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...).

AustraliaThe kitchen wasn’t available to use until 8am.. which is reasonable! But if you’re an early riser desperate for coffee, you’re going out 😄

Hungary1 family occupied 3 beds in the 4-bed room. One of them told me to turn off the light because everyone was sleeping. I stumbled in the dark and tried to climb onto the bunk bed while I couldn't move because of their many suitcases. There was only 1 extension cord, but it was not given. My phone is dead. I felt really bad for them.
It's in a very good location. They are nice because they also gave me earplugs. Trains run continuously by the hotel. Staff is kind and helpful. The bar is also great.

TurkeyThe check-in time is 3 pm. In case you reach before that time and if you want to store your baggage in the luggage storage room till check-in time, most probably you will face a locked front door. And if you are lucky, someone will see you by chance, and will open the door. Otherwise you wont be able to enter the hostel. Sometimes door's passwords are changed, and the guests are not informed till we ask! There was no personal light, socket etc nearby my bed.

BrazilEverything was fine.
The location is great, super close to various touristic spots, the subway, and many bus stops. The room was very clean, the bathrooms were modern and although for some reason toilets were very few and on upper floors, they were always clean and free. To be honest I didn't even know that there was breakfast included and it was good. I was late for my check out and the staff was super helpful and comprehensive.

GermanyIn my recent hostel stay, I faced significant issues with the heating system. It consistently turned off automatically, leading to a sore throat and a cold. Requesting assistance through WhatsApp or repeatedly asking staff for adjustments caused unnecessary delays. Additionally, the lack of cleanliness in common areas, especially the door handles over my 5-day stay, raised concerns about hygiene. The unchanged bed linen during the last two nights contributed to an overall uncomfortable experience.
Very central location, friendly staff, easy check in process

SpainAlmost everything. Sheets were dirty, the heating was never on and you had to ask everyday for it to be turned on, sometimes theyd turn it on and then off throughout the night. We stayed 4 days and 3 of those days THERE WAS NO HOT WATER to shower. When asked about this, there were no actual stuff to help out, just a guy who was nice enough to try and help but no actual answer or solution was given.
It is a 5 min walk to the London Eye/Big Ben. It has a bus stop right at the front door and the bar is really cool. The staff was really nice as well.
