How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewExcellent location, great staff, solid breakfast, plenty of communal areas, with the view on the 1000 windows. Well organized, sometimes they have activities at night and they can help you with tours. Wifi was pretty good but some zones of the property is out reach.
I tried two different bunk beds in 3 nights and there is huge lack of support. The mattresses are fine, it’s an hostel, but some wooden laths are missing and my sleep has been pretty bad.

Verified reviewGood social vibe, has a nice aesthetic with great views of the terraced houses from the outdoor area. Staff are nice. Good selection for breakfast.
I liked the vibe however being in the 4 connected wooden bunks was impossible to get sleep as every time anyone in the bunk sets moved all the beds moved jolting me awake. Staff did offer to put me in another bed but by this point I was too sleep deprived and needed my own space so booked in elsewhere. Also the toilet seats you have to fight to keep up when you are on the toilet. They are always closing on you.

Verified reviewWe stayed in a private room, the bed and facilities were very comfortable and clean. The hosts were helpful and kind, breakfast was simple but good. Walking distance to everything, with restaurants close by and small shops.
Coffee quickly ran out in the morning

Verified reviewThe view and the building are really beautiful
It is really dirty, bathrooms are not cleaned frequently. If you come back for breakfast at 9:30 there is nothing left to eat. (It is supposed to be served until 10:00). The price is too high compared to all the other hotels around. I would not rent this room with shared bathroom again. They also don’t provide normal sheets (you need to sleep under a blanket). The bathroom was the worst experience.
Thanks for the review! Our bathrooms are cleaned every day, breakfast is served (and refilled) until 10:00, and yes, we provide actual sheets. But instead of mentioning any of this during your three-night stay, you waited until checkout to write a dramatic review? We’re always happy to help if something’s not right. just gotta let us know while you’re here. Most guests enjoy the views, the vibe, and even the bathrooms. Sorry it wasn’t your scene, but hey, three nights is a pretty long time to suffer in silence. Wishing you happier mornings and magical sheet experiences ahead!
