How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGreat location in the city centre with close proximity to cafe's, restaurants and culture. The room was also very clean and well maintained. Each bed had its own light, fan and plug socket.
The bed wasn't the most comfortable. The locked assigned to my bed was broken.

Verified reviewVery well located and pleasant place to stay.
The check-in is a nightmare. There was no paper toilets. Also when you stay couple days the cleaning lady doesn’t touch your bed which I think it’s a minimum when you pay full price. Before leaving, I met the cleaning lady, a nice person who apologized. Good mindset 😁

Verified reviewI like the location. It's very near the major shopping and eating places. The attractions are just a few minutes walk. It's a short walk to the metro station. The beds are fresh and the bathrooms are clean with strong water pressure. The buffet breakfast was lovely.

No hot water, reception was unattended the majority of the day - meaning no access to towels or padlocks when checking in, filthy filthy filthy.

Verified reviewThe hostel is centrally located. Although the building is old, the interior has been renovated
Before checking in, I contacted the facility and requested a lower bunk due to health issues. However, they asked for an extra €30. There was actually a lower bunk available in the room, and it remained empty for two days. Still, they said that if I switched beds without their permission, I would be fined. Another major issue with the hostel — and in my opinion, the most important one — was that there was no staff at the reception during the three days I stayed. Guests had to enter the hostel following self-check-in instructions sent beforehand. Anyone who forgot their key card in their room experienced a lot of stress. There was no one available to help in case of any problem. If someone lost their card or got stuck in the elevator, it was extremely difficult to notify anyone. Signs threatening fines were posted all over the hostel — for smoking, damaging the card, triggering the fire alarm, etc. But honestly, if there were an actual fire, no one would even know. There are definitely more honest and responsible people running better places. Keep looking.
