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 reviewThey have air conditioning at least
The hostel was very dirty. Everyone kept on opening the door and keeping it open causing the air conditioning to be inefficient and the mosquitoes kept coming in. It was very uncomfortable to sleep because of the poor circulation of the air conditioning and the mosquitoes kept coming inside the dormitory. Nobody spoke any English and I was using the translator.

Verified reviewReally didn’t like anything about this hostel.
1. No duvet/sheet for the bed 2. Shower is shit 3. The workers told me I was not allowed to use the non-traditional toilet as “my time was up” only 2 hours after I had checked out. They told me they would feel “unsafe” with me upstairs. This could be a translation but I know for certain this is bad hospitality. Gus, 25, M, thinks afffogatos are underrated

Verified reviewThe only thing that was nice about my stay was that it was close to the train station.
-Bed sheets was NOT changed, the sheets was full of crumbles and dust. I kept my clothes on of hygiene reasons. -The 1 shared bathroom for the 20+ beds smelled like fungus and despite having travelled for 15 hours I considered not to shower because it looked awful. -You do not get any cover or something to have over you. Only a pillow. -Lights in the room was ON all night an even the unused bed had the lighting on which was very disturbing. -AC looked black inside and for sure it was not healthy to breath in the air from it.

Verified reviewThe location was good. In the centre if the city and in walking distance or a Grab taxi to attractions. It did have Internet.. (tho' connection was not as reliable as it could be. ) There was working A/C
The building was filthy, very dirty. Including the bed linen. There were hairs, and blood stains on the sheets. It didn't match the description given in Booking.com There was strong smell of glue, and tools, and broken bits of furniture.. everywhere.. The toilet stank of urine, and there was only one toilet which was in the bathroom for the whole dorm.( I don't how many beds it had .. but in the region of 20 maybe) Communication with staff was v difficult, due to language barriers..
