Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Germany4th floor was challenging and there is no possibility to wash hands in the toilet room. Difficult when the shower room is occupied.
2 bedroom with single beds was really good and there was possibility to heat water for coffee and tea. We loved the pub downstairs and breakfast was more than okay (included in the fee).

The staff is friendly. The hotel is in a fantastic location, close to the city centre, on a street with plenty of alternative places. The bathrooms are nice. I felt very safe despite being in a mixed room with 28 beds. Great breakfast was included. Trains weren't that loud, and I was given ear plugs.

Czech RepublicThe rooms are on the smaller side, i.e. there's not much space aside from beds themselves. If you're travelling with a bigger backpack/luggage, you might be hard-pressed where to put it.
The hostel really has an excellent position for exploring the city. There was a reasonable selection of breakfast items including soy alternative for milk. Also the hostel keeps with the theme with little walruses marking the rooms throughout the building, which is just a fun touch.

Great affordable option so close to everything. Staff were wonderful, breakfast was great and the noise wasn't anywhere near as bad as we expected.

United KingdomAs expected, being located next to a raised train track with traffic going beneath, it is a very noisy location with no real decrease in noise during the night. The shower on our floor was very small.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were very clean and despite the noisy location I slept well. It is located very close to several nice restaurants and is ideal for London Eye and related attractions.
