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 reviewI had a lovely stay at this hostel. The room was very clean and tidied daily by the cleaning staff. Fresh towels and water were provided every day, which was a really nice touch. There’s even a beauty salon on-site. Perfect for a relaxing spa day, and as a guest, you get a 20% discount! The room had a balcony and a fridge, which made the stay extra convenient. The staff speak English and are always ready to help with any questions or requests. Their service is great. They greet you warmly every time they see you and check if everything is okay. You really feel looked after here. Excellent location! Highly recommend! Note: The room wasn’t very spacious, but we already knew that before booking.
Thanks for your feedback. This is the best gift for us. we hope to see you soon. we wish the best things for you and your family.

Verified reviewGreat location and quiet. Comfortable bed. Cold aircon. Basic but has all you need for a stay in the heart of the Old Quarter. Bottle water provided free daily which was a nice touch. Night receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. Free baggage storage.
Little bit worn.

Verified reviewEverything! We were surprised how we can easily locate it and how near it was to pretty much everywhere we want to go!
Our room was situated in the third floor 301 (but it was understandable 'coz we all know that most of the hotel and hostels don't have elevators)

Verified reviewGreat value- super central location right in the hustle and bustle. Awesome having a little balcony to watch the street below, the bathroom was clean/modern and spacious compared to other places we’ve stayed in a similar budget. The beds were surprisingly comfy- with really cozy doonas. Air conditioning worked super well, the staff were lovely and cleaned our room when we were away + left more water and fresh towels. Laundry service was also done super fast. Cannot thank the owner enough for her honesty- we accidentally left our wallet in the lobby right before getting on our sleeper bus and only realised as we were driving away. She checked all the areas for us and found the wallet! So lucky as it contained a lot of cash and it would be easy for someone to take it or be dishonest. Very thankful for that
Nothing to dislike- only thing to note is the room isn’t super spacious and is quite narrow but that was no issue for us.

Verified reviewfront desk was nice location is great, walking distance
The place is pretty run down, does not look like the photos presented on google and booking.com. Plug was out of the wall, noisy (doors don't block noise), toilet seat not fixed, shower head not working... The last straw was when I was pressured and forced to change rooms at my last day so they can accomodate a last minute booking, even if I pre-paid for this room and I told them I already unpacked all my stuff. Not the best experience so I went to stay in another hotel down the road after

Verified reviewGood location, just walking distance to many nice cafes and restaurants. The staff were good and helpful. They allowed us to just leave our stuff after we checked out early and I got back the coat which I forgot in our room.
The toilet door lock should be fixed.

Verified reviewThe hostel is in a great location and the staff are nice and very helpful. They organised laundry, airport taxi and massages which were very good. However, our room was very tired and and situated on the 4th floor of the hostel and as there is no lift it was a lot of stairs to climb. The bed and the pillows are hard but this may be my personal preference.
