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 StatesSound insulation (hear everything outside and in neighboring room) and bright light gets through window blinds at night, so it's not dark enough.
Renovated rooms. Great location and value. Friendly desk staff. Easy and free parking unlike other inns at Key West.

United KingdomThe road which ran alongside it was quite busy therefore the sound of traffic was pretty disturbing. Also, the sound of fellow guests talking loudly outside, and quite late into the night was disturbing. Thankfully I had my ear-plugs.

NetherlandsThe airconditioning made a lot of noise, it kept me awake at night. And the bed was a bit hard for me to sleep on, but I took that into account for the low price I paid.. The rooms were already under reconstruction: its gonna be a motel with only private rooms in the future . With a new pool.!
The location: I could walk to all the highlights! And the reception desk was open 24/7 and always helpful. I hadnt been in a youth hostel for 30 years, but I was lucky that during my four nights, for only 2 nights I had 1 roommate in my Womens dorm for 6 persons. So I had a lot of privacy.

United StatesThe room had no windows, and the walls are very thin. I was disturbed by the neighbors, who were noisy until around 1 a.m. and then awake again around 5 a.m. Additionally, they smoked just outside their room, and the smell of smoke came into mine, which was very unpleasant.
Friendly stuff . Free parking. Clean rooms.

United StatesAs above, the construction noise was atrocious. You couldn't be in your room at all for the entire day, and it also started earlier than they said. I honestly don't think they should be renting rooms out, at least not at that price, while this is going on. The dorm bed (in a 10 person dorm) cost me $100 per night, which is absolutely insane given none of the facilities were available (no common areas at all) and there was constant noise to the point you couldn't use the room except to sleep. That's the most I've ever paid for a dorm bed in my life, and I have stayed in a lot of dorms. Would also suggest some lockers in the dorms - there was nowhere to put valuables or even anywhere to store bags, which was unusual.
I feel so conflicted about this review! On the one hand the dorm was good - curtains on the beds, plugs, fans and lights by the beds, nice height between lower and upper bunk so you can sit up properly. Location was good and staff were lovely. Very clean. Even little toiletries in the bathroom, which is unusual for a hostel. However, this was all overshadowed by the construction noise. I hadn't realised this was happening when I booked, and later saw that it was going to be from 9-5 everyday. It wasn't, it was 8-5, and it wasn't just a bit of hammering and sawing, it was jackhammers drilling up concrete alllll day. This also meant there was no kitchen, which I also hadn't realised when booking. I would have been happier with the stay if the price was at least half of what it was and there was more notice about the construction, and that they actually stuck to the times they were meant to be working.
