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 reviewBreakfast in the garden over the road was tasty, fresh and in excellent setting. The room itself is in an excellent location within Jerusalem.
The room and furniture were pretty basic and could do with a refresh. There was a balcony which could have been much more pleasant if the glazing had been cleaned.

Verified reviewThe location was ideal for me. Just a 5 min walk to my friends’ home. Breakfast was wonderful in a little shaded patio under the trees. The staff was lovely and eager to make my stay pleasant.
I didn’t mind too much but if cleanliness is a must for you I wouldn’t recommend this location. Bed sheets were too small and didn’t fit the mattress. The only thing they did in my two week stay is changed the sheets and towels twice and resupplies toilet paper. The water boiler was falling apart which added plastic particles to my tea. Also the tub/shower is very high and requires a steep climbing over to get in and out.

Verified reviewBreakfast was tasty, plenty with a large selection of accompanying spreads. The room was specious, beautiful, quiet, full of character.
Changes in breakfast accomp. spreads. More maintenance in the courtyard.

Verified reviewThe location and the price were good
The place requires some renovation and repair. In order to turn the water heater on you have to contact the owner. A neighbor kept playing the piano.

Verified reviewGreat staff in a great location in Baka area, a beautiful tony section of Jerusalem. The hotel is fun with great guests, many foreign visitors here to meet friends and family; lots of family events on the weekend. OK, the rooms are a bit small, but this is an old historic building, so what more would you expect. The breakfast was fine...sufficient variety not to become boring. The outdoor patio adjacent to the street is fun to sit at..no bar or food served there but bring your own from any of the restaurants and shops nearby and enjoy the evening breeze. It's about 2 miles from the old town on the Bethlem road and not too far from one of Jerusalem's major malls. Plenty to do. Also....and maybe I shouldn't let the cat out of the bag, but free parking across the road for those with a car.
I would have loved a bigger room but you can't always get what you want.

Verified reviewWe spent one night in Baka as we were visiting friends in the area. The hotel is a cute bauhaus building with tall walls and a limited number of rooms. There is also a wonderful large patio for all guests where breakfast is served and we spent time there relaxing. Very nice to wake up to breakfast and coffee. The room has all the basics and a nice bathroom. Adi and her husband are very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return!

Verified reviewHost was very attentive and accommodating for requests such as extra towels etc., breakfast preparation etc.
While there is a small room safe, it is not fastened to anything so anyone can just carry it away easily. As a result, it was not used which would have been nice to do.

Verified reviewWe LOVED our stay at Baka Bauhaus. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast - omelette, cappuccino, fresh bread, multiple spreads and my highlight - fresh chopped salad - was the perfect way to start our day. The location is one of my favourite in Jerusalem, cafes and shopping down the street, steps from the 'greenway', steps from Emek Rafaim and walkable to the kotel and downtown. It's not for everyone - if you prefer 5 star hotels with generic conveniences then stay at one of them in downtown Jerusalem. However, if you like personality and wonder, clean but 'funky', then this place is for you.
Not a lot of dishes in the kitchenette, but in fairness, we could have asked the staff and I'm sure they would have provided us with more.
