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.).

Clean, comfortable and affordable - what more could you ask for? OK, it's not the most luxurious of stays but you're not being charged for a luxury stay. I enjoyed my stay here and would happily book again.

United KingdomWebsite offers breakfast and evening meal at time of booking but when we got there neither was available and there was no explanation from staff just it was not available. Very disappointing as the weather was bad and would have preferred not to wander about in the pouring rain trying to find somewhere else to eat.
Beds clean and comfortable. Reception area clean and bright.

United StatesOur room had a nasty smell that seemed to becoming from the toilet room, but we decided to keep that door shut and it helped. The day we checked in wifi was really terrible. We could get it sometimes down in the lobby and hardly at all in the room. They reset the wifi, but it really didn't help. The next morning there was not any wifi at all, not even in the lobby.
The location was great. It was a short walk to the hostel from the station. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the questions we had. The morning breakfast had a good selection for every type of breakfast needs. The rooms were a good size and the showers were definitely bigger than other Hostels.

ItalyIf I have to find something I did not like this would probably be the lack of common spaces where people can cook their own food. They had a breakfast (and also lunch I guess?) service we did not use, we would have liked to have the possibility to make our own food as well. But, again, everything was pretty lit.
I liked most of it. The location was very convenient, a nice walk to the new town, we rarely had to use public transportation. The staff was super nice and helpful, they also made amazing cappuccinos (: The room was big and well organised, pretty clean and comfortable. Overall a very good place where to spend the night after a day strolling around the city.

United KingdomWiFi was very poor but I can live without that for a night. The bed was very comfy but the pillows were not at all comfortable, very hard.
The location was perfect for our night at the Playhouse. Staff were very helpful. Room was very clean and warm. Even though we were on the main road, when we closed the window if was pretty quiet.

Staff were very helpful,answered all questions and we were able to leave our luggage in secure location and go sight seeing as we arrived early before check-in.Rooms were clean and beds made when we did get our rooms.Some hotels and accommodation weve stayed at didnt even have that for guests.
