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 StatesI received great hospitality. My late arrival was warmly accepted. The Dungan style meals are very filling, and perhaps the best breakfast that I've received in recent memory from any guest house. The room was comfortably equipped, and I was able to get some work done at a provided desk with strong wifi. Lastly, the host helped arrange a ride for me to visit the animal market on Sunday, which was an interesting cultural event.

EstoniaIf you think, what place to choose in Karakol for accommodation, take this one. It's run by Dunkan (originally from China) family and their hosting is really a class. Unfortunately, you need to manage Russian (what I do). Anyway, their breakfast is something itself. There is nothing luxury and it was pretty cold in a room but the heater was organised. Wifi was strong and there are marshrutkas nearby (200 m) to bus station.

SpainNoisy guests, looks like theres people living there not tourists or travelers, they wake up early, talk at 5am and makes complicated to have a proper rest.
Amazing breakfast. Rooms are ok.

GermanyThe rooms are in beautiful old building with ornate wooden construction. The showerhead was certainly the best I've used in the region, and possibly ever. Absolutely massive breakfast portions -- I'm sure this depends on the day, but what we were served as just sides to the breakfast was more than the entirety of the breakfast served at other guesthouses. The let me store my bike there while I went to Bishkek for a few days free of cost.

United StatesI loved it here. The couple that owns it are so sweet. I managed to get pretty far with my terrible Russian and chit-chated with them. The room was really nice. Big bathroom. And oh my gosh, the breakfast was MASSIVE. Really huge. Sometimes I just couldn't even finish it because they gave me so much! A great place as a base for some hiking.

GermanyWe really enjoyed our stay at Hostel Ilbris. The owner was very friendly. Because of the weather we were not sure if it is possible to hike to the Ala Kul Lake, his brother gave us all the necessary information and even called us to make sure that we are safe because of the snow. It was also no problem to leave our luggage for one night. The room as well as the shared bathroom was clean and comfortable. The traditional breakfast was nice and more than enough. We felt very welcome! :)

The hostel is ran by a lovely family. The mom will make sure all facilities are ready for you and next day she will prepare a delicious breakfast. She can also prepare lunch and dinner at your request. They have a small garden, where you can pick the fruit you like! She prepares good jam with the strawberries from her garden. Her son speaks English and will solve any problem or if you have any question. They have a free private parking but you can also park outside (it’s safe). Cannot ask for more! Thank you.
