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 reviewI liked how it was a quiet location, and that a CircleK was nearby!
It is not the staff's fault, but they didn't have hot water during my stay because of the construction in the building. At least the staff posted notices, of the lack of hot water, everywhere, so the guests knew about it.

Verified reviewSimple dorm rooms with very firm beds, which I like. There is no air conditioning but we asked for fans at the reception desk, which were promptly provided at no charge. The fans made the rooms more comfortable, though still pretty warm during our early July two-night stay. Refrigerators and stoves are in a common area, but I could locate no microwaves.
Microwaves would be a good addition.

Verified reviewThe room had a nice layout and was quiet. The bathroom of the accessible room had a wide door, and good accessibility options.
I am a wheelchair user and got an accessible room. The bed was not made when I arrived - I had to make it myself. Which is challenging in a chair. The shower does have a seat, but the shower head and controls are very very far away from that seat, and there is no-where to place one's soap. Some of the building has good accessibility, but the door to the room itself is narrow and very heavy to open, which was a major challenge for me. Also, there is no air conditioning and the room did get quite warm despite keeping the window open.

Verified reviewThe staff at the counter was highly un-professional and terrible
The beds weren't at all comfortable. No prope kitchen space, availability of no utensils in the kitchen to warm up the food is a bare minumum, that should ad been there, at least.

Verified reviewQuiet.
It would have helped to have the street number posted on a highly visible location near the building name. It was difficult to explain to the taxi driver where the place was without a street number to refer to easily.

Verified reviewIt's a basic room with a very large wheel-chair friendly bathroom access. A couple of tv rooms on my 5th floor. A kitchen with two large cookers , freezers and refridgeraters and a microwave on my 5th floor. A laundry room on my 5th floor. Window opens to let in the breeze.
Nothing really .
