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.).

IsraelOur AC unit wasn't working so we had no heating in the room which was not ideal. However the staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and that even though the heating wasn't working that we stayed warm. Eloise and the german guy (sorry we don't remember the name...) provided exceptional service! They made our stay wonderful.
The staff!!! The hostel is new and very clean!

AustraliaA bit noisy. We had a private room and had the constant noise of a water tank/ pipes next to the bed + people running up and down the stairs at night
Amazing location. Very clean and comfortable hostel! Staff are super friendly and helpful and really keep shared areas spotless (not common in a hostel). Totally recommend!

FinlandLoft and the toilet were quite small. I signed in for 2 different yoga lessons but none of them really happened so that was little disappointing. Anyway, overall experience was really nice!
The single loft was clean, perfect fluffy couch and good bed with lovely white bed sheets. Kitchen was good and plenty of space to store your own food and cook. Also laundry machines and common areas, nice activities.

FranceThere was no window, both in the room and in the bathroom, so it smelt quite bad. It was not ideal to have one bathroom in a 4-bed room. The wifi did not work.
The bed was comfortable and having a curtain was great. The kitchen was very convenient. The location was excellent.

AustraliaThe room was okay, but it smelled like sweat. The bathroom was also little bit dirty.
It was right in front of the Bondi Beach, so right after I got up I ran straightaway to the beach for the sunrise! Also it’s located close to a couple of bus stops so it’s convenient.

United KingdomThe drains in the bathroom had a REALLY bad smell, especially when you ran the water. Our bedding / towels weren’t changed during a 10 day stay and we had to request it. Very loud drains above our room which made loud creaking sounds. Very thin walls also so you can hear everything!
Loved the location! The staff were really friendly and helpful. Facilities were good. It did get a little busy in the kitchen during peak times, but the food storage system was brilliant. WiFi was great, our room was clean & cosy (stayed in a private room instead of shared). Huge difference from when I stayed before it was renovated.
