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 reviewMinimalist, inexpensive.
Outdoor signage! When you send a pic of the lock, please include a pic of the corner sign (to find the building) and the plaque by the door (to find the entrance) I was looking for GuestHouse not GISTHUS. You could also say, it’s “next to a Chinese restaurant”. Their signage was prominent. Please add a grab bar because stepping out of the shower and so far down is treacherous with nothing to hold on to.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious and clean, great location
The restrooms were falling apart, door handles came out if you pulled on them, counter above the sink was slanted enough for everything to fall off so I had to keep all of my clothes and toiletries on the ground and on the toilet while I showered. Also the shower temperature settings weren’t accurate, I could choose between scorching or boiling water only

Verified reviewGreat location right in the center. Nearby free parking. Automated check in anytime. Fully equipped kitchen. It was fairly clean.
Small rooms. For the price, I expected a bit more comfort. Noisy street in front of the building.

Parking, or lack thereof Need a clear statement that this is guesthouse 101 hotel, a different place than guesthouse 101 a few streets away We arrived at the incorrect location to drop off our bags, no email had been received that morning as promised. No one at wrong address answered the bell, another resident let us inside, so we left our bags and went out for the day. Imagine our surprise when we returned, got into email and had received a description and photo of a very different place. All worked out in the end, but other travelers told us they have had similar experiences.

Verified reviewClose to the pickup point for our tours.
The "bare bones" nature of the facility was a surprise. Also, there were several rooms that did not have an en suite bath, and the shared toilet/shower was RIGHT NEXT to our room. Even closing (not slamming) the door to that bath was very noticeable in our room.
