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.).

RomaniaThe biggest drawback was the sewage smell in the room, the furniture is damaged, it would be ok if the shower, which is rusty, was changed. The location is ok, the staff is kind and helped us. Breakfast is served 2 minutes from the location at a bakery where pastries are served. Overall it was ok, but the quality-price ratio is not really worth it in my opinion.

United StatesThe only thing that was sub par about this place was that the bed. I need a softer bed because at my age I have aches and pains in my bones. The room could have had a table or desk in it but it had a little work space with chairs which was alright.
The location suited my needs. The facility was clean and had everything I needed for my type of traveling.

IrelandThe only window in the room overlooked a tiny space enclosed by the buildings around it, so barely any sunlight could reach the room. It was hard to wake up properly in the mornings as it felt like it was still night. We had to use the big light in the room even during the day. Also, the air conditioning was available, but very difficult to use and sometimes wouldn’t work at all.
The location of the hostel was great, a walking distance from almost all the main attractions. The room was clean and had all the necessities like the hairdryer, shower gel, etc. Although the walls were pretty thin, the hostel wasn’t too busy so the noise wasn’t a big issue for us.

Portugal-
I enjoyed the fact that the listing was in a good location. 8-10min walk from metro station. When we arrived there was a gutter smell, the window was open. It seems like this smell was in the area and not just the room. Either way we closed the bathroom door and kept the window open and eventually the smell dissipated. The host was ver helpful and answered to my questions whenever needed. We also left our bags at the reception on our last day so that we didn't have to carry them around all day, this was after the check-out so it was very nice that the host provided this service to us without any extra cost. The place was apparently clean, the bathrooms needs a little maintenance but nothing special. The listing shows as soundproof however we could easily hear the next room noises (people talking loud, going to the bathroom, etc.) Overall it was a good experience and the price was way lower than any other place in the same area. Loved the staff.

SpainDespite messaging the property twice with our arrival time, no one was in the building. They remotely buzzed us in, and the same with reception. The young lady showed up about 10 minutes later to give us the keys, and she was very nice. The bed sagged in the middle, so we tended to end up clumped together. The site says there is coffee available onsite, and I did see a Nespresso machine, but no capsules to actually make coffee. I believe there needs to be better communication between management and the people who work there.
Location is excellent. Very close to Plaça Catalunya. Room was very good size with a balcony. Bathroom and shower excellent.
