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.).

IrelandThere was no air conditioning and although there was a fan provided it was still very warm on the first few days of my stay in mid-June. I’d imagine it would be even hotter in later summer. My room was overlooking a very busy road which was very noisy all night and especially so with the window open to counteract the heat and stuffiness. Try to get a room not overlooking the road to avoid this if it is something that might bother you. The bar area is nice and my colleague had a burger and chips one evening which he said was very very good. However, the included breakfast was limited in its selection - croissants, bread rolls, some ham and cheese and plain yoghurt. There is some juice and a hot drink machine but overall disappointing, though it is included in the room rate. My room was ready and clean when I arrived, but I was visiting as part of a group and several others in the group arrived to find their rooms had not been cleaned from the previous occupant. This included two of my group who arrived at 11pm being told there were no clean rooms available and no housekeeping around to prepare a room for them, with generally unhelpful response to the situation. Another colleague had to wait several hours for his room and then when he was checked in he also discovered the room had actually not been cleaned from the previous occupant. Overall, the accommodation is nice, reasonably priced, well connected to Paris (if a little far out) and my own experience was good, but I am aware there were issues for other people staying there from my group.
Room was absolutely lovely, spotlessly clean with lots of space, electric blinds that kept out the light very well. Very modern design and comfortable bed. Lots of power outlets with USB sockets for charging also. Kitchenette was included with fridge, sink, microwave and hob. No kettle but a coffee machine with pods was provided. Although this is usually student accommodation during the year, it is like a hotel with its variety of facilities. There is a spacious and well equipped gym, large open space with bean bags and huge TV screen, table tennis, snooker table and pool table. There are lots of vending machines for snacks and hot drinks.

LithuaniaI was charged 2.72eur extra after my stay, and i have no idea why. it would be nice if they vacuumed the corridors at least once a week and swept under the bed once a month.
that is a very calm neighborhood. if you need this area south of Paris - great choice, especially considering Massy-Palaiseau station

Kenya1. The rate is a bit steep for bed only. Maybe breakfast should be offered to short-staying guests who may not be able to shop for supplies to cook for themselves and end up having to go out to a cafe. 2. The student rooms are a little squeezed...4 people in a room leaves little space for privacy.
1. The facility is very well maintained and designed. 2. There are lots of activities. 3. The location is easily accessible by train and bus, and it is a nice neighbourhood.

PolandSome minor problem that can be improved, is the presence of ants in the rooms. But I believe, that the main responsibility is the long-term quests, which sometimes leave food without cover.
The place is really nice. It offers great infrastructure if you are looking for some additional activities. One has to keep in mind, that due to a specific purpose, there are a lot of young people. Yet, during a few days of stay, no disturbing noises were present. The staff is very helpful and is trying to solve various issues without delay. The price/quality ratio is really good.

We stayed here one night as a stop en route. It was close to the highway so very easy to access. It wasn’t too expensive so it was an overall good experience.

FranceNot something about the property but the main train connection to Paris was under maintenance during our stay, so we had some difficulties using public transportation. If i knew this i wouldn't specifically prefer to stay in Massy so better make sure the RER B train is not out of service before booking
It's my second time staying here and I really like that the facilities are like a private dormitory. You have the whole studio to yourself and in the entrance floor there are great areas to socialize, study or have movie nights. The parking was 5 euro/night which is a great price considering the rest of Paris.

FranceThe view is not good because my room is facing other rooms, but the room has curtains so we still have some privacy. I wish there was more light in the room, at night the room isn't very well lit.
The facilities are fantastic. The room has everything I need, even a microwave and a small kitchen corner! It's close to the train station and there's a bus stop just 3 minutes of walk from the building. They also provide an electric fan so it doesn't feel too hot inside the room.
