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 reviewGreat place, beautiful terrace with view on the river and the park, wifi working perfectly, nice and well equipped kitchen, very nice and kind staff, everything was kept clean.
No air conditioning in the room (can be tricky in July and August) but overall not a huge problem, even though temperatures during the day were very high, in the room the ambience was decent if windows were kept open to allow air to circulate (especially at night). The main issue for me was with the length of the bed, if you are over 180cm it can be a little short depending on how you position yourself during the sleep..

Verified reviewAmazing location and beautiful terrace to chill. Staff were nice. The bathroom and toilet were clean. The kitchen was clean.
Hot. There is no aircon in any of the rooms, if the weather is over 30 degrees be prepared to sweat and not having any proper sleep. If this hostel had aircon in the rooms would be a 9 or a 10.

Verified reviewI really like this place! Firstly, it is well located and very close to the city centre. Secondly, it has everything: a washing machine and a dryer, a kitchen, dishes, a toilet and a shower in each room, a beautiful terrace overlooking the river; thirdly, a very nice woman at the reception who will tell you everything and show you everything; I really liked everything here: the price, the cleanliness, the amenities, and the availability of everything you need. There is also a bar and restaurants very close by, so you can have breakfast here too. Overall, thank you very much for this place and I wholeheartedly recommend this place and wish everyone to stay here!

Verified reviewThe location is lovely, also the lady at the front desk was very nice.
Even though I stayed there while the temperatures weren't too high (in May), the room was very stuffy and humid. Most likely due to the river and the fact that there were four people sleeping in a small room.
