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 location. Surrounded by shops and a market. Easy access to public transport and taxi services. Mr Julian is friendly and helpful.
The room smells . Needs to air out the room before guests check in. The room is clean but the towels weren't much more than rags and the bed rugs were worse . It's difficult to get in and out once the guests house's front door is closed The code system doesn't work properly so I was locked out twice. Booking. Com also need to advise guests of the extra charges. 10 US dollars extra service charge , and 4% extra for paying with a debt or credit card.

Verified reviewLocation is close to sites and good food places. The host was friendly.
The sheets, towels, and pillow cases were dirty and had yellow and red marks/ stains. There is no insulation, so you hear everything from outside, and the cockroaches easily get it. On the second day, the bathroom light stopped working. There was only cold water to shower with. There is a karaoke late on friday nights, so don't plan on sleeping then. The rooms are in need of renovation since there are big gaps in an outside door that let's cockroaches in. The room gets warmer than the outdoor temperature. There is apparently a kitchen area, but guests basically never have access to it. The host warned us the first day to not be out after dark since it is "dangerous," so we mostly took dinner back to our room and ate with the utensils provided by the restaurants. When you are booking this room, you are booking a place to sleep. Don't expect cleanliness.

Verified reviewI liked having the cost of my first night removed as it was closed when I arrived at 2 a.m. I had to go to my tour hotel and wait until 4 a.m. to even get registered due to so many bookings there. In the end I just stayed in the lobby until I could book a taxi to buy postcards and stamps and then went to Julian Guesthouse. My flight was delayed and processing the passengers took an inordinate amount of time such that I could not reach Julian Guesthouse before closure at midnight. Upon arrival there I could not get in despite my driver trying every conceivable number to reach the owner. I had to pay an extra taxi charge to return the next day for my booking of the second night. There were no rooms at my tour hotel given the Easter holiday and full occupancy there before my tour began the following day, so I was thankful that I had that booking at Julian's Guesthouse. Julian automatically offered to remove that charge for the first night given my attempt to honour my booking but the impossibility to do so given the lack of 24-hour staffing. I enjoyed my conversation with other personnel at the hotel. I could write postcards while waiting for a taxi the next day and enjoy a complimentary coffee. Julian was an agreeable host.
24-hour entry possibility

Verified reviewThe host/owner is outstanding. I was coming in after hours and he set up a self check in for me. After he sent me the info, he personally called me on WhatsApp to make sure I got it and to ask if I had questions. What great service.
Listen, it's not a hotel. It's more like typical house with rooms accessed from the outside. So, the bathroom wasn't nice looking, but that's real life there; it was clean. Sheets and towel were clean.

Verified reviewJulian is a nice man who was very flexible with my late night check-in. The guesthouse is located around various restaurants and shops. While the rooms are not luxurious, they are great for backpackers and budget travelers.
