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.).

GermanyThere was no water in the pool but we didn’t wanna use it anyway because there is so much to do on the island and many beaches
We got a free upgrade, the room was spacious the water was hot, the owner was very kind and also helped us book our ferries. We could rent a snorkel for only 3$. The room was cleaned very day. Everything was very clean, there was free filtered water and the shared kitchen was very clean. Location was totally fine. We enjoyed to now stay in the busy touristy center. Can totally recommend

GermanyAt times there was a bad smell in the room, I was told it could be because of their toilet compost system and they would look into it.
Very clean room, free water, nice personnel (The location isn't as central as others, but it is within walking distance, less touristic und calmer at night. Marketplace is close by with great fresh empanadas.)

IrelandIt is 15 mins from the port. But I knew this booking it. It's not something I didn't like, but it is just so people are aware of it. Oh and the pool wasn't usable 🤔. It wasn't very sociable.

EstoniaSince my partner has a tendency to pull the blanket in his sleep we asked for a second blanket and they asked 20usd for it saying that the price we pay for the room is too cheap for them to give us another blanket. Many small blood-thirsty mosquitos in the kitchen but that’s nature :-)
The most professional staff I met in Galapagos. We only stayed for one night but she took her time to explain us everything. The room was spacious and very clean. The bed and pillows comfortable. The kitchen had a lot of cookware and salt-sugar, drinking water and huge fridges. The hostel is locked in the late hours. Air conditioning in the room worked great.

CanadaThis is a great hostal, the rooms are large, private and really clean. The best thing about the hostal is the availability and friendliness of the hosts. They are always ready to help and will help you find the best tours and transfers. They helped me with all my tours, transfers and even my laundry. It’s also a walking distance from both the bus terminal and the port
