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.).

AustraliaThe stairs outside our room which lead to the staff area were very noisey and kept us awake of a night time and the staff were quite loud overnight so we found ourselves running off minimal sleep. We also had to request for new towels and for the room to be serviced which we thought would just be part of the service.
It was in a fantastic location and had everything you could’ve wanted including a washing machine which we really liked

United KingdomRoom was right next to the hostel's bathrooms and the front door, so it was a little noisy at some times - but over all it wasn't too bad, especially considering it was a Saturday night. Bathrooms were a bit messy, but they're communal bathrooms after all.
Friendly staff and a comfy bed in a clean room, really close to the centre of Queenstown. The economy double room had a shared bathroom as noted in the listing, and was very basic, but it was fine for a surprise nights' stay after my flight was cancelled. It felt like it had a good, friendly communal hostel vibe for any travellers into that.

AustraliaVery hard to find due to road works. No signs to direct us to Haka House despite road works making it awkward. We drove around for an hour before calling and we still could not find it. Tea and coffee provided but no milk. When we asked for milk was told we have to find our own. Very limited parking so we had to park a 10 minute walk away up a hill. Noisy at night.
Room was clean and good size and comfortable. Staff friendly.

AustraliaThe laundry room was occupied when we needed it, only had 2 washing machines. Music was loud after 11pm and housemates often didn’t respect the quiet hours in the kitchen. Showers weren’t very clean.
The location and the kitchen facilities! Great accommodation for people on a budget. 5 minute walk from almost anything around Queenstown, less than 3 minutes to the nearest bus.

New ZealandThis place is a bit of a maze. Facilities were nice enough but not modern/updated and also sometimes not clean. Dorm room was small, and there are gaps between the bunks and the wall so things can easily fall down.
The hostel is just a couple blocks from the center of town, which is great. We had a heater that we could control so despite it being freezing outside I was never cold in my room. I loved how each bed had a charging port, a light, AND curtains on all exposed edges -- was fantastic and made your bunk more comfortable. The staff were also friendly. The hostel was very quiet while I was there; I enjoyed spending time at the big table in the kitchen. Was great to have two separate kitchens for guests to use. Overall had a pleasant stay.

New ZealandOne young blonde haired male staff member unlocked and entered our room without notice, permission or knocking while one of us was inside. When we questioned why he did this he said it was to collect rubbish but he had only opened the door to peer in, no rubbish was collected and did not apologise. Felt unsafe and uncomfortable about this and security of ourselves and belongings.
Nice location, staff were mostly good, facilities mostly good

AustraliaThe rooms got cold very quickly. The space was very limited. The showers were poor. They need to be looked at. The water pressure was low, the cleanliness was low and the bathroom was always wet when someone had used them.
The location was perfect as it was in a quiet enough location that the traffic was not felt. The room was a double bunk and it was very tight for space. The storage facilities under the bunk beds were however very big. The dining area and kitchen was ideal.
