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...).

Czech Republicthe accommodation is not exactly the cleanest. there was a mouse in my room and it ate my snack! it is also not very pleasant to clean the bed from mouse excrement each evening. the kitchen could be cleaner and better equipped. the owner could invest in air conditioning. even with two fans it was terribly hot in the room.
for the price you pay you can't ask for any luxury and you won't get it. however, there are nice and friendly people and there is no noise in the evening.

United KingdomThe bed broke on me the first night. Close the road so noisy and especially weekends with shops playing music early in the day until late at night. Special area for smoking weed and alot of people living there permanently. No attention to guests.
Out of town in a cheap area 15mins walk from Old Town. Close to the beach. Breakfast was enough to start the day off

ZimbabweDorm room is a bit small.
It was fine. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were kept clean. We stayed in the dorm room because the private rooms were all booked. The bed we had wasn't super comfortable and the room was a bit cramped but it had aircon at night so it's pretty OK.

EstoniaThe location was a bit out of the way from the center and when dark it was sketchy to walk. Our room's ceiling started leaking after the rain and when we got back we discovered that all our staff was wet. Overall it was just a bit worndown.
It was quite a cheap hostel, which was a bonus. It had really cute dogs. The staff was friendly.

DenmarkThe kitchen was dirty and it seemed like it was the staff more than the guest that didn’t clean up. The dorm was really warm. Three dogs and a cat is a lot in a quite small hostel.
A good hostel for the price. Big common area, kitchen and good toilets. You can walk to the city center but it is a bit fare.
