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.).

RussiaFew technical issues (the window was not closing, the bathroom ventilator did not function). It would be good to state the size of the parking discount clearly for those traveling by car (instead of 25 one pays 22.5 per day).

LuxembourgThe facilities were really basic, and I am not a demanding person. The bathroom is basically a barely ventilated plastic box, the sink was filling immediately as soon as I opened the tap. The shabby bunk bed was screaching and shaking every time my husband turned around, so don't put anyone heavy onto the top :)
It was an ad hoc decision to stay in Groningen, so I appreciated the fact that we found cheap accommodation the same day. The location is great, right next to the city center, there are bars and restaurants all around. Checking in and out was fast and unproblematic, staff were nice.

GreeceThe room's cleanliness was quite basic and felt minimal. The beds were also uncomfortable, metal-framed and creaky, more like folding beds than proper ones, which made sleeping difficult.
The location was convenient, close to the city center, and the room was adequately sized for three people. Breakfast was satisfactory. We also visited the hotel’s bar-restaurant in the evening, which had a pleasant space, polite staff, and decent drinks.

United KingdomThe small room I was given was very different from the sumptuous, spacious one implied in the photo on the listing. It also wasn't ready until a full hour after the official check-in time, which was not what I needed after a long drive and wanting to get in to get freshened up before meeting friends.... All of the power sockets in the room were placed quite a way up off the floor, meaning that practically they couldn't be used, because there was no surface on which to support the devices etc being powered. Finally, the hotel has many random changes of height (ie steps up and down) in the corridors leading to the rooms, which aren't clearly marked imho. I was caught out a couple of times by these.
Fantastic location - everything I needed was within an easy walk.

HungaryOur room was very small and the bathroom fan and a light didn't work. While they promised maintenance would fix it, they never did. Additionally, the common kitchen had only a small fridge and a microwave and kettle. There is no sink, so you have to go into the bar to ask them to fill the kettle.
The location is great, the public areas are comfortable.

DenmarkWith the rooms being as small as they are, having better storage would be good. Just a few extra hangers for clothes, and especially a shelf or similar up by the top bunks in the triple rooms. All in all I feel that the space could be used much more efficiently, if there was just a few extra places to put things. The whole hostel area felt a bit like under serviced? I guess maybe we visited outside the season. We had the sign for changing towels out multiple times, for many hours while we were out, and they weren’t changed. The shared toilets by the hostel lounge, weren’t in amazing condition. The room had quite a bit of cod webs in the ceiling. The shared kitchen and lounge is nice, but could probably do with more regular cleaning. We also kinda missed having a sink in the shared kitchen. All in all, no big deal, I just feel there’s a lot of extra potential here.
Great location in the city. The rooms were fine, beds and pillows were comfortable. The shared kitchen/lounge was great, and we got a lot of use out of it.

It is in between the train station and the city center, super convinient distance-wise; also there is a bus stop right in front of the hostel. Personeel was friendly. You can leave your luggage after check-out.
