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.).

ItalyShared rooms were way bigger then any hostel I've ever been to, and there was a sink with soap in the room. Bathrooms were very clean and a towel was provided. There's a locked room where luggages can be left before checking in and after checking out. For smaller items, there are lockers with personal keys. Staff was kind and ready to help.

Italy- Bed wasn't clean, I noticed sand-like things on the middle part of bed on the sheet - Blanket is very thin so I felt quite cold in the room luckily I only stay for few hours before my flight. - Chemical/paint smell in the corridor near my toom. - Shared bathroom isn't very clean and occupied 70% time. - Luggage storage can't be use between 22-7 no other locker in room - I chose a more expensive "single bed in female dorm" option over a cheaper "bunkbed in 6person female dorm" option because I'd like to rest well before my early flight in the morning. On my check-in I sae that I was given a bunkbed but no one was on top at that moment so I thought they gave me a bunkbed to stay on my own with no one on top and I asked the lady who checked me in if I will be the only one sleeping here which she responded yes. So I left my luggages and went out visit the city. When I came back I saw someone's belongings are on the upper bed so I went to the lady and asked then she changed the words saying that the more expensive "Single bed" option is also a bunkbed shared with someone else which doesn't make any sense and give me a lecture of 40 minutes about "they don't make their listings but satellite does it for them so it's not their fault but the platform mistake it" which I high doubt but didn't say anything because I didn't want to stay there all day. I think what really happened is there was another request after I checked in so they sold the upper bed even it was supposed to be empty since I booked "single bed" option. There was also 8 person in the room instead of 6. She ended up give me 3 euro refund with lots of anger attitude which took another 25 minutes to bring to me. At night, the lady on top was shaking the bed and making noises every few minutes for more than 1.5hours and I couldn't fall asleep at all. Ended up sleeping probably for 40 minutes before getting up at 3.
- Location is good 15 minutes walk from bus stop - There's a hand-washing sink in the room which was convenient
