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...).

FranceThe room was very unhygenic; spit on the toilet seat, very dusty and some ‘interesting’ stains. The staff also was not very friendly…
The location is perfect, right in the centre of Brussels.

AustraliaThe booking was for a womens dorm but they put a man in the room. When i asked reception about it they were totally unhelpful and said i needed to find the guy and tell him to go to reception to change rooms. Ended up leaving after 1 night rather than my booked 2 nights to stay at a better place where i felt safer.
Location was amazing, right in the centre of it all. The bathroom was nice.

NetherlandsI don't call it as a hotel, very small, no table or chairs in the room where you can put your drinks or little things in it. Less than I expected compared to the website itself. Rugs were so dirty with stains everywhere.
The Location is in the middle of the city. Restaurants and cafés are close bij, near to places of interest.

PakistanOur Bag (with Passport & clothes) was stolen from luggage room which has the lock and keys is only accessible by the management or the person who put the luggage there. Hotel Management didn't show us the video recording, apparently only owner has the access and owner is not available which seems very shaddy to us. How on earth there were running their business when owner is not there to show us the video

MalaysiaReception is very narrow and staff is "emotional-less" (not that they are not friendly, you just feel like check-in with machine). So they will not tell you what facilities the hostel offered and what's nearby. (Like Brussels is famous city, you should know what you want to do. Don't ask me.) It's just a place for you to sleep, there is no common area to handout. (I had better experience with Safestay Brastilava, I believe they are under the same group!)
Good location as the central square is right at the corner.

NetherlandsThere was no hot water and the elevator was also broken. The heating in the room also did not work. Without the elevator, my 67 year old mom had to climb up and down 5 flights of stairs. The staff had no clue as to when these issues would be fixed. We had to take a shower in cold water in December. To compensate all this, they offered us free breakfast but it was not worth all this hassle and not at all worth the money we paid. I would definitely not recommend this place.

United StatesThe bathrooms definitely left something to be desired - the doors were just big wood slabs 😂 and there were only 2 for the room, which had around 8 beds. This wasn't a problem for me but I could see it being an issue if the room was full. Some of the staff was less friendly than others. Elevator also was extremely slow and the signage in the hostel was confusing- there are 2 stairwells that don't seem to connect to each other and I got lost once lol
I always love a curtain over my bed! And there was an elevator which is always great. Bathroom connected to room instead of down the hall and is a residential-style bathroom so theres plenty of room to get dressed after a shower. The location is awesome - right in the center, minutes walk from la grand place and everything else downtown. I visited in December and it was sandwiched between no fewer than 4 Christmas markets.

RomaniaYou need to pay 3€/day if you want to keep your luggage in a room before checking in.
Perfect location, the room and bathroom was clean. Was not noisy because I got the room facing the interior garden, not the main street. The room was warm. There are lockers in the room, but bring your own lock

United StatesOur room was a 4 person room, but was actually lofted with a room below. You could hear their comings and goings.. Lights left on late we're also easily visible and access to room below was via stairs. No one came up and we didn't go down, but not a true 4 person room.
Rooms were spacious, warm and bathroom was nicely sized. Beds were comfortable and pillows were plush.

Francesome comments in public mais be listen and have consequence; the irony is helpfull: unless that is exactly the opposite you are proning stop use symbols for hate; trasncend use them for fair social dedication and ask for reading and thinking. The difference between fake empathy and right ones is that it needs some thinking; first duty of telencephalic humans believe or not.
