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.).

IsraelThere was no soap in my bathroom, working batteries in the TV remote control, or bath towel in my room when I arrived. However, the staff took care of all of these issues within 24 hours of my notifying them.
I was very impressed with Tiberias Hostel. I had a problem with Booking.com adding an exorbitant bill when I added an extra night through their website. The hostel was very patient and trusting by giving me time to sort out the problem rather than making me pay the raised price up front. Beware of "changing dates" on Booking.com because they don't tell you how much it will cost and bill you after they get the OK from the property BEFORE asking you to confirm. In any case I am very grateful to Tiberias Hostel for not making my life miserable because of the technical issue.

IsraelThe kitchen facilities were almost non-existent. Needs at least a microwave, more coffee and tea supplies, milk/creamer, and more mugs. A proper kitchen, even a small one, would be good. Hostels are expected to provide some self-catering facilities.
The frig seal was not working, and the frig was also unbalanced, so it was leaking.

FranceSanitary situation wasn't good at all. No privacy courtains on the beds. No ac in common areas. Also, and this is not the fault of the property, but shady people around sometimes.
AC. Good price. Helpful stuff.

United KingdomI stayed at Tiberius Hostel for three nights. The staff at the hostel were very welcoming and hospitable. They offered me food and welcomed me to sit with them for dinner. The location is perfect for seeing the sites around the Sea of Galilee and is very affordable. The hostel has a roof that looks out across the Sea of Galilee, which is perfect to relax. The place was clean, and everything was in its right order. There isn't a bad word I could say about it. I would recommend booking this hostel if you are planning on staying in Tiberius or in the surrounding areas

AustraliaLuggage must be dragged up stairs. The dorms are quite small and cleaning was sporadic due to minimal staff because of the war, when I was there.
The hostel is easily reached down the same street as the bus station heading towards the Sea of Galilee. A pin is needed for the front door. Check in was quick and easy I had managed to ring them about my eta from the bus but apparently got the wrong number. The kitchen/dining room is large and well-stocked with cooking equipment. The rooftop is a lovely place to sit, socialize and enjoy the view. There's a clothes line and electrical sockets. The location is central and a short walk from Kinneret. Everybody including staff and other guests were friendly and helpful.

GermanyI didn't find a washing machine (but I'm not sure if there is one)
The price-performance ratio is excellent. Very central location. I was there during the war, so a lot of things were limited (there were no towels). Very nice lounge area for a dozen bloggers with enough power sockets... :-) Private sleeping bags are prohibited, but that makes sense (due to any "small animals" that may be brought along). Very informative displays about what you can do in the area. Very nice big kitchen. More accommodation for hard-core globetrotters than for people who want to go on vacation. Any time.

United KingdomThe rooms was a bit small for my family of four and could do with a larger refrigerator. I also think it was a bit too pricey but it served a purpose.
The breakfast was just a breakfast nothing to write home about. The staff was very helpfully regarding recommending places to eat and places to visit. We stayed in a family room which was very quiet.
