Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaMore bench space in kitchen would be good, but that's only a minor thing.
Everything. They had a number of inside and outside areas. Bikes to hire, cheap meals, a lot of information on getting to places. Room I had was in an Annex across the road which was peaceful. Good area.

United StatesOur shower needed to be able to adjust so it could point down. It’s a hand held which is wonderful but washing your hair with one hand I was not able to do a good job.
We liked the breakfast choices. We had the studio which was nicer than any hotel rooms we stayed in. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We so loved having a nice refrigerator and place to make some food in our room.

GermanyA minor detail, our bunk bed didn´t have a ladder.
The shared bathrooms were clean, also the kitchen. The room was small and simple but really functional. The beds were comfortable. The shared spaces (dining room, living room, kitchen) were big enough, so it never felt completely crowded. The breakfast was good and affordable. The personnel was really helpful and kind.

United KingdomOur double private room was very small, limited hanging space and shelving etc to put things.
Lovely, helpful staff. Very clean accommodation. Facilities included free lockers that we made use of as we had arrived early in the morning. There is an outdoor garden, clean kitchen and dining room. Plenty of toilets, showers etc to go round. Bar area that proved popular with everyone in the evenings. Variety of breakfast served at additional costs. Optional vegetarian meal provided in the evenings if interested. Very close to shops and public transport. They provide the transport pass that is cheaper than buying the 24, 48 hour etc pass at the train station. Keep up the good work!

North MacedoniaThe hostel is located near the metro station (3-5 min walk) as well as a few grocery shops. Volunteers serve dinner every night and you can pay as much as you think you should. Great vibe in the hostel. The main shopping street in Vienna is also within walking distance from the hostel. Recommended.

The best hostel I've ever been in! I came early in the morning, several hours before check-in time and I was able to change clothes and freshen up. The man working at the reception was THE MOST helpful with directions and recommendations for local cuisine. Overall, the staff was very helpful and friendly. After I checked out, I was able to store my luggage until I had my train, which was very convenient. The room and bed were very clean and so was the bathroom. I felt safe. There is breakfast available in the morning for a charge and a free dinner.
