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.).

MalaysiaWe had toilet flash problem in our room, but we could be solved easily.
The lady was nice and friendly. They were able to check us in at 4 am and had room availability for us to stay much longer than we intended. Great value considering the location of the Hostal, super convenient, close to eateries, shops and bars. They also cleaned the room, changed the towels and gave extra tissue papers even without us requesting any. Decent WiFi, kitchen facilities for us to make coffee, and a comfortable smoking area- which many places don’t usually have. Last but not least, they have sweet pugs and cute cats on the property, perfect for travellers who are missing their fur babies.

The hotel is well located. The room was quite good. We rented bicycles and had a nice trip to the waterfalls. The hot springs are situated a 10 minutes walk. The staff was kind. Also, it was the first hotel during our trip to South America which had a perfect hot shower with good pressure.

PolandThere isn't really a fully equipped kitchen if you plan to prepare your own meals. I didn't like that dogs were in the kitchen area because it wasn't very hygienic for me. In general, it could be more clean. No wardrobe in the room to put your clothes in.
The owner is very helpful and very well informed person. She had an answer to each of our questions and booked for us a one day tour to Puyo. Pancakes for the breakfast were delicious! Hostel location is perfect. Hot water in the bathroom available all the time. Safe place.

IrelandLittle run down compared to other places we stayed 8+ Pillows could be a little better, fairly thin Kitchen was probably the worst we had seen in the 9 months of travel so far, didnt use it for this reason Also, just something I personally dont like is having people in the room while out, but felt odd they came into the room while we were out just to drop in toilet roll which could have been left beside the door. Dont like giving bad reviews and is one of the few we have given while traveling but felt it wasnt great
Good location close to town centre, good value for money, owners were nice and had very good english

United KingdomRoom was a bit run down and our bathroom door didn’t shut from the outside meaning we could hear our neighbours very clearly when they were in their bathroom! But wouldn’t put us off staying again as we did have a great stay!
The location was great - we could walk to everything we wanted to see in the town. Towels were refreshed daily. The shower was really nice and lovely hot water.

CanadaRoom, though clean, is very basic. Breakfast if for more than a day or two would be pretty repetitive. The room didn't seem very secure, though we had no problems.
Location is very good, breakfast is adequate. Room was clean. Was quite good for the price. Good hot water in the shower. The owner got back to me after to correct a payment error, which was appreciated and unexpected.

United KingdomThe two staff members we met were rather unfriendly and abrupt so for us the hostel didn't have a very warm atmosphere! Also, we were there for just 2 nights but on the second day someone entered our room to leave new towels, which was intrusive and unnecessary- the policies should state the cleaning arrangements so we can opt out. The room was fine for what we paid but thin walls so quite noisy without wearing earplugs.
The hostel was clean, the room was comfortable enough, the kitchen was basic but had nearly everything we needed.
