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.).

United StatesThere is no staff on site. All handled via email. Very spartan furnishings. It's not a place you go to hang out in the room. Door locks (Front door and room door) were pushbutton, with combo delivered to you via text message.
The accommodations were sparse, as you might expect a hostel to be. Bedsheets were clean and towels were provided. Overhead lights were the only lights in the room. Bathrooms were clean, and down the hall. Great location for walking to pizza, coffee, ice cream shops. I was lucky to find a parking spot on the street a block away. I felt safe staying there. GREAT value for the price, and price was the main reason I chose this location.

United StatesIt took me a minute to find the place, which is annoying out in the rain. The breakfast they promised was never really explained or given to me. I mean, there was a kitchen, but I had no idea if the food was an up for grabs type situation or if other guests just left it there for later. Also, it's self check-in/out so there's no staff there to ask for help if you're confused or require assistance. There is a number to call, but sometimes they straight ignore the calls.
I liked the location, it was 20min (by foot) away from all the major places I need to be/get to. The room was neat and you are left alone. They email you all the info you need about an hour before your scheduled "check in" time.

United Statesrooms and bathrooms in particular were a bit shabby, cleanliness wise. It was loud as in I could hear everything out side and inside. I hadn't realized it was student housing with shared bathrooms and kitchen etc., but it worked out well for what I needed.
Great location, bed was rather comfortable. I liked that it was above a Ben n Jerrys ice cream parlour, for late night snacks. Easy access and beautiful neighborhood. I liked all the amenities in the area, food and such.
