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.).

Czech RepublicIf you’re looking for a quiet stay, that’s not it. It was full of running around kids, youngsters, there was some coffee making event (which I won’t complaint about, cause I loved it). The room didn’t have any wardrobe. The bathroom had a sliding door which barely gave any sound insulation.
Close to the city center. The staff allowed us to keep bags and backpacks until the check in that was at 15 (I wish it was earlier). Breakfast was good.

NetherlandsThe bathrooms were full of black mold. It feels like they don't even try to clean those properly. The little shelf near the bed was not clean at all - someone had spilled some sticky stuff on there and the cleaners hadn't cleaned it before my arrival. And if I have to pay more than €35 per night, I would expect the cleaners to be a little more thorough than they were. We also weren't allowed to leave our bags on the day of check-out (the same day as the 2nd Taylor Swift concert), because "the storage room is reserved for paying costumers who sleep here". As if I hadn't payed for my stay in the days prior.
The hostel organised some fun things for the Taylor Swift concert (which was the reason I was in Lyon), so that was a lot of fun! The female dorm was nice to stay in, very spacious. And the location is nice: close to some grocery stores and to some nice bakeries and a tearoom.

CanadaMy stay started off very rocky, but the exceptional customer service from the staff saved it: I was in a 10-bed female dorm from friday to monday, friday night was okay noise-wise even though the guests were not very careful. But then Saturday came and all hell broke loose: nightclub in front of my window was blasting music until 4 am, and people were screaming until 5:30 in the street. There was a massive group of teenagers (I would say over 60 of them) that checked in on Saturday and they were loud as hell in the corridors, even playing loud music in the shared bathroom, and seemingly filming tiktoks until 3 am. Plus, the guests in my room were opening lights and banging their stuff around all night. So the next morning, having slept 2 hours total, I went to the front desk to ask to be changed rooms, even willing to pay for a private room. They were super accommodating and put me in an empty dorm, since the group of teenagers had left, there was space. I really appreciated being able to catch up on sleep then, and also that dorm smelled super clean (the first one didn't... smelled like feet). Overall I would come again but in a private room, and request a room away from the street where the nightclub is. I also have to say that the rooms could have been a little cleaner, especially the shelf next to our bed, the two I had were quite dusty.
Great coffee in the cafe downstairs, nice common area to hang out and have a beer, spacious and well-lit dorms. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

PortugalBed was very uncomfortable, shower space was really small, no place to hang things and the short curtain let the bathroom floor wet. Not hot water in the sink. The whole place was pretty noisy, specially in the mornings, but understandable being a hostel.
Great location! Room was big enough for 2 people. Bathroom was spacious. Reading lights over the bed were a great detail.
