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 KingdomWe asked what is happening with the shared toilet if we need a key for it because it looked busy at all times and the owner said no.After 1 hour of waiting asked again and he came to say where is the key for it and unlocking it . I do not really understand why you would lock a shared toilet ? There is no need for TV , but please buy some hangers, are cheap, and make a difference to your guests, without leaving all the clothes on the floor.
The room and toilet were clean. The location is great.The common areas are interesting and beautiful but not feeling welcome to use them . It looks more like a museum than a shared space. We definitely wouldn't stay here again, not for so long.

EgyptThere is a kitchen, but guests are not allowed to use it. Although there is a great communal space, it is very lacking in atmosphere. The staff live there and don't seem to like having guests. We felt quite unwelcome at times. The day we arrived our bus was delayed and I emailed the properly to let them know. They replied that if we didn't arrive by midnight, that we would have to wait until 8am to check in because no staff would be available. We managed to make it just in time, but you can imagine how much stress that caused. Then it turned out that they live there anyway.
Great location, minutes away from everything. Really clean and comfortable facilities. At some point, someone has obviously taken a lot of care to decorate the hostel.

ColombiaThe staff were very cold and relatively unfriendly, think of a 70's horror film when you a welcomed with a cold errie feeling of negativitity.. This is not the place for people who like to watch the TV; you can hear a pin drop. If you want the quietists place you can find where everything is shush, hush hush then this is for you.
This was a clean place, well located in a good location with a comfortable bed. Lots of good decor to look at.

NetherlandsWhere to start. Let's just begin with what matters the most: the room and and bathroom. The room we were given had only two very small windows that opened onto a closed indoor courtyard. In other words, no ventilation is possible and it stays hot and humid in your room 24/7. The beds are covered in plastic and make loud a loud creaky noise with even the smallest of movement (don't even think about getting a good night's sleep here if some other people need to go the bathroom at night). The bathroom was dirty at times and the showers are cold (the host told us it would be one morning but it ended up being the entire 3 days we stayed). The hosts themselves are unfriendly. We had a little kerfuffle one night when we arrived at the hostel while some other guests were just walking in. Thinking we could walk in behind them we were rather surprised to be called criminals by them as they threw the door shut in our face. Some bad words were exchanged and we were ready to just get it over with. However, the Karen boomers decided to talk to the manager and the next morning she came to us on high heels proclaiming we should respect the other guests without even trying to ask us what happened. Note to the hosts: just because some people have managed to live to 60 does not give them to right to treat everyone like trash while demanding respect in turn. The fact that you do not even consider to ask us what happened makes you terrible and disrespectful hosts. This was just the final straw of a consistently terrible hotel experience.
Nice decorations.
