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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsThe location was good but it’s around a 5-10 min walk from the so called boulevard and beaches. Also I travel by myself and in the beginning I was a bit afraid to have the walks home in the evenings. Luckily it wasn’t necessary I noticed after a few days, but it’s good to know.
the room was big enough and the beds were a bit hard but I like that. The staff was very friendly. Lucia was great to me! I went in the low season. In my case it meant that I had the room for myself. Luckily I met some people around and had a great time.

FranceI booked, had my confirmation. I hoped that I could let my stuff on the hostel before the check in because I arrived around 8am. The localization was not good, I took Time to find the place. There was nobody inside, but a Key box with a code on the wall. So I guessed it was the way to enter liké it's happened sometimes on Booking. I never knew, because I had only one message of the owner who Ask when I was supposed to arrive. For sure he don't readed mine because I told that I was there and asking how to enter. It was difficult to communicate because I used wifi, but send several messages by Booking, try to call by what's app thé number they give on Booking and on the Doors, even try with another one that give me a neigbor. Finaly I decided to canceled the hostel for another one. I had news two days later, the owner was sorry but hé was in Portugal. Don't go there!
Nothing I've not be there...

Czech RepublicWe arrived late, so we arranged a taxi with the hostel. The driver got drunk (their words) and never showed up. So we ended up taking another taxi and got their much later. At arrival, we called the number and had to wait another 30+ minutes until someone opened the door for us. Disappointing, considering they knew we were going to be arriving late anyway. Also, the showers and water taps in the bathrooms were BOILING hot. It was actually kind of dangerous if you weren’t ready for it. Totally unusable.
The rooms were modern and the beds were comfortable. Good location as well, near some local restaurants and a few minutes walking to the beach.
