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...).

LebanonIt should be cleaned more often, and quiet hours should be enforced. It was way too crowded and loud even after midnight and before 7 am, with people having conversations in the hall which woke me up several times, or people coming in in those hours and turning on the light, talking and making noise.
Breakfast: wide variety of choice, filling. Facilities: coffee area, study area, full kitchen, eating area, computer area... makes a longer stay more comfortable. Location: very close to the tram and main buses, and walking distance to a lot of the main destinations.

IndiaWe got suffocated in the hostel room. There wasn’t minimal air conditioning. We had to open the windows for the air circulation. The charging sockets were customised and we were asked to take the adapters at the reception paying deposit. But there were inadequate adapters and we ended up charging our phones at the reception.
We liked the lockers system and the safety of the hostel. loved the breakfast too.

United StatesLaundry was a huge pain. They have a complicated system that involves waiting in line at the front desk to buy a 30 CHF smartcard to do the laundry (which costs 10CHF) and then you have to go back to the front desk to get your 20 CHF deposit back. Also one of the receptionists was very rude, from the moment we checked in.
Very professionally run hostel, great location, good common areas and the coffee was excellent.

IcelandThe last night every door up to my room was open. We had people in our room that weren't staying at the hostel. One enquired whether he could stay there. In fact the door to the rooms which required a key card was very often propped open, sometimes late at night. Daunting queues at the desk since there was only one staffer at a time.
A nice location close to the lake and a tram station. Helpful staff. Good family atmosphere and nice breakfast.
