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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The rooms were very basic, not enough plug sockets, no lockers available, and some of the beds/mattresses needed replacing. It was outside high season so there were no social activities organised by the hostel.
Really nice common areas with lots of comfy seating and hammocks. Big decent kitchen with lots of equipment to use. Staff were brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Really nice place to chill out.

Portugal5 Reviews6.0“Clean and friendly but noisy and uncomfortable.”- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
I paid for a single room, and was put in a two-bunk dorm, by myself. Very basic, not even a hook to hang a towel off, no other furniture. Mattress was saggy, sheets thin and synthetic. The walls were so thin you could hear everything going on around. There is no quiet time policy so the first night I was woken up by people talking loudly very late at night. And the breakfast is minimal: some sliced white bread, jam and black tea bags.
Staff were friendly and the place was very clean. The location is great, close to the sea and bars etc. Plenty of hammocks to lie in.

This is just personal opinion and my fault for not researching a little more, but this hostel was very large so it was busy and there were many young people (under 20s and a little over. Wasn’t really my vibe.
There was a pool and location wasn’t too far.

Never had so many mosquitoes except for the jungle. The kitchen area had dozens of mosquitoes I could see (and probably more I couldn't). It was fully open, no nets not repellants of any sorts. Music at high volume all day long and with a similar playlist didn't make my stay more enjoyable but much less as there was no quiet place. The room had no lockers.
Swimming pool. Most of the staff were friendly and great
