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.).

NetherlandsIt is more a hostel then hotel. You can only enter a few hours per day. We were there at 15:00 and then you can not enter. You get the linnen and sheets for your bed and you have to do it yourself.

Czech RepublicRemember that you may have to pay extra for the linens (we did not notice this when booking). The bathroom was extremely tiny, you could barely turn around in it.
The location is splendid and the staff are really lovely. The room had a window overlooking the street and plenty of natural light, the wifi worked just fine, and we could not hear any neighbours.

United KingdomMy room could have been a bit warmer, I needed an extra duvet at night, and the shower drains smelled a bit weird.
Really easy to get to from the station, central, clean, and as it’s part-hostel, there’s a great communal kitchen available for use with a kettle, microwaves, fridges, freezer and cooker, next to a little dining room, which they kept clean. The staff were really welcoming and helpful. It was very quiet. Comfy beds. I would stay again.

The location is very central... near the Central Bus Station, Train Station and the Shopping Mall/Stores/Restaurants. Also liked the fact that they have a guest kitchen with lot of appliances.

NorwayThe bed maybe??
A centrally located accommodation for a cheap price. Very helpful and nice staff. This is not really a hotel, but more like a hostel. The room was small, with a bunk bed, but with a small bathroom. They offered breakfast and linen/towel for an addition in the price. It was also possible to use the kitchen. PS It is located above a shopping center.
