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 reviewFriendly staff, clean, nice common area with a kitchen.
It was really hot during my stay. Be aware that it's an attic apartment with no AC. It'll get hot in the summer. They had a fan in the room, but it can only do so much.

Verified reviewGreat staff and good room. The place is really big and everyone is nice. It is in the middle of the city center, so that was really good.

Verified reviewIt is extremely clean. Everything is clean. The toilet is always clean, haven't seen it dirty not a single time. Living room and common room also clean. When a place is that clean, ppl feel ashamed if they don't clean their things back. If a place is dirty, nobody is gonna care about cleaning. The place is super quiet, everyone is super respectful. Around 20 beds but it has 2 toilets and 2 showers, separated, so won't find any queue for shower There's a guy who works there, he does the check in and clean. Very nice guy. Surprisingly, he was always there. At lunchtime he was there, and sometimes I was coming back late at night (2-3 am) and he was there also. He's always working at his computer in the reception. Idk when he sleeps (if he does), but if you ever have a problem I'm sure he can manage it Also it's just in the city centre, 2 minutes walk from everything (tho in Brno everything is close)
It's a perfect place. Just maybe too perfect. Too quiet (I'm Spanish and maybe a little bit noisy). Also the price, little bit expensive for a hostel, I travelled for 2 weeks and was the most expensive place I was in

Verified reviewIt is not a big establishment so it was a nice change. Felt like a big house with access to a kitchen, laundry facilities if needed and quiet. The front desk person was helpful and friendly. Great location, close to supermarkets if you need to stock up on groceries.
Lights... they are set pretty low in the common area so it was a bit hard to read at night.

Verified reviewCentral, small but cozy place close to the bus station. You can grab their hairdryer and other stuff for free! Decent place to sleep if you are in the city.
A weird thing was that just outside of my room there was a guy sleeping on a couch, that felt sketchy. Was not a problem for me, but as I said, weird. Thought maybe he was a friend of hostel personnel who needed a place to sleep…

Verified reviewLocation (very close to the old town and to the main statin), price.
Because of a refurbisment, there was no bathroom and toilet in my level, people had to use another level. Check in was a bit complicated, because I got a wrong code for the door, so I had to knock. Another guest let me in.
