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.).

NetherlandsThe fake reviews worried us.
Nice roof terrace. YOU ONLY GET FREE BREAKFAST IF YOU BOOK VIA BOOKING.com ( tho if you extend day by day afterwards they keep the free breakfast involved). There was a water refill, we weren’t changed for it tho some others were (still only 3000 kip). And a swimming pool which felt essential. Also next door to jam so you could go there if you want a. More social vibe for an evening drinking.

SwedenYou don’t really want to go inside the pool, smells and looks bad. Not the owner but the other guy in the reception was changing the prices and asking for more money than he should several times. If you need to extend or pay talk to the owner. Otherwise he will make you pay more

GreeceFor the two out of the four days of our stay, there was no soap anywhere for the hands! I had to ask three times to finally get a bar of soap a bit before the checkout. Also, we booked our bus tickets for the next city from the reception. When we arrived at the bus stop the bus wouldn’t leave and waited there for 1 hour cause there was an empty seat. When we tried to communicate with the hostel they hung up. I think that if you are getting paid for a service then you should be able to help if something goes wrong. If not, don’t do it or at least don’t charge extra!
It was quite central and with a beautiful common rooftop

IrelandIn terms of value for money it’s not as good standard as hostels same price, the staff at the breakfast station is so unfriendly and grumpy, one toilet in a room of 10 beds (shower is in the toilet) is a disaster - if someone is showering and you need to use the toilet. Not enough to have one toilet for 10 bed dorm. The water refill should be free, in my opinion. Exchange rate was questionable, I think we were overcharged
It was ok, free breakfast is nice, good location, pool across the road, staff at the main desk are nice and helpful , beds are very comfy and it was relatively clean

PhilippinesAC is off during daytime, and only turns on at 7 pm. I was so tired from my early flight so I wanted to sleep, but was so difficult to get some rest in a very hot room. The blanket was not clean, it spread so many dust particles on my bed when I opened to use it.
The hostel was clean. And I enjoyed the free breakfast in the nice common area on the rooftop.
