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.).

United KingdomThe bed wasn't comfortable and the bathroom wasn't great. Furniture was just really cheap and for the price I would have expected a little better. It was ok but I don't think I'd stay there again unless nothing else was available.
The member of staff I met was friendly, I only saw that one person. The location is great.

RomaniaThe downside was that due to poor sound insulation there were noises coming in for many hours: during the day there were the washing machines, from early morning till late at night some trashy music was coming from a nearby fitness club [quite weak but audible]. One night there was some party nearby with a lot of noisy people coming out in the inner courtyard - I woke up at 2AM wiht the feeleing I was in the market square at rush hour. People coming and going even at night can be heard at times. All this can be solved with a good set of earplugs.
I like staying there for the location and the price. But it's kind of "you get what you pay for", so it is very sparsely furnished. This time I found out they had extended with some new rooms [I got one], facing the inner courtyard. This meant less street noise, but the sound is like the rest, very poor, so other noises come in. The matteress was also better and provided better sleep support. The staff is very nice [despite very limited English] and allowed me to get in much earlier. During my stay there was a steep drop in outer temperature [one day 27 Celcius, the next only 7, during the day, going to 3-4 at night] and they started offfering some heating, although only for a few hours. For the rest of the good and not so good things you can find more in my previous reviews.

TurkeyCould be better if they have more things for kitchen and bathroom. There was no slipper for example. The quality of towels very poor. They definitely need to do something about cleanliness of the hotel overall.
Very good location! Near all major places. Easy to access. Just need to improve cleanliness and kitches facilities. The staff was very good. There was many people so it was not noisy. You can easily go to Dabune shore and night-life. So it was realyl nice!

RomaniaDownsides: the place was made by parting a larger space into smaller rooms with walls made of panes that provide no sound insulation, one can hear just about anything happening around. The windows are vintage and provide little protection from noise and cold; it can be very noisy due to street traffic around. The rooms are very scarcely furnished, with only the bare necessities and those are of the basest Ikea quality. Being at ground floor and having a tall building opposite, there is little natural light. The mattresses are already used up and not very comfortable. The heating is scarce, only a few hours a day, so the temerature inside is quite low in the cold season. There is no air conditioning, so it can be hot in the summer. The cleaning is made only between stays. The duvets are small and thin, there are no spares. Very small towels. A double room fits best as a single; 2 people may have difficulties in staying there.
Best asset - location, easy reachable from the airport with bus 100E (directly), close to many lines of public transport, having nearby many places to eat, several services and shopping facilities. Located at the ground floor. There is parking space in front, but finding a place may be difficult. There is a common space with cooking facilities and a fridge. The price is fair - there are many other places with similar conditions at higher prices.

FranceThe only inconvenience is that there is no sound insulation. We were upstairs, you could hear the comings and goings of everyone in the hostel. Same for the people downstairs in the shared room or the next-door bedroom. Most people were respectful about the noise after 11 pm. So if you are a sound sleeper like me, you can cope with it but if not I recommend somewhere else.
Hobar is located in a quiet street. Less than 10min by foot from the Central Market Hall and 5min from metro M3 and M4/tram/bus. Perfect location. The place was really clean. The room was small but cozy. There is a functional kitchen with a few tables available for everyone. As a chilly person, I was quite happy with the heating. The host was really friendly and nice.
