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.).

New ZealandThe backpackers (probably long term ones) that stays there are inconsiderate and parties in their room, run around in the hallways into the late nights (walls are thin), knocks vigorously at doors and it disrupts the other people who are trying to sleep.

FinlandThe kitchen is relatively well equipped, but the stoves are getting old and would need fixing/replacing, as about half of the burners do not work anymore. This can lead to a bit of queuing when many people are cooking at the same time.
Conveniently located in the city centre. The bedroom and private bathroom were clean and in good condition.

United KingdomI would say the staff could be a bit more understanding and helpful. There was a bit of a sense of a “school teacher” vibe with them, strict rules with NO alcohol after 8 (I’m 30, I can have a beer after work), no food in the room and didn’t let me back up stairs to the kitchen after checkout (not even for a cup of my own tea!). I think it was due to the guests being more on the younger side, that said you feel private in your own room.
The room was comfy, I had a separate room so can’t comment on the dorms, although they looked tidy when I walked past. The free breakfast was good, I didn’t have any as I had my own to get through. Also had free look but didn’t have time to make use of that (gutted)

Australiafridge could have been a little more "organized" and fresher. Can understand why not but not drinking tea in rooms was very hard. No teapot )-: (used a saucepan) Light activation for the bathroom was so so.
the location very central to most tourist enterprises. The most annoying part of the city was the parking. And for the ON TOP backpackers but you did have parking from6 pm until 9 am. Also little known back entrance/exit that eliminated the use of carrying a heavy suitcase the distance. The kitchen was clean but the fridge could have been a little more "organized" and fresher.
