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):
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.
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.).

PhilippinesThe shared toilet and bathroom would have been more convenient if they were combined, but instead they were separate. The common toilet uses a sensor light, which makes sense, but it only detects movement in certain spots. This means that while inside the cubicle, the light may go off, and you have to step out to trigger it again.
The lodge is within walking distance from the train station, has welcoming staff, and provides a fan, which is especially useful in the warm weather.

"Welcome to Pax Lodge - a place where strangers soon are friends" - this welcome sign isn't just decoration, it's absolutely spot on! This has become my favourite London go-to because of the incredible atmosphere and wonderful connections you make with fellow travelers and volunteers. Great location, feels safe and peaceful ; plus being so close to Hampstead Heath meant I got to see the first London 9pm sunset!!!

FranceMy wife and I found everything great including the welcoming team.
I was very impressed by how relaxing and enjoyable this stay for a day was. My wife and I thought the room was perfect as we were able to get one with a shower and toilets as part of the room, which you have to book in advance if there are still some available. Breakfast available for 5 pounds per person was a plus !

JapanIt was difficult to control the temperature of the shower and hot water came out. I wish l had an electric oven.
A female three- person with a washbasin and nearby supermarket was convenient. Near subway and the bus stop was accessible King’s Cross Station. The dining room was easy to enter from the outside, spacious and pleasant.

United KingdomThe beds were rather firm! And although we had a fan supplied it was very hot and stuffy.( Our stay was early May and the weather was 18c in the daytime.) They do only give you one medium sized towel, so if I stay again I'll remember to take my own.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a large dining/common room space which was equipped with a kettle, microwave and toaster. A fridge to keep food in. They allowed us to use the car park on the morning we checked out which was just £5 for the day. Even though there were no en suite bathrooms, there were plenty of showers and toilets along the corridor and we never had to wait. Also they are separate units so not communal.
