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 reviewIt was comfortable and you sleep really well. The location is great
The staff is not so friendly and I didn’t find them so helpful either . I don’t like the air freshener they use everywhere it gets to my head and it smells melon everywhere . The kitchen organisation is really good. Internet works but not perfectly so not ideal for video calls . The bathrooms are clean but sometimes they smell really bad it’s probably the sewage

Verified reviewI sat in my bed one morning and watched one of the staff come in and go to a bed of someone who left that morning. She threw the duvet cover on the floor, wiped the sheet a few times with her hand, then folded the duvet cover and put it back on the bed! When I asked at the front desk about this, it was confirmed that they do not change the sheets if a guest has only stayed one night (at least, that's what they said. Maybe they do not change them after longer stays, who knows). I was disgusted.Sleeping on someone else's sheet, with a duvet cover that was on the floor on top of you... I don't think anything else matters but, if you do, I will also note the dorm room was VERY small, I didn't even really have a place to put my backpack. There is also very little social area, so there's not really a good hostel vibe, and the only real social space that exists is right outside one of the dorm rooms, meaning if people use it at night, it disturbs people trying to sleep in that room.

Verified reviewThe location is great, in the heart of the city. I liked the decor, super nice. Clean showers and toilets. Perfect place to overnight, meet cool people, talk, enjoy life.
Towels could be kept of a higher quality. The shower could have shower gel. The bigger storage room would probably help some travellers.

Verified reviewThe location of the hostel was excellent. The staff was super helpful and the owner, Rubens, made his best to guarantee our comfort and always talked to us in good humour (a plus is that he also speaks Portuguese)! He also organises tours to Orhei and Transnistria. The latter exceed all of my expectations and we had a truly immersive experience that lasted for a full day! The hostel was pristine, organised and the the bed and pillow were really really comfortable!! Next time I come to Chisinau, I will definitely stay in the hostel!

Verified reviewIt was really cozy and you can easily meet up with other travellers at the common area, the kitchen or in the garden. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a really cheap price and the location was good.
Some facilities in the bathroom didn’t work properly. There was just a very small window in the room, which means you don’t really get natural light.

Verified reviewThe wooden beds have probably dried out with the arrival of summer and are squeaking. This causes discomfort at night.

Verified reviewThis place is "totally cool" 😎 In a word, "tranquility" - my go-to place. As an oftentimes weary traveler, it's so great to be received by kind/friendly people and find everything to be nicely provided late at night. The mattress is ☆☆☆☆☆. P.S. - great location for bus/train station connections.
