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.).

FranceIt’s not too easy to find the entrance. But once you see the first signs, then it becomes easy. I think it needs a kind of “Traffic panel” with a flash Like ⬅️ indicating to the little street beside the Main Street. (The hostels address is in the Main Street, but the entrance is at the little street besides)
Lovely Hostel team. The Sri Lanka guy had a good approach and made me very comfortable in the hostel. The place is quite and near to the extreme downtown of the old village.

United StatesNo kitchen or coffee, but there is a fridge in common room (although my food disappeared over night!) No fan or ac in room, cooled off around 2am with windows open, but noisy street. All good with ear plugs though!
Great location in city center, great value for money, huge common room.

RomaniaSmall issue at the showers with mold smell and some not-so-clean sinks, but nothing too disturbing.
Very central, close to anything interesting in the city. If you are lucky, your room is not fronting the main street - which becomes noisy early in the morning. The staff was more than welcoming and helped me with anything, even if I arrived after their working hours. Bed was very comfy and room spacious.

United KingdomI didn’t like that there was no soap for the shower and no air conditioning in the room, which made it very hot in the summer.
I liked the 24-hour reception, friendly staff, and clean room.

United StatesThe showers and restrooms, though would be clean, would quickly start to smell bad. Also there was a sign on the kitchen (there are certain rules about cooking, such as no frying) about pests...

ItalyI stayed three nights at the end of August, it wasn’t crowded at all and that was probably good for me because I slept in a ten people’s room with only other 3/4 guys, but on the other side not many people to interact with. Bathrooms and showers good but not great, the room was clean. The low price and the central position are a key factor.
