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...).

United KingdomKitchen down in the basement was not very well equipped, and the lounge wasn't very comfy
Lockers outside the bedrooms were a great idea as people weren't being noisy with luggage in the room. Clean and comfortable with lots of plug sockets next to each bed. Easy check in

Czech RepublicHostel is in a great location with good transport connections around the city. Having breakfast available was great as it helps you save on one meal as Geneva is very expensive. Room is a good size for sharing with others, and having a large locked locker was an added bonus. Also, being able to rent a towel helped a lot as I was travelling light just for the weekend.

IrelandThe bathrooms had only one toilet cubicle, which server 2-3 rooms of 6 guys in each, so the toilet was often occupied.
Very friendly reception, free luggage storage if you arrive before check-in (like I did). Rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. Bathrooms three separate showers with ample room to keep your change of clothing. Breakfast had multiple options and was delicious. Very spacious lockers outside of the room, which I did not use though, but great security add on.

ColombiaThe hostel staff was really friendly and helpful. The location is fine, as it is easy accesible by public transport. It helps a lot that they give you the card to take the public transportation for free! The lake is close by which is a nice place to take a walk. I only stayed for 2 nights but have to leave early the second night in order to catch a bus, but the city seems really nice. The price seems a bit expensive to me, but it was the cheaper one in Geneva, which is an expensive city anyways. Overall the stay was nice, and the hostel was very clean and comfortable.
