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.).

GermanyIt was noisy to sleep because of the cars - when you open the window, you look out onto the road. (Overall, this is not a problem when you have your own earplugs.) There is a shared kitchen with a shared refrigerator and stove. Shared toilet and shower. The vintage fan was covered in vintage dust.
The rooms are creatively decorated and very original. The price was the cheapest possible option for accommodation not far from the centre. The three of us stayed in a room with three beds. The location is convenient. Clean bed and clean towels.

United KingdomAs there are no toilets in bedrooms, all guests use a communal toilet on each floor and my bedroom was right next to it - it made for disturbed sleep with the door banging open and shut.
The Keep was right by the river and a very easy walk both into town and to the train station. The room was quirky and fun and I liked the eco elements. The kitchen was small but well equipped and very clean.

SpainNo reception. Locker room only available until 14.30, as that is the time when your code expires. We were travelling by train on the afternoon of our check out day so we could not leave our luggage there and we had to pay extra in another hotel to keep our luggage. Hot during summer. There is a fan but not enough.
The bedrooms are very cool with the wooden design. Location is between the train station and the city center, so quite good as well if tou are travelling by train.

United KingdomThe building is right next to a railway line and a busy road. In hot weather we needed the windows open to stay comfortable (no air con) and this made the room extremely noisy. Sleep was not easy. A hen party were also in residence and they were chatting loudly till 2 am in the outdoor space right outside of our window. This isn’t the hotels fault of course. We also booked a family room with a shower but what was not clear was that there was no toilet in the room - this was down the corridor. It may have been in the small print somewhere but should have been clearer. The place has the feel of a hostel rather than a hotel.
Good location, great communication beforehand, very responsive. Room was quirky and spacious. Nice relaxed vibe.

GermanyIt can be tricky at night because it is so close to the road and it is not difficult to be disturbed by the noise of cars and trains.
The location is great, close to the main railway station and the bus stop that leads to the old town, where most of the attractions are located. The supermarket is also nearby.

The ethos of the hostel was brilliant and the room size was really good. We had a room with a shower which made it really convenient. Loved the fact there was a washer and dryer at the hostel meaning I could sort out my clothes for the next leg of my trip. Kitchen was clean and tidy.

United KingdomNot 100% clean but again not awful or uncomfortable - but room for improvement. As there are no staff at reception or anywhere at the property, if we were to encounter any issues I would worry how to resolve them?
Loved the unique theme of the room and treehouse style bunk beds. Location was good - approx 10 min walk into the centre and close to supermarkets. Kitchen and washing facilities available.

IrelandRoom was small. One uncomfortable chair for 2 people. WiFi was mostly poor with only one able to access it at a time. Breakfast (not included) seemed rather expensive and considering size of room and lack of comfort I consider the price was exhorbitant.
The location was superb, easy to locate beside the river, walking distance of old city and beside an excellent bakery. Check-in was very easy and storage most useful.

TaiwanI only found two hair dryer in the building, though I didn't really need to wait. I wish there will be mats in the room so I can get my feet dry after a shower.
The location was good, easy to get to the attractions. The bathrooms were always clean. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything a traveller might need (a freezer added will make it perfect).
