Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWater bottle was not provided in room neither do they allow us to buy at reception. If arriving late please get the water bottle or if normal day time then there are lots of local shop next to Hotel to buy water.
Property is centrally located and you can visit all tourist attractions by walk. It’s around 15-20 min walk from all major attractions. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Absolute value for money.

ArgentinaThe staff weren't super helpful when it came to questions but it seemed for lack of knowledge, they were friendly though. The younger vibe could be a turn down for some who are looking for a more mature crowd.
Great place, staff was friendly enoughl, the room was a great value for the price and the nice little balcony was cool though the view is basically of other buildings. There was a great rooftop bar, the vibe generally seemed to be on the younger side (18-21). Cheap breakfast which had the basics, coffee and juice which was great

United States of AmericaThe rooftop has spectacular views and lots of sun, but only hard steel stools. A few comfy couches or sun loungers for those of us that like to sit in the sun and read or just hang, would be a huge plus.
I almost did not stay here because several reviewers thought it was a rough neighborhood. It is not. It is a working-class neighborhood with local, non-tourist oriented shops and cheap restaurants. For me, this was very authentic Athens.

GermanyThe street where the hostel is located is not the best. Although we didn’t feel particularly unsafe, the walk there wasn’t always pleasant.
Very friendly staff, clean and organised, with a nice rooftop overlooking the city, and 5 mins walk from Monastiraki, which was very convenient.

United KingdomSurrounding area of the Hostel was a little disappointing as it was not very clean, however this is not the fault of the Hostel.
Hostel is great ,clean and has a fantastic view from the bar. Guys at reception are very friendly and helpful. Thanks to the receptionist's brilliant recommendation our stay was better then expected. It is also very central and most of the amenities are within walking distance.

SwitzerlandThe location is central but in a neighborhood with empty properties and dubious people walking around. I didn't feel very safe at night outside. Breakfast was rather okay with some boiled eggs and some fruit being highlights ... But okay value for money given the 5 EUR they charged.
I was surprised who clean and tidy my single bedroom was, with daily fresh towels included. There's some graffiti in the lift though, which staff could remove at some point. Staff seemed friendly and relatively helpful. They could have given a bit more information on things outside immediate duties when I prompetd, like how to book online tickets for sights like the Acropolis etc.

United KingdomI appreciate that maintenance needs to be done but it was a little bit irritating having decorators splashing paint in the lounge and stairway maybe they could do the works during the off season. Location isn’t great just be vigilant walking about at night.
