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.).

GermanyWasn't too clean and some things were broken, like the sink, the toilet seat, the beds were full of body hairs. The shower drain wasn't working so the shower was getting full of water.
The staff, very nice people, the prices are pretty fair and it's very well located.

AustraliaOnly one toilet per floor, which we have to share with over 20 people if the rooms are full. The mattress is bigger than the bed frame, doesn’t fit properly and makes an awkward position in angle and male it uncomfortable to sleep. The bed shake a lot and make noise as well.
The location is good, easy to find and close to the train line. Walking distance for a lot of places. The staff was helpful.

United KingdomYou have to pay for everything, even for a lock for a locker €5, if you want to be safe. Their worker, who replaces bedsheets, entered the room when I was standing in one underwear and did not even give one minute to get dressed. This is unacceptable. The mattresses are not comfortable and the bed linen always slips off it. In the shower, the curtains are half torn. Everything looks old and broken
Very good location, convenient to get to the city center

Receptionist on arrival was helpful, room was tidy. Reception didn't open the next morning at 7am as advertised which caused marathon runners to miss breakfast. When the emergency number was called there was no answer the first two times then on the third time it was answered by someone in a different hotel.

United KingdomDue to a things out of myself or the hostel's control I had to add an extra day to my stay which was okay but led confusion on my check out and sadly my sandals were thrown in the trash that left on the floor, when I asked about the cleaner had informed me he'd thrown them away and apologies profusely, of course it's not ideal but it's an honest mistake and can happen to anyone so it's not the end of the world.
It was exactly what I needed for my stay, a place to put my things then off I went to De Toekomst for my training course all then back to sleep, the transport links around were great for this and had a lot of nice places to eat nearby. The staff were very helpful when I needed to check in due to the late arrival from the airport.

ItalyThe hostel closes the reception at 11 pm and I was a bit panicked because the building was closed and I couldn't call them since I haven't activated international calls on my phone. A kind guy helped me call them and they replied to my call. They had emailed me which I didn't see. The staircase is extremely steep and narrow so if you have luggage, you need to be very careful that you do not trip down. Better to go if you don't have heavy luggage. The room was small and with less lighting. The toilet room was also small hardly enough for one person including the washbasin. I slept in four people's dormitory and the other 3 people came in early in the morning (from 2 am to 5 am) and so for me personally it was impossible to sleep with all the noises they were making. It will be a perfect place if you are able to sleep when others make noises.
The hotel was cheaper so definitely a choice for a short stay. I reached the location by taking a bus from Amsterdam Central station. It was around 20 minutes or so. There is a supermarket in a 1 km radius. Van Gogh museum was also really close. There is also a cake shop for breakfast near the museum. There is also a tram station nearby. I was late by 45 minutes when I was supposed to check-out but the receptionist was really kind to me and very understanding.

United KingdomBathrooms smelt of sewage and was littered with used toilet paper. Just of note, the bathroom is NOT ensuite so it’s a good idea to bring slippers to go back and forth between your room and bathroom. Also the stairs at the entrance and leading up to the different floors could use a good clean. The room was a bit small.
Location is great, very close to Museumplein and a large supermarkt. Addition of sink was helpful as well for drinking/ basic hygiene. The beds were comfortable, sheets supplied were clean.

The shared bathrooms were also very dirty with mold, broken shower door and no soap. The staff seemed uninterested and it was very obvious that they didn’t care about hygiene.
Great location near the city centre, however, the place was filthy.
