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...).

EstoniaThe sound isolation is not the best, could hear someone snoring from another room. (But he was a really heavy snorer, this shouldn't always be the case).
Easy self-check-in . The room had 3 beds, they were comfy. Clean room. Good value for price! The owner was friendly and responsive.

SwitzerlandWe announced beforehand when we would arrive, but the owner did not reply to our message and we had to wait quite some time to be let in. There were people arguing in front of our window in the middle of the night, which disturbed our sleep (it's not the hotel's fault though).
The hotel is located close to the city center and the border. The price is very reasonable and the room is comfortable.

FinlandWalking from/to the railway station was a little bit longer than I expected for a small town. But you can check the map and backpackers know how far they can carry their luggage.
A basic hostel accommodation in a quiet side street. Nothing fancy, but everything was in decent condition and very clean. The shared kitchen seemed well equipped, but I did neither have time nor any need to use it. Everything you would expect in hostel price class was OK.

Hong KongIt's not the hostel. They said no hot water in the hostel so give me a private apartment. The staircase is a bit smelly but inside the apartment is ok. Thinking if not ok could I go away since it is not refundable !! Difficult to communicate in English with the owner. I went to the hostel it looks like already closed for a while.
It is clean.

NorwayWish it was a lock or hinge or something on the door to the common shower.
Excellent location very close to the places you want to see. Spacious and clean room. Downstairs is a very well equipped kitchen with a cozy sitting area, and outside the door, there were picnic tables. Good WiFi which also worked at the outside tables. It was a good place to stay, because even if you are heading for Latvia, the transport leaves from Valga, not from Valka!

EstoniaIt was a very basic place. I booked it with low expectations, so in this regard it definitely wasn't a disappointment. It's cheap, you can wash, sleep, cook yourself a breakfast. Nothing beyond. Unfortunately at about 4:00 during the night some fairly noisy group arrived. They might not have been that noisy... but the thin walls and doors that have tendency to close with a big bang might have made them sound much louder than they really were. But it nevertheless ruined my sleep and I ended up leaving very early on the morning.
The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Suggesting to me a possibly better room than I had originally booked. She also showed concern over my bicycle, suggesting I take it to my room just in case.
