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.).

HungaryIn our first day, the toilet is very dirty, no toilet tissue and very hot. No aircon, so we can't sleep.
Near in the mall, groceries, subway, bus stop, train station.

New ZealandThis place is okay as long as your expectations aren't too high or medium lol. It does the job for a night, but I probably wouldn't want to stay here for an extended trip unfortunately. The room itself is very outdated, and basic. A bit rough around the edges so to speak. I feel like the room was clean but because everything's really old it makes it feel not clean. I had a girl's only room which made me feel better. Bathrooms were sub-par. The toilets were pretty gross, broken seat, water on the floor - not ideal. Showers were in a different room, it said girls only but I did see some male staff going in and out occasionally, maybe for cleaning? Showers are a press to start situation, so you get 4 seconds of hot water and then it stops, so you have to press it a few times for a decent wash. No where private to change either which was a bit annoying.
If you're after a place to practice singing, come here. The bathroom has amazing acoustics!! Hahah Great location. Cheap price for budapest. Quiet place. Safe. Large lockers.

United KingdomThe cooker was confusing. The instructions on the wall for the electric hob were inverted (numbers on the dials were rubbed off and there was paper on the wall showing instructions)
I was told by the receptionist that the building is actually used for student accommodation and in the summer when the students go home it's rented as a hostel. The rooms were fantastic. Very spacious between the beds, there was an upstairs and downstairs floor to the room I stayed in. Big tables in the room that made packing my backpack much easier! Big wash room was also nice.

PolandRoom was ok, but floor in bathroom was dirty. Floor near the fridge for guests was very sticky for quite some time. Since it's a student's dormitory, everyone should clean for themselfes but some seemed to not care.Ocassionally, loud music from neighbours from other room.
Very close to M2 metro line, Shopping Mall and Lidl very close - 10 minute walk to Parliment , nice and helpfull stuff.

FinlandThe only negative thing was the size and equipment of the kitchen & fridge, so if you plan on making food, be prepared that it might be a little hard. We ended up eating instant ramen and restaurant food, which worked out just fine. One of out beds was also pretty noisy.
We stayed at Season Hostel 1 instead, as there were some complications with the booking, but everything was handled very smoothly and nicely. Just note that this review is for another building. The place is a boarding school that turns into a hostel during summer when the students are away, so the vibe is very fun and interesting. The rooms are big and have good storage space, and there's a beautiful little courtyard inside the hostel area. The staff deserves their own special mention. The receptionist was very friendly and lovely, and he made us feel like we were at home. The check-in was easy and we always got help if we needed.

GermanyWell - cleaned, but not inside the rooms, sticky tables, floors apparently not always cleaned, bed tables too. Bathrooms and toilets are actually well-cleaned.
Good for the price, good location, I came for Sziget 2024, top location. Super well-managed for the amount of people they handle. Good WIFI, can even work from there. Would be great if the rooms would be cleaned before every guest coming, but they don't have a lot of staff to do it probably.
