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.).

My bedroom is good and happy with the bed it is quite comfty. i am happy with the location as it is not far from the city centre and the beach. Good location for shopping, the bonus that they actually opened the kitchen for self-service which is very good,

United KingdomOur room directly faced the nightclub outside, with the smoking area and queue right outside the window. Obviously not much to be done about this but my suggestion would be take ear plugs!! Only other downside was that as checkout was stated as 10am I paid for late checkout but turns out on Sunday checkout is 11am so we didn't need to use it.
For the money the hotel was incredible value. Great location, luggage storage while we waited, suprisingly comfy bed. The room was really large and the bathroom and bedroom both absolutely spotless we were impressed.

MexicoThe building is old. The door lock didn’t work in my room, either the air conditioner. There was also a lot of noise at night (people partying and screaming from the street). The hostel also lacked activities to meet new people.
The location was the best, it is a few steps away from the beach and the pier and you can catch a bus very easily. The bed was very comfy and everything was clean. The staff was super nice! I would definitely stay here again:)

TurkeyThe windows are old and the noise from people outside the clubs is annoying late at night. They also give your bed sheets at reception when checking in and you need to put them onto your bed which is awkward and not nice for the guests. The breakfast is overly expensive at 11GBP
The staff was very friendly, Near the bus from Gatwick.

United KingdomIt was a bit noisy at night. We could hear kids chatting till the early hours and whoever was in the room above was moving about a lot and we could hear the floor boards creaking. That said we would stay here again.
The staff are super friendly and the property is in a good position for a stay in Brighton. The room was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThe hostel was value for money. It was in a really convenient location to the bars, beachfront and the Lanes. Room was basic but it met what we needed; we were there for a one night stay as we were in Brighton to enjoy the night life and shopping. The room was very warm and did let in noise from the hallway. Overall, a wonderful one night stay. Very cheap and cheerful accommodation. Late check out was available at 12 noon -also very affordable; always check with the reception staff.
