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.).

JapanThe staff was a little bit indifferent. The space in the room was very small with hardly any communal seating or tables.
Named after a character in a famous movie, very special hostel. Very close to the station. Clean and tidy, beds are already made. There is a bar downstairs to chill and the music played was great.

United StatesThe room is not sound-proofed at all so we could hear everything from the hallway and from the guests next door. There was a large group of tourists staying at the inn while we were there, and we were rudely woken up by their loud voices and banging of doors as they headed out early in the morning. I wish the inn had signs to inform other travelers to be mindful of noise and/or set quiet hours.
The location was convenient and it served our needs for a place to stay for one night. The room was small and had little space to open up two suitcases.

AustraliaSensitive sleepers will have sound issues with thin-walls and street-sounds, so bring your earplugs.
Good value. Great little hostel directly across from the train station. The bar/lounge downstairs has a swanky atmosphere, with vinyl spinning in dim-lit bar, with pasta dishes cooked by the owner (Yuichi), and local craft beers available. Great for a chillout after a long day. Cosy and humble. Private room comes with kettle, and tea/coffee acoutrement.

AustraliaMy only warning to guests would be to wear earplugs if you are a light sleeper or want to sleep in past 8am. Since it is near a main road, you might hear some noise from traffic lights, cars and people in the morning.
We were given free parking that was provided behind the accommodation. The area was clean and showers were fantastic. Bed was very comfortable and firm. Was very handy to have a washing machine and dryer to use (only a few hundred yen to be paid to the staff). The location is great. Right next to the train station and the information centre where you can hire e-bikes for the day!
