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):
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.).

BulgariaThe beds were very squeaky. And there was no shampoo or soap in the shower. However there were lots of old and already used remains of bars of soap in the showers. Which was a bit unpleasant
The check-in process was very easy, and the property made sure we were familiar with their system. We really appreciated that we didn’t have to wait at a reception or deal with any unnecessary formalities.

RomaniaThe communication with the staff is entirely dependent on Whatsapp; there is one phone number that people take turns to respond to. Therefore, there is no reception desk to which you can always go to in case you need something. It's not a dealbreaker, but it can be a bit cumbersome.
The hostel is well-connected with Vienna and its urban area, thanks to the S-Bahn stop 200 m away from the location. The room was great, I loved the huge window and balcony and everything was very quiet.

GermanyHowever, we were quite disappointed by the so-called kitchen in the apartment. While it looks nice at first glance, it’s not functional at all. There are decorative kitchen elements and furniture, but no stove, no toaster, and no real cooking area. There’s only a capsule coffee machine (without any capsules provided), a kettle, a fridge, and some very basic dishes. So, technically, it’s not a usable kitchen. You can cook in the shared kitchen two floors down, which is well-equipped—but then what’s the point of having a "kitchen" in the apartment? Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially thanks to the design, cleanliness, and responsive host—but the kitchen setup was misleading and disappointing.
We stayed in a holiday apartment that was part of the hostel and were really impressed with the modern, stylish interior. Everything was clean, new, and felt high-quality. Even though there was no staff on-site, communication with the host was fast, smooth, and very professional. When we reported a leak in the washing machine via WhatsApp, it was fixed immediately—great service! The location is also convenient: about 15–20 minutes by car to the city center. A big plus: dogs are welcome, which we really appreciated. Also, on weekends, there’s free parking available in the surrounding side streets, which made things much easier for us.

SloveniaIn the booking description it states that they offer free parking and when i booked it I messaged them that we will be coming by car and will need a parking spot. A few days before our arrival they massaged me that they don't have any free spots anymore. We only chose this accommodation because they had free parking spots and also they were pricier because of that. Also the apartment had a bit of a not well ventilated smell, and the couch was a bit too small and very uncomfortable. The bed had old sheet or they were washed badly because there was hair and stains on the bedding. Also we didn't get any capsules for the coffee but the machine was there. Another problem that we had was that there was only one towel for a person and we stayed for 2 nights. I can't dry my face with the towel I dried my body and feet.
Check-in was at the time we arrived and got the codes for the main door and apartment, so we don't need to have in-person contact with the owner.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of our twin room, and the fact that we had an accessible balcony. The building and the rooms look modern and neat. Overall great value for the price.
