
