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 KingdomRooms weren’t very private as the window looked out onto the hallways. Location was further out than we thought and it was quite a long walk to the markets and from where the bus dropped us off.
Nice place to stay if you are visiting Vientiane, the rooms were basic and the cafe downstairs was very nice.

SpainThe bathrooms weren’t that clean.
The room wasn’t really big, so it was a bit messy with the backpacks because many couldn’t fit in the lockers. However, the bed was really comfortable. The cafe downstairs is really nice and the food isn’t that pricey. The people working there were very nice.

ItalyThe 6-bed dorm I was staying in was very small and the lockers cannot fit normal backpacks (50-70L), so all the bags end up staying on the floor occupying most of it. Also on my floor there were 2 showers and 2 toilets for ~18 people and it resulted in a queue in the morning. There is not much socialization as the shared areas (cafe) are also for people visiting the cafe.
Beds are really comfy, delicious breakfast, nice backyard garden and cafe. The staff was helpful and kept one of our bags for storage while we traveled in Laos.

SpainIt lacks a backpacking vibe. For a solo traveller it's hard to connect. The staff is super polite, but that's it. No info or recommendations given, no activities organised or if they do they are not advised.
Facilities are new and clean and location is central. The bar /cafe is very nice. Breakfast included was delicious and the staff is polite.

ItalyProbably the best sleep we had since we started our trip to South East Asia. Beds and pillows are comfortable!! The AC works well and it's quiet, the room was big enough and clean, same as the bathroom. Food at the hostel is good, good options for breakfast too. The staff are always smiling and helpful. A little walk from the main road, but pleasing.

United KingdomHotel was in a good location for walking and seeing the sights. Breakfast was good- they even packaged us one up before they started properly serving to take with us on the train. The English of the staff was spot on. They printed off our visas for our next destination which was really helpful. Very modern and perfectly clean. The coffee shop downstairs was really nice too!
