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 KingdomNo proper TV aerial (surely they can invest in a communalTV aerial!) Shower doesn't work well. Kettle cable too short.
Good location and price - it's a budget place so accept the facilities are as they are to a degree obviously reflected in price. Clean. Reasonably sized room. Comfortable bed. Communication of touch pad and key system which is fine.

United KingdomThere was absolutely no toilet paper in any of the bathrooms from 11pm until checkout the next morning. That is absolutely wild behaviour for a Friday night / Saturday morning. Also the walls are so thin you can hear people as though they’re in the same room as you (literally everything so be mindful and aware). Also hardly any plugs? Had to unplug the telly and wifi so we could charge our phones.
The bed was comfortable the location is incredible. Cheapest option last minute to stay in the centre of Brighton.

GuernseyOld Victorian windows meant there was zero noise reduction from the road. The shared bathroom facilities weren't very clean and were two floors (four flights of stairs and two fire doors) away from our room. There were no communal spaces for a hostel, so no chance to mingle with other guests. There were no staff present and the telephone number is an answer phone. An additional £50 deposit had to be paid - which equates to an additional 33% of the cost.
The location is very central. The room was large, the bed was comfortable, there was a sofa in the room. Ultimately you get what you pay for. Easy self check-in.

United KingdomVery noisy as it close to a busy main road. The glass was only single glazed. They should invest in triple glazing. I did not get a good night's rest.
The location is ideal. Close to all city centre attractions and 10 mins walk to the beachfront.

SwitzerlandWhat I really found a pity is that the communal rooms where all gone. So the atmosphere that Kipps used to have are gone. Definitely not a Backpackers anymore as it used to be. A little detail. The cable for the kettle was to short. So we had to put it on the floor to use it.
It’s the third time I have been to Kipps. It’s obvious that the ownership has changed. The rooms are pretty much the same as it was.

FinlandThe building feels like it's going to collapse, it certainly needs renovation. It's quite loud due to the location in the central, but that shouldn't come as a surprise.
I liked the anonymous check-in and check-out. The location is great. The room was clean and had everything you need except a bathroom.

United KingdomThe building itself did not look very inviting from the outside, we panicked when we saw it! It definitely needs some TLC and that continues inside. The corridors etc could all do with updating and refreshing, all looks quite run down.
Booked as a last minute trip with a friend, have walked past this place loads! Very affordable and the bed was super comfy. Check-in was an email with codes to get in and our room number. Room was fine, bathroom despite being shared was clean. Great for the night! Really good location, close to the town centre and easy to find

United KingdomI did not like the strong smell of chemical as I walked into the room for the first time. I also did not like that we had to share a toilet located in another room. However, that is not a complaint. The bed sheets are coming off the bed many times and exposing the mattress. Walls are paper thin heard others conversations in the night.
I liked the service and room for the price. Also, quick communication with the managers. The location is excellent. Clean and tidy.

United KingdomIt was very noisy. Creaking floors and we were kept away by a family upstairs. They were very loud entering and leaving their rooms and seemed to have a small very fast but heavy child that ran around continuously until gone midnight. Sounds really travel in this building. The hotel is quite run down and tatty but the rooms are clean and we would have slept well apart from the noise. It’s right on the main road and so was difficult to unload our car. But you get what you pay for.
Great location opposite the Pavilion and close to the lanes and the beach.

United KingdomNo staff on site, no toilet in the room, just a shared communal one down the hall which lots of people used all night and due to the heavy doors woke us every time someone did. There was matted hair stuck on our pillow which was pretty gross.
It is a good location and the room looked nice.
