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.).

United StatesWhile they do give you a towel, there isn't any soap or shampoo in the shared bathrooms, which we hadn't realized. There aren't private bathrooms here, as far as we could tell.
This is in a perfect neighborhood. It's extremely beautiful outside, with views onto the water and some of the islands. And it's about a block from a supermarket, though right by the hotel it's pretty empty outside. For Tofino in the summertime, the price was pretty good.

Everything was cleaned daily to perfection. One of the best places we have stayed in. . Valerie and Michael

AustraliaSome challenges with parking. The park that we had been allocated the next day had someone else parked there, so we had to park in the disabled car park overnight, as per staff directions.
Efficient staff.

AustraliaParking is a bit of a nightmare. A 5pm check-in, 10am check-out and paid parking is pretty steep for the price. The shower / bathrooms didn't feel very clean considering the cost and limited time you actually have for you booking.
The view from the main lounge / dining area is amazing. The place has a nice 'renovated beach house' charm and is in a great location for restaurants and activities.

GermanyThis was honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The atmosphere was super welcoming and it was so easy to meet people – perfect for solo travelers. The staff were incredibly kind and always happy to help with recommendations or just have a chat. The location was ideal, close to everything I needed, and the hostel itself was clean, cozy, and had a great vibe. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were always clean, and the common areas had a really chill energy. I also appreciated the small details – lockers, good Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped kitchen.

CanadaThe price for a dorm bed was very high. Booking the room was complicated because of discrepancies with booking.com that got the date wrong. It was stressful to sort out as I had nowhere else to go the day I arrived.
Loved the location, the kitchen, the spaces for living room and dining room.

CanadaThe dorms arent really backpacker friendly. First, people come in the room with their outside shoes, as there is no shoe policy of any kind so the carpet gets all dirty. I would not walk barefoot there. Also, there is no privacy curtain or wall charger for the upper bunk, so you have to ask the stranger under you to charge your phone at night. Last and not least, there is not a single hook in the room, so you can’t hang any towel. It has to hang from the bunk and touch the bed under you… Finally, the big light of the hallway stays on at night and there is no night light so everytime someone opens the door, everyone gets waken up. Hook, lights and curtains aren’t expensive and would make the stay more convenient.
The location was good, the living room and kitchen were very pleasant and the ambiance was calm and nice. The toilets and common area were generally clean.
