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.).

New ZealandThere is no soundproofing. Staff don't care about people being loud even though we asked for help with it.. We were kept up one night from people yelling in another room and also filling the hallway up with smoke, there is supposedly a fine for smoking. We were woken several times each night and early morning from people in the hallways. The ac is controlled so you can't set it to colder or stronger. The blanket sheet is not big enough for 2 people in bed.
Looks like photos. Its very clean! And cleaners are cleaning everyday. Our room, 101 had a big nice balcony. Its shared bathroom but we were glad to have a private sink in the room for brushing teeth. We were lucky to have no bed bugs in ours, unlike what other reviews have said. We checked many spots too.

FranceMy roommates had clearly not been made aware of how to act politely in a dorm. One of them had his phone on ringing mode and took two phone calls very loudly from the room at around midnight when a few people were already sleeping. Another woke up at 5 am and started playing candy crush
The staff was nice and the location was ideal, it was overall clean.

PolandFirstly, the walls are pretty thin and we could hear our neighbours being loud all night. Secondly, we couldn't change the temperature on the ac and we could only choose between 21 degrees cold or 27 warm air. Lastly, despite the explanation I still do not understand why we had to leave the only key to the room we had at the reception. No one touched our things but it was still a little odd and worrying.
I liked the location which is within a walking distance from Acropolis. I think that for the price the hotel was quite good. It wasn't dirty (except for the shared bathrooms but they're passable) and there was a decent breakfast included. The beds weren't the most comfortable but the sheets were clean. If you're short of money or want to save on a hotel in Athens and you're willing to give up some comfort this is a place for you.

MexicoThe mattress had bed-bugs in it that made our next days a living hell! This mattress should be burned. This was 3 weeks ago and the bite-marks are still visible. The itching was terrible. We took medicines and creams to fight the reaction and the itching. Skin blisters about 1" diameter, red, pointy, and just not fun to start a vacation like this. Also, there is some kind of a construction project in the building, so noise starts pretty early in the morning. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable, always happy to help!

United KingdomMy stay was ruined due to the awful internet situation. I messaged in advance advising that I was a digital nomad and needed really good internet to work online. Instead of being honest and telling me it was slow and intermittent at best, they assured me the internet was very good. It wasn't! And I lost money as a result of the poor quality and regular reboots. This was the only negative aspect of my stay.
Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, as were the shared toilets and shower. Cleaning was done on a very regular basis which is not always the case in budget hotels.
