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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Czech RepublicThe room is small, the shower was dirty, the room was dirty and everything needs rennovation. The biggest problem is that there was supposed to be 2 single beds and one double bed. However this double bed was only slightly larger than standard single bed so beware if you really need 4 places to sleep.
The only thing why you should choose this accomodation is because of the location very close to city centre. The stairs often mentioned in the reviews are absolutely ok for this location. Also as a bonus there was a shower at our room.

CanadaBathroom was very small and the shower had nothing to prevent water from getting absolutely everywhere. Beds were also extremely noisy, every movement made the springs creak horrifically.
If you're able to handle the stairs this place is very convenient and close to the city centre. Rooms were modest but clean, staff were very friendly and helpful.

IrelandWalls needed a paint, sheet were clean but stained. Some of the showers need a simple bit of work, shower head to be attached to the wall, somewhere for your shower gel, etc.
Convenience, well located, it did what it said it would do. No bunk beds which was a bonus for us, bed we're incredibly comfortable.

AustraliaRoom was very small and hot. I had to keep window closed in rainy days making it even more hot. No AC or fans available. Bed was not very comfortable. Room was not very clean either. Amenities were ok, but could need more regular cleaning.
Hotel is quite central. Most Amsterdam's sightseeing were within 30 min reach by foot. Anne Frank house was at about 5 min walk. Staff was very friendly and always available to help. I had my sheet wet due to a thunderstorm and they assisted to change them. WiFi was great.

United KingdomSuper steep stairs, no breakfast (even though it was advertised as included in price), bed slanted to one side. My original room was over a busy street and was very loud with the buses and trams than ran until almost 1am. However, I was able to switch to a quieter room for the remainder of my stay, thankfully. One night someone knocked on my door at midnight, which was a bit unnerving and when I didn't answer I heard scratching on my door a few minutes later; the place generally felt safe, except that night.
I would not book this place if you are expecting a 'normal' hotel experience. It is what it is - small rooms with basic facilities and shared bathrooms. The staff were excellent, though.

NetherlandsAmsterdam hotel prices have become so expensive these days. This was the best room I could find when you look at value for money and I still paid 90 euros for a really small room and a shower on another level....
The location is nice. In the middle of several drinking areas and close to Central Station.

United StatesNicer carpet or New room carpet would have been a bonus.
like Every one are talking here, Location is Great! Right next to Anne Frank house.The staff are super super nice and friendly which compensates some odds. The steps are very steep but that's how the older construction of houses in city, if you have very large bags watch out. My Room didn't have A/C, if you are travelling on hot summer days, check on it. Budget friendly. Sharing bathrooms are right next door, just for shower you need to go one floor down or up. Stay was great to me.Leaving key with them is no problem its just for there safety, most of European hotels ask for ( not talking about 5star hotels here). Bonus Tip-Try Turkey pizza at Effendy -Lahmacun Cafe (Jordaan) 5mins walk :-)

SwitzerlandI've seen psych ward rooms that looked better than my room, but it has it's charm and for the price it's still better than sleeping in a hostel with 7 strangers in the room. Space is limited (especially in the bathroom it's hard to turn around) but the staff makes it up in service.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room fullfilled its purpose. The location was great, extremely central and in a nice area to take a stroll around.
