Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

tiny hostel with plenty of street parking located a block from the beach, offering simple breakfast from 7-9 am, relatively clean bathroom, comfortable bed, and plenty of activity recommendations (bike, towel, board for free or for rent, too!)

United States of AmericaMultiple sinks were slightly clogged in the bathroom. They give you your bed sheets, pillowcase, and sheets. I didn't expect this; checked in late, so I was shuffling around for a bit and felt sorry for my sleeping roommates.
Welcoming staff, clean rooms, water dispenser, kitchen, designated zones for smoking and non-smoking.

United States of AmericaMay be a pump on the roof for water make some Low-frequency noise. I would give an advice that they can put some springs system or soft pads under the pumps for release the vibration.
The staffs did a phenomenal job, take security immediately, clean kitchen frequently, control the rules well and friendly to guests all the time. They also provided several small and sweet offers.

United States of AmericaI was on the first floor and there were no women's bathroom. There was one all gender bathroom but since there was a shower in it. It almost always was occupied. I had to keep going to the all gender bathroom in the common area. Both my chicken tenders and alcohol were thrown out before the date I was leaving and I had them marked. Breakfast just had eggo waffles, oatmeal and small muffins, coffee was the only breakfast and breakfast stopped at 9 am.
It had a great vibe and I met a lot of friendly people. I always had someone to hang with.

SwedenThere are few restrooms which is especially notable in the morning. The upper bed in bunk bed was a little difficult to get out from. A minor thing, provide a toilet brush so the guest can clean if he has done a mess with number two. That will make it nicer for the next guest
This is an excellent hostel. The environment is very good. I really enjoyed the breakfast and that there were both coffee and tea during the whole day. The kitchen is well equipped, the only thing that lacks is a proper owen (there are two micro). The storage box under the bed is excellent.
