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.).

GermanyWashing facilities on site would have been nice, closest laundromat is about 10-12 minutes walk. Shared kitchen facilities were a bit run down but still useful.
Good place to stop and have a rest day along the Camino. Spacious rooms, balcony, reasonably comfortable beds, short walk into town. Breakfast was basic but adequate considering the price. Staff were friendly and helpful, 24 hour front desk also convenient.

New ZealandLots of showers available but water and lights on very short timers. Only a few power outlets in room and they were not next to bunks.
They let me check in at 3.30pm (early), 4 bed female dorm with free towel provided (only 2 of us in it). There was a kitchen with a cooktop. Living room had TV with movies in English. Shower gel in shower. Paper towels in bathroom. Individual light by bed. Cotton sheets and a duvet provided. Great breakfast (bread rolls and bread for toast, ham, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, bananas, oranges, yoghurts, several cereals, jams and honey, teas, coffee, hot chocolate and orange juice). Room had an outdoor patio and a wardrobe each with one coat hanger each person. Room was quiet. Location good for Coastal Camino Portuguse (camino goes left as you come off Ponte Eiffel but hostel is to the right about two blocks).

United StatesGood location, river front, to the right of the Camino, about 200m, after crossing the bridge. Although not in the historical center, it’s a great option if you’re not pressed by time (check-in at 4pm, breakfast starts at 8am). Cristela and Vitor are most welcoming and helpful, breakfast (included) is buffet-style but there is also a (basic) kitchen if you want to cook your meals. I would stay again and recommend.

CanadaWe were sure not pleased with the teenagers (sports team?) running up and down the halls for hours. We are doing the Camino de Santiago and really needed rest and quiet after walking 34 km. The kids left the shower area a mess. Also, we needed to do laundry and learned upon arrival that the machines were not working, so we had to go to a laundromat (fortunately there was one not too far away).
The best things were the size of the room, the balcony with a view, and ESPECIALLY the breakfast. The man who runs the place let us have breakfast early so we could get back on our journey. Beds and bedding were fine too!
