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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomNot sure it's something I didn't like but there wasn't anybody about staff wise you are literally renting a room from an old lady. Did kinda make me feel like I was staying at my grandma's house but I was barely there. And it was a cheap single room.
The location was great, the bed was comfortable everything you need for a short city stay

United StatesThe owner was very sweet but didn't know any English at all so I had a really hard time checking in since I also don't know Spanish. Some people might not like the noise, but I had no problem with it & loved the location overall.
The location was great, everything was very minimal but pretty much exactly what I expected. I didn't spend much time in the room, but seemed to be clean, area was safe & I slept well.

AustriaI will invite them to pay attention to the bathroom. The premises in general are old as well the bathroom. The head shower is broken and the bidet is cover with lime. For the price, these details should be taken care of.
The staff and owner were very attentive and friendly. As well, the location was perfect for my personal needs.

ChileThe place has a huge potential that I recommend the owner to consider: - improve wifi signal - modernize the rooms (color, light, furniture, usb connection) - put movement sensors for the light rather than the old sistem - seal any cracks where cockroaches may enter the room
The location was great. Because of my flight I arrived around 11pm and the owner was kind enough to wait for me even when check in was until 10pm; furthermore, she also kept my room reserved although my credit card payment didn’t work (I pay in cash).

JapanThe bathroom door is better to be left open when no one is using. (Especially as I had a stomach problem, necessity to unlock the bathroom door from outside by bringing the specialized key was a bit hard...)
The owner is very kind. I booked the shared bathroom type room during my stay, but she let me stay in a larger room with a bathroom on the day when it was vacant and she said extra payment was not necessary. On the last day I was sick in stomach and asked the owner if I could extend the stay 2 to 3 hours after the check-out time to take rest a bit more, then she told me I could stay as long as I liked even till next day, because no booking was made on that day in the room. Fortunately I became better 2.5 hours later and when leaving the accommodation, she did not charge the extra time fee. I really appreciate her, Rosa!

NorwayThe hotel manager did not speak any English and was not accomodating when I tried using an app to translate. I speak some Spanish but she did not want to hear. She lives in the same building/ floor, and once when I wanted to ask for a new towel after 4 days, I called the buzzer and she said Mierda, which is a profanity word in Spanish, annoyed that I disturbed her watching tv. I unfortunately forgot my keys in the joint bathroom, called three times and sent a text, did not receive a answer or call back. I Called booking.com who spoke to the lady and she said she wanted to take a nap and that I should hurry up. When I got back the first thing she did in a mean demeanor was that I made a big problem for her since she was supøaed to be with her family that day but couldn't go out since she saw the keys was left behind. If sje indeed had an appointment why did she not call me to let me know my keys were at the hotel, and then for me to come back. I can only imagine what would happened if I left tje keys there by mistake in the evening time. As an hotel manager one should be available to the customers regardless. I would never go back because of how the manager greeted and communicates with me. The shower head is also broken, and easy to fix. Noise street and very loud doors.
Cleaning every day.

AustraliaThere were actually no other facilities. We wanted, and did get, a private bathroom but got none of the things any other accommodation would normally have - especially as the price was not cheap. - no coffee facilities - towels not changed (we stayed 3 nights) - bathroom door was not fitted properly and no handle on the door so often got jammed and my wife couldn't reach up to open door from top - the wall holder for shower rose was broken so had to hold hose while showering and hence water would go everywhere (the shower only had a fabric curtain) - the bathroom would get so wet and nothing could be done to dry floors - no water bottles provided - no fridge - an email we got a few days before arrival advised that no alcohol could be consumed in premises - that's fine let us know up front. (A glass of wine after a day out would have been nice). - hair dryer was not in room (when I asked for it on second day I unfortunately disturbed the land lady who was unfortunately unwell). - we didn't think the price we were paying would get us so little. - no secure safe (no safe at all).
The location was good, there was a private bathroom and there was internet. But that is all. Land lady was sweet to us on arrival.
