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 KingdomOnly the staff can turn your room lights on and off which is odd and sometimes you want it dark and they’re on. I know the pool was closed, but then when I arrived, the receptionist tried to overcharge me and then was like, “money doesn’t matter, you’re on holiday.” It’s not nice to feel cheated when you’ve just arrived somewhere especially when you’re already paying a little extra. The bathroom flooded. Social aspect was lacking. They had a bar crawl that promised drinking games. We all waited around bored and no games occurred.
Nice rooftop to sunbathe on, I had the balcony in my 8 person room that’s pictured here too. You could make the room dark with the curtains. I liked my bed and the lockers were a good size - you don’t need a padlock - your card opens and locks it. Love that. The staff tried their best to help me when my shampoo and conditioner went missing (definitely stolen). Other than the one male receptionist, the rest of the staff were warm and friendly. The reception itself is nice. Hotel quality.

BrazilShowers and toilets need to be better cleaned and also in higher frequency. For the price they charge, quite odd you have to pay extra for towels and toiletries. Let’s be honest. Also, they shut off air conditioning during the day making it impossible to relax.
Location and the team. The team are very welcoming, they organize good partires and the open bar pre party is quite fun.

SerbiaHowever, I think it's inconvenient if you take a six-bed room because it's still too many people for one bathroom and, especially in the morning, it's very crowded and noisy precisely because of that. I think a four-bed room is still a better option. The breakfast is average, maybe it would be good if there was a bigger selection of food, but it's not bad either.
The hostel is interesting and in a good location (Casa Batlio and Casa Mila are just a few minutes away, Sagrada Familia is a 30-minute walk away, it takes the same amount of time to get to the center, the Gothic quarter, and it takes about 45 minutes to walk to the sea). The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and a big plus is that the lockers are automatically locked with a card (you don't need to carry your own padlock).

TurkeyThe hostel organizes daily drink events outside. But yesterday, even though I mentioned that I should take my umbrella, by the time I went to the ground floor again, they had already left. Also, although I went to the Ottozuts nightclub as previously indicated, there was nobody from the hostel there. They changed the plans at the last minute and never shared this last-minute change on the WhatsApp page. When I asked where they were, they didn’t respond or share the current location with me. I was very angry about it. An organization shouldn't be so disorganized.
The workers of the hostel showed maximum effort in helping me whenever I needed it. Making new friends made me feel pleased. Thanks for providing a nice environment for me.
