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.).

United StatesMattresses were hard and kind of uncomfortable. It didn’t bother my kids or husband, who slept great, but I found it a little hard to sleep well.
Great value. Family room was perfect for our family, with plenty of space. Kitchen facilities were a bonus and allowed us to pack and prepare our own breakfast easily.

ThailandBeing a youth hostel, we were aware of the constraints and standards. However, at check-in, the staff gave us the wrong room key, causing some hassle with our luggage as we moved up and down to settle into the correct room. We had booked a private room for four, but were surprised to find other people already there. This raised concerns about safety and security when staff gave us the wrong key card and assigned the wrong room number.
We appreciated the free parking and found the property to be great value for money.

United KingdomHa! My only criticism was it wasn't available for our return stop-over night in Inverness at the end of our journey.
The Youth Hostel is a hidden gem of UK travel. The staff are amazing and were so very helpful when our train was so delayed and gave me confidence that we'd still be able to access our accommodation despite the late hour of arrival. The site is very peaceful, and our private room (with room for 6!) was spacious with a large shower room and fluffy towels. The YH beds are always comfortable, which a very snuggly duvet and pillows. The curtains kept the room dark overnight. As ever, the YH was quiet overnight, and we all slept well. We had a "Wee Breakfast" which is enough to set yourself up for the day and had GF and DF options. There's also a well equipped kitchen if you have brought your own food. The public areas are maintained to a high standard and there's a storage area if you want to leave your luggage whilst you explore the area.
