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.).

GermanyYou may be intimidated by the location of the hostel if you arrive at night, as was the case with me. There are no signs at the entrance, and the hostel itself is located in a side street. But the hostel worker meets you outside, so that's fine
This hostel was the best hostel in my week-long European tour of three countries. At first, I was skeptical about it, there were some moments to find the entrance to the hostel in a dark alley. But once inside, I was pleasantly surprised. It was as if I got to the home of a comfortable friend - the hosts were very friendly, and helped me with the route, as well as offered help if something happened. Of the main advantages, I note very spacious rooms, there is even a full-length wardrobe to hang a suit or dress. The location is in the very center - only 5 minutes from the central station, and 15 minutes from the main attractions of the city, I did not use buses at all! And a nice little thing - a kitchen in which you can cook something and leave food in the refrigerator. In terms of price/quality ratio, this place gives you the best and even more. I will definitely choose this place again if I am ever passing through Rome

Italythe owner’s colleague. the guy who came to check me in. he was rude and stupid. he works in this industry and doesn’t even know the law - students of rome do not pay city tax. if it wasn’t the hotel owner who helped me, he would made me pay. he worsened the experience. also i was unlucky with the roommate, who was leaving early and didn’t let me sleep. but it’s just bad luck.
It’s right in the city center. i needed a place to stay for 1 night only and it was cheap. the owner was very polite and replied all my questions. they gave me a bottle of cold water.

United KingdomGeneral cleanliness is questionable. There was mould in the shower in room 3, plus it didn't drain properly, accumulating water while showering.
Good location, small hostel with only 3 rooms so a quiet and calm atmosphere. There is a kitchen in the main area and bathroom for each rooms.

AustraliaThe kitchen (oven etc) wasn’t very clean and the shower got a little slimy with the drain not clearing well in the sink. For an all female hostel it was interesting to have only male staff..one was a bit too friendly at times. Aside from that, a great stay and I would stay again.
Great location, a 10-15 min walk into the fountain etc. clean, comfy beds.

United StatesThe bed was awkward to get in and out, small bunk, made a lot of noise. The door to the room made a lot of noise so we kept waking each other up. The kitchen was small and not well equipped. Common spaces small and awkward. The price was a bit high. No lamp or outlet near the beds
Excellent location

United Kingdomthe beds are really hard so not the best for the over 40s!!
great place to stay for a short break, I was only here 1 night. room with 4 beds in it and plenty of space. staff were very helpful. I'm a solo traveller and felt safe here. it's very basic but if you j ust need a place to sleep and this is absolutely fine. it was a 8 minute walk from the train station which was good. it's about 25- 30 min walk to most attractions which if you don't mind walking (I mean it's rome! what a lovely place to walk in!) then it's fine. some nice restaurants nearby.

SwitzerlandI would suggest keeping the bathroom cleaner and establishing some rules regarding noise. While I understand that the host cannot control the noise made by guests, it could be beneficial to include recommendations such as, "Please keep noise to a minimum between 11 PM and 6 AM." Additionally, providing a flyer asking guests to help with cleanliness—like drying the floor after using the shower—would also be helpful.
The host was kind. The place has a big fridge which posts-its to tag your food, which I found very helpful. There were lockers in the room, and the bedroom was clean.
