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.).

PolandAlmost no furniture in the room. There were 2 beds - that's it. Some chair, maybe armchair, night stand, maybe small desk would make it much more comfortable. Bear in mind that when I visited they just freshly opened so this might have improved by the time you are reading it.
Exceptionally nice staff, always smiling and making sure I have all I need. Free access to the kitchen with no-limit coffee and tee. The building is nice - look up when walking on the stairs, the "window" in the ceiling is remarkable.

ItalyI don’t have any complaints… This is for the hosts, the bathroom door in our room was “rough”, you had to push it to open it both from the inside and outside. Despite this, everything was ok and the room was clean.
Pretty much everything was fine

NetherlandsIt’d be nice to have a few more plugs for the amount of people in the room, especially near the top beds. Furthermore, it’d be nice to have access to a kettle to make coffee or tea or a fridge to store some drinks.
The staff was very friendly. I had booked this hostel as my old booking got cancelled on the day itself and the staff immediately made sure everything was in order for my arrival. The clerks at the desk were always ready to help out.

United KingdomThe key cards were failing which resulted in multiple resets, people from the not being able to enter and banging/making noise in the middle of the night to be noticed and let in. Also the descriptions were not accurate - I booked a bed in a room accommodating three people in total where in fact we were 8-9 girls in bunk bedsz
The location was fantastic and the team put a lot of effort into looking after me and other guests where the key cards/codes were not working properly.

GermanyIt was fairly recently open and saved us after our first hotel cancelled on us. And we couldn’t have more luck. The location is really great and you definitely get “bang for your buck” The rooms were clean though a little sparse (might recommend some bed night stands or lockers) But highlight was the staff; everyone was very kind and attentive!
