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 reviewThe room was actually good, it valued the money that they required, but apart from that, the bathroom was totally uncomfortable. The cleanliness was acceptable, though

Verified reviewOn the wall there is a large chart where students write down who had sex with whom, and in what way.
If you want to humiliate yourself – welcome. This place is not meant for rent. You will be given an abandoned small room in a student dormitory, probably one that even the poorest students refused to live in. Old paint is falling from the walls onto your head. There is a shared shower for the whole floor, but it’s full of cockroaches that run in from the kitchen, which you will only dare to enter once just to see what it looks like. Men freely enter the women’s shower. Around 50 students live on the same floor, 6 floors in total, 11 buildings. After 2 AM they were still singing, shouting outside the doors, and the noise outside the window was no better. Complaining would be pointless: the students are just at home, doing what students usually do – drinking, singing, harassing girls. By 8:00 morning it feels like a summer camp, with speaker blasting music in the corridor. I can’t imagine who this accommodation could possibly be suitable for: for the same money you can stay in a normal tourist hostel. Total disrespect for guests – a can of paint costs less than a single booking, yet the walls haven’t been painted since the last century. The place is located on a hill, the funicular was dismantled long ago.

It was dirty and everything in our rooms was broken, there were swarms of people taking over the whole place having “orgys” and making us uncomfortable, staff did nothing about this. Staff were ignorant and unkind and we were uncomfortable the whole time. There was blood on our walls and the beds hadn’t been cleaned.

Verified reviewLocation good and easy to find. Staff was welcoming and efficient. The description matched the place and there were no surprises, except for the bathroom. The bathrooms and toilets are seperate for women and men as well as two kitches on each floor.
There were tons of little cockroach babies in the bathroom, especially at night, which made it uncomfortable to shower because we had to watch out for every step. There was a cleaner during the day but the roaches always came back.

We chose it because it was one of the cheapest options, but we deeply regret it. During the night, the men staying in the next room banged on our door multiple times. We were too scared to make a sound, turned off the lights, and couldn’t sleep at all. There isn’t even a female-only wc. It was a terrifying, dirty, and extremely unsafe place. We had a horrible experience and absolutely do not recommend it!

Verified reviewThe bathroom was not very clean. You can hear people from other rooms or the lobby. The staff who was responsible for the digital communication through booking wasn’t attentive. I didn’t get clear instructions for check-in or other things related to the stay until I asked.
