Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IsraelThis seems to be an old house turned to a hostel and the shower and toilet facilities aren’t updated to a proper hostel standard in my opinion, it is still okay but if you’re looking for something clean and comfortable to use then this might not be it.
Staff is great, very welcoming and friendly. Location was great and close to most things you’d need in town. A nice small seating area near the entrance and there is a small shop for fresh vegetables across the road

CanadaI like guesthouses but beds were not comfy. my bed made sounds whenever I moved and I could feel the metallic structure underneath when lying on the bed. Did use the second shower for which the door was broken, and the bathroom looks a bit old
staff super friendly and interesting to converse with. Pretty close to the beach which is nice to see the sunrise.

JapanThe door for the shower was broken, and there were no privacy curtains on the bed. The room also let in a lot of light/sound, also no lock on the bedroom door. It's an older location, but considering the price I think it's fair.
4 minute walk to Hase station and a 3 minute walk to the beach. Staff was really friendly and there was a small place to lock up important items (nothing for big luggage). Lounge area was spacious and the layout was good. Plenty of hot water/ good water pressure in the shower.

New ZealandUnfortunately the shower was broken while we were there, and after a couple of days we felt quite grubby. The hosts were.trying to find someone to fix it but had no luck during oir stay. Our room was very tiny & cluttered but probably fair for.what we paid.
Really lovely staff and atmosphere. There were opportunities to socialise or you could keep to yourself, good location - near the beach, train station & attractions.

United StatesFor the dorms, imagine a one bedroom filled with 3 bunk beds. I had an upper bunk and the a/c was on my feet. There's hardly any space if the room is filled with 6 people. Like we had to take turns to pack stuff and get ready for check out. The 3 ladders are on each other's way. Also, there's no dedicated and locked luggage storage, except for the small one in the hall upstairs.
Location is superb and that's pretty much the only positive thing about this property if you'll be staying in a dorm. Very close to the station and the beach. Also a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby.

Great staff, very nice and had good ideas on stuff to do. The common area was nice and some people just hung out there. They held our luggage for us before we checked in so we could explore.
