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.).

AustraliaBathrooms could be cleaned more regularly. The showers are quite inconvenient with only 1 hook on the outside of the shower, and no rails or benches to put any clothes or toiletry bags. I had to leave my clothes in a toilet cubicle and get changed in there as it was the only dry AND private place. I also didn’t like that there were only showed curtains, not doors, it felt a bit vulnerable. For all the constructive criticism it wasn’t awful, just a few things that would improve the experience.
Lots of sitting space, in the dining area and communal area. I appreciated having oven, toaster, and kettle facilities

PortugalThe WC on our floor (3rd floor) didn't have any hot water. We had to use the other floor's WC which is very inconvenient due to having to carry all your clothes and toiletries. In addition, the listing referrers that the Hostel has a TV but there isn't a TV in any of the common areas. We asked the reception, and they confirmed that the accommodation does not have a TV. The rooms were not cleaned daily, only the trash can emptied.
The beds are very comfortable, with individual lights and sockets. The curtains help keep privacy for each bed.

FranceThe showers on the second floor only have hot water, I'd even say it was boiling hot, but the pressure is good. And the showers on the 3rd floor have cool-to-cold water and the pressure is really low... It's the only thing that I found a bit upsetting about my stay at the hostel.
The stuff is very nice and helpful! The kitchen has everything I needed to make a breakfast and a dinner, microwave oven, electric oven, toaster, kettle, fridge. My bed was comfy, the capsule offers some privacy.

United StatesThe bathroom and showers were far from my room. To turn on the showers you needed to push a button and the button would slowly go back up, thus turning off the shower. I'm not sure why the hostel chose that design.
I liked the common areas such as the kitchen, dining and game room. They also provided a place for guest to store food with their own assigned containers. The front desk staff were kind, and friendly. One of them took the time to give me a quick tour which I greatly appreciated.

Italy- It's a bit far from the city center, and the area can feel a bit unsafe at times - Shower / toilet area wasn't in the best condition, some of the shower curtains were broken. - Price was quite high, but that's to be expected for Dublin.
- Amazing staff, really helpful! - Rooms are really spacious, and curtains offers some privacy
