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.).

United KingdomI loved almost everything except that the shower cubicle in the additional bath had some water-clogging - but I am sure it was just a temporary problem.
The location is excellent, on a cobbled street just at the foot of the castle hill and opposite to the bergbahnen station. At the same time it is close to the city centre, restaurants and pubs, the University and the riverside. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The building itself is a remodelled home, with a cozy sitting and kitchen area. Kitchen was well-equipped with several food items. The bathrooms and toilets were clean with sufficient space. There was an additional bath-toilet besides the communal one - all well decorated with appliances. The bunk-bed room has enough open space, place to store small amount of stuff at the bedside, a cloth hanger, table and chairs, large windows. Though close to main areas there wasn't too much noise. I loved the cheeky stickers, old postcards and fun sayings on the bath and kitchen doors/walls - speaks volumes about the cultural and witty personalities of the owners. Don't forget to read Madam Lotte's story once you are there!

The hostel is located right across the train station that takes you to the castle. We had the private rooms and the rooms were large. There are two kitchens for you to use (tip: you have an amazing view of the castle from the top floor kitchen). Everything is in walking distance and if you arrive by car, there are public parking garages nearby. The kids enjoyed their stay and the cornflakes for breakfast. Coffee was good as well! Carmen was nice and very helpful. We forgot some stuff at the hostel and they kept it until we passed by Heidelberg again on our trip. Thanks again. We definitely would stay here again.

Germanypersonal preferences: noise, one bathroom and concept (shared room/ nothing with backpakers)
I think the location is great, but since my room faced the street, there was, of course, some noise from outside(friday night). There was a separate bathroom and toilet for women, but it was single occupancy, so you might have to wait sometimes. If you want to use a towel, you need to rent one. I can totally understand for this price I mean you can rent a towel its not a big deal just to know. The kitchen is well-equipped, so you can cook your own meals if you like. The staff are very helpful and friendly. This was my first time staying in a shared dormitory, and I don't think it's suitable for me, but this has nothing to do with the facility itself :) It's entirely a matter of personal comfort and preference. Considering the price and the amenities offered, I think the place is excellent.

IndiaThe toilets should have a hook or place to hang your clothes
The place is very close to the Rathaus Bergbahn bus stop in old town. Main street is about 300 m away and easy to walk up to. Easy to find restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy on the main street. The staff are really helpful and make sure to tell you how to go about everything. The room (I stayed in the 6 bed mixed dorm) was clean and spacious. I travelled with a big bag and there was enough space to leave my bag on the floor near the bed and take things from it. There was a table to study or work in the room and a table fan if you felt hot. Everyone was given a key and it was easy to get in or out. The common bathroom has 2 wash basins, 3 showers and 2 toilets which are all kept clean. The kitchen has almost everything one can think of like kettle, stove, utensils, coffee machine, refrigerator, etc. There was also free milk (regular and vegan) and breakfast cereal. I was able to access the washing machine as well for a small fee.
