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.).

United KingdomThere’s a lot of dodgy people around the area at night, which I guess is expected for big cities. The toilets were not clean, someone had diarrhoea in my floor and I couldn’t use the toilet. The doors can’t be locked in the toilet and the men’s toilets were not properly cleaned. Also, the building is so strangely built, so many floors with narrow stair cases and confusing passages.
It’s close to a bus stop and train station. Rooms are not too bad, there’s space to move around.

North MacedoniaMy biggest problem was the small toilet. That size for a toilet is not normal. It is so uncomfortable. If you are located on the last floor, you must go one floor down to go to toilet or in the shower, which if you take in to consideration the architecture of the Douch stairs, it was very uncomfy. The second thing I didn't like was the practicality of the room -only one table in a room for two. No place where to put your things. There was enough space to add some practical thing (like another table, closet..).
Location, it was clean, warm.

PolandDefinitely it was not the Best hostel I have Been to. The Main disadvantage is lack of kitchen. I don't ask for breakfast, however, I would like to make Just a tea...another thing- small electric lamps attached to every bed would be useful.

IsraelThe towel is not included in the room rate, and an additional 5 EUR charge applies for it. Access to the rooms is quite uncomfortable due to the steep stairs. When I asked to stay an extra night, the reception informed me that the hotel was fully booked, but the rooms appeared in booking.com
Clean and quit hostel. fair value. overall good hotel if you travel on budget and want to stay in private room.

SwedenFloor was a bit creaky, very steep stairs up to the room which were scary but also kind of hilarious. No elevator.
Friend group of four were satisfied with our stay! Super close to bus station that took us all the way to the train station. Supermarket close by. Staff was super nice and quickly gave us another room when we realised that the room we were assigned was messy from the last people who stayed there. Beds were made upon arrival, check-in was smooth and rooms had lockers, sink and shower. We were comfortable during our stay!

UkraineThe room could be nicer if they would just paint it in white, it looked and felt like a prison cell, no decoration, no colors, just metal bunk beds and metal locker, sink with mirror and chair, all in all a bit depressive. Good for one night, a bit too harsh for longer stay.
It was cheap in comparison to other places for a separate room for two, not far from central part of the city
