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 reviewIt is just a single room with beds in it and a bathroom attached. It’s very central which is convenient.
My wall plug charger was taken from being plugged into my bed. There was also a leak in the bathroom and the floor was very very wet.

Verified reviewHonestly the location is great and the owners were nice and respond quickly. The matress and bed were comfortable. It is quite small but you can also see that in the pictures, and it is very cheap.
There is not much privacy, you share a curtain with the top and lower bunk so that is very impractical. If someone gets in bed it is very loud as well. Between the beds is a small curtain/screen but it doesn't completely close of. That means people next to you can easily look in and you hear more noise. Also that little curtain fell down when i was staying there, it is not very wel secured. Shower is small and there arent any hooks to put your dry and clean clothes or towel. The thing that made this experience not great was the cleanliness, the owner told me the cleaner was sick so she cleaned so maybe that is the reason. But when I came in after the cleaner was there is was still dirty. The floors are sticky and covered with sand and other stuff. It seems like it doesn't get vacuumed or mopped. Where you store the bag it is really dirty and sandy. My bed light did not work. And also the toilet was pretty dirty. The worst thing however was the smell, it smelled like sweaty feet the whole time I was there and even with use of the room spray it did not go away. If they would improve the cleaning it could really be a great place.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly, loved that they provide locks and water free of charge! And it was very quiet once the door was shut.
It's very small. We were only 3 and it felt small, having it fully booked must be very tight. The one bathroom is tiny. No lights by the beds and the room is quite dark. Curtains are one single piece per bunk bed, meaning that the person on top and the one on the bottom is sharing the same curtain.

Verified reviewProperty was in a great area and the owner was lovely and put a lot of effort into making the place fun, also gave a discount on a booze cruise which he runs and super secure
Rooms were very small and the beds aren’t separated, would be good with even some wood or something between the beds. It is exactly as you see small room, no reception area straight off the street.
