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 KingdomA decent spot to stay on the edge of town near the lake. A bit of a walk from the centre, but relatively peaceful. Small rooms, fairly functional, shared bathrooms are alright. Kitchen area is reasonable. WiFi is a bit temperamental. As with most places in the town, it's overpriced for what you get but on par with the higher tourist rates in the area. Staff are generally welcoming and helpful, can be a little pushy with booking tours through them which can easily be arranged independently if you wish.

SingaporeThe main area (where everyone cooks/ have their meals etc) was very noisy even after official lights out, the rooms itself felt very squeezy and there were lots of unofficial movement around the rooms/ hostel as to where or who were staying (felt like the place was overbooked).
The main area (where folks could chill & interact) was really beautiful and has a nice view of the lake in front.

United KingdomMissing some things in the kitchen - had very few plates/bowls/mugs etc. for the number of guests. One wall in our room had a gap at the top which meant we could hear everything in the room next door. They allow check-in throughout the night which for us meant people checking into our room at 2:30am and staying up/making noise until 4:30am... this isn't just the fault of the hostel clearly.
Great location with lake views from the kitchen/dining room. It's right next to the nature reserve which means it's peaceful, also not too far from the town centre to walk. Two really light and well decorated communal spaces to sit and eat. Bathrooms are good size, showers have hot water and high pressure. Staff are very friendly, helpful and keep things very clean - thank you so much to them.

United KingdomWe could constantly smell gas, which is actually dangerous. Even on check in the room smelt of gas. The shower ran out of hot water in less than 2 minutes - I had only just got shampoo in my hair. When you pay for a private bathroom this isnt acceptable. The shower was also a wet room which wasnt pleasant. There was a lack of space, it would cost very little money to resolve this by simply adding some shelves and cupboards (which there were none). No oil or basic condiments - this is my 13th hostel in Central/ South America, and the only one where I've found this for the price is not acceptable. There was a lack of pans/utensils in our kitchen so we had to take then from the shared kitchen, which there wasnt many either. There was no storage for clothes either. The 3 coat hooks we had fell down with only 2 coats on them. When asked to be shown other rooms it took the host 10 hours to speak to us. When we asked for information, the focus was trying to sell us tours for other activities we hadnt asked about.
The hostel was by the laguna.

United StatesWe stayed here for a few days in one of the private rooms with our own bathroom. The host, Lucy, came and spoke with us upon our arrival about all the things we could do while we were in town. The room wasn't super comfortable, but we weren't spending a ton of time unless we were sleeping :)

DenmarkThe shower was really bad and the room was small. If you want to pay by card, they will add a fee of 15% of the amount, so the stay ended up being more expensive than What I had planned.
Nice location, Lucy (the owners daughter) was very kind and helpful booking transfer from the airport and to the glacier!

GermanyWhat you don't know when booking: the apartment is dark and has concrete ceilings like in a basement, especially the sleeping room which is not shown in the pictures. The beds are veery basic. We would have been ok with that but the bed linen seemed to be used (there where stains) which is not acceptable. The booking is in USD and you can only pay in cash. For the payment in Pesos they use their own exchange rate which they call "official" but has nothing to do with the official rate. So keep in mind the price will be higher than you expect according to the price in the booking.
The staff gave us some recommendations for Restaurants.
