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.).

AustraliaWhat would be better is if Palestine was able to control its own affairs and tourists could return unimpeded . Justice and human rights for Palestine should not be denied .
The whole of Palestine is suffering greatly and the fact that Elias continues to run a business as best he can in these circumstances is incredible. He kindly upgraded me from a dorm room to a private room for the same low cost . I was able to come and go as I pleased .

Elias, Host was most accommodating person I ever had! That was a pleasure to stay at his place. You have everything you need and it's just couple of steps from the best part of the city.

The location of the hostel is perfect. The street, inlike many others there, is calm and the balcony offers a great view. It is close to all the sights. But mostly Elias is able to create a feeling of zen with all his plants. He is also the best informationpoint in the whole westbank and he has everything in googlemaps pinpoints, so he makes it very easy. You can ask him anything, which is lovely. Breakfast is very tasty!

We booked here, as the hotel we usually stay at had overbooked and couldn't fulfil all of our booking. We'd walked past this place on the way to Manger Square, so decided to book here for the night we needed the extra booking. None of us expected much, but were pleasantly surprised. The 'reception room', was light and roomy, great kitchen bar, with free tea and coffee. Rooms were big, clean and had a lovely balcony. The bunk beds all had individual lights and power points and were really comfortable with lovely crisp bedlinen. We were met by Hilda, the owner's mother, who was delightful. We sat with her for a while and she made us popcorn. We also asked if she could do us breakfast the following day, it was 15 NIS and was a bargain as everything was homemade and fresh. Elias the owner was so helpful. We would definitely stay here again, and have decided we preferred it to the other hotel we usually stayed at!

Elias, the owner, is a great host. He is always there to help, Took us in a nice tour, suggested the best places where to eat and guided us in a very nice hike. The place feels like home, it is very close to the old city center , rooms are spacious and beds comfortable.
