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.).

BulgariaThe only thing I didn't like was that our stay was only two nights. This is a place I would like to stay at least a week, because it's worth it.
Lovely and very cozy place. The location is magnificent - 50 meters from the town hall, extremely close to the historic part of Sintra. The staff are kind, helpful and create a lovely serene feeling. The rooms are spacious and clean. We had a wonderful view from the balcony. An exceptional experience at an incredibly low price. They offer great coffee and breakfast. Craft beer is something everyone should try. We would love to come back ❤️

Moon Hill Hostel is located in the heart of Sintra, which makes the train station, local buses, castle shuttles and restaurants within an easy walk. The place was wonderful, great breakfast included, clean rooms and helpful, kind staff. Highly recommended.

RussiaThe beds are quite comfortable but the mattress was too soft for me and the sheet was always moving. There were some imperfections on the furniture but nothing critical. there is no wardrobe neither clothes hangers. But there is a drawer chest. The room is situated quite far from other rooms and the entrance into the floor, that's why it was quiet (in other rooms they might hear when somebody is entering as the soundproof is not ideal, but still good)
The staff is very friendly The location is optimal for getting to the railway station and to public transport. There are lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The locks are digital (they provide you with a card) The room is spacious (and even feels empty) and has 3 windows. The air-conditioner helped as the night was not warm outside. there is a tiny private yard (or how to call a place with a table and two chairs) surrounded by 3-meter walls, looks more like a well but provides an opportunity to sit quietly in fresh air. The bathroom is big, the shower cabin is also big enough and doesn't leak. The hot water is great. The linen is good, towels are great (though one of them looked a bit washed-out). The TV worked. The wi-fi Internet connection was ok, the speed was good (though not enough for good video calls) The breakfast is served in a separate room. There are cereals, milk (as well as vegan milk), cheese, ham, butter, jam, bread, buns, croissants, a cake, some fruit, juice, coffee machine, tea, kettle. The best breakfast included in the price for a hostel I have ever had. Thank you a lot! I enjoyed staying here!

United StatesThere wasn’t any hot water available the night and morning of my stay. After a long hot sweaty day of walking and climbing miles through the town, I was looking forward to a shower. Even just mildly warm water would have been sufficient, but the water was cold. I checked with the attendant at the front desk and he contacted another attendant, but was only able to recommend that I wait and try again later because maybe everyone was using the water. I let the water run in the upstairs sink and shower for long periods of time, and even checked again at 5 AM the next morning, but there was never any warm or hot water upstairs. When I picked up my bag from the storage room at 11 AM the next day, there was hot water in the first floor bathroom sink. I would also like to suggest that perhaps the door latches can be changed out to be less noisy; especially on the doors that do not lock, there is no need to have a latch engage. The spaciousness of the facility created significant echoes of all noises, and eliminating door latching of unlocked doors (bathroom and hallway corridor doors) would decrease the sharper noise.
The staff are excellent: very polite, very accommodating, and very attentive. The building is spacious and exceptionally clean, and the bathrooms are very nice. My mattress was very comfortable. And the location is perfect!

United KingdomThe showers were push to start ones (like in old swimming pools) and not massively warm but that was just a minimal issue. Everything else was completely fine.
Perfect location - just around the corner from the train station and the bus stops to go an explore all of the sights. Also just around the corner from a lovely little restaurant. Great having breakfast included, just a nice little cold buffet with warm drinks and cakes too. Clean and tidy room, friendly/helpful staff.
