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):
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.).

AustraliaThere's no cover space outside. Almost no shade. All the chilling area (couch, seats, tables, chairs...) aren't covered. Same for the pool. Only one fan for the whole backpack. No pressure in the showers. No pressure in the hot water kitchen sink. All the sunbath, the oven, the pans are in a terrible state.... + indigenous come regularly in the backpack at night (3times this month)
Nice & cosy place. Really clean with an outside space spacious with big tables & several efficient & really good fridges ! Security camera working 24/7 in the kitchen .

GermanyApparently at least the week I was there it was common (maybe just a mishap this particular week) that rooms were overbooked so a few of us were asked to change location or sleep in a mixed dorm rather than women's dorm. I ended up in my room that I'd booked but that was a bit stressful as we were out and away during the day and when I thought I'd come for my room, things had changed. I didn't love that the kitchen smelled really poorly, I assume it might have been the bins. That might have been other travellers' doing but that was foul. Bathroom tap kept running, wasting precious water, one of the toilets kept the light on 24/7 as switch was broken, wasting precious energy. Shower was passable, not a heap of water coming out but hot and cold - almost outdoor showers as doors for showers and toilets were open at bottom and top like public toilets, right next to pool. Was okay, again felt like camping. Nowhere to leave valuables, no staff to see and talk to, wouldn't pick up the phone for a call but messaged back after a while. Pool chairs and sofas had seen better years, very well-used. I found it a bit pricey considering no staff were present at any time (except for changing sheets). Other travellers had used up all cupboard and floor space, so had to sleep with my luggage in bed.
Nice pool, friendly travellers there with me, funky setup - felt like a campsite. A/c was good to have in the room, self checkin worked for me. Cleanliness in room was alright. Being able to leave luggage for the day was cool, though was outdoors without any protection or anyone looking after it.

NetherlandsCould be a bit cleaner and when I arrived there was no one for check in. Also got some confusions about the wrong rooms after extending, but at the end it was all good. Nice staff, good people and cozy place!
The hostel is really nice. Close to everything, but out of the partyscene. It is a quite and social place, but not a party hostel. Good kitchen. Wifi was ok. Not everywhere, but in common areas it kind of worked. Kitchen was good with a lot of equipment to make proper meals with. Lots of fridges and storage space for food.

AustraliaWe were both disgusted at the ageism we were confronted with. It is against the law and we will be making a formal complaint to the ACCC and the Federal Minister. Hence we did not stay in the property as we felt unwelcome.
