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.).

United Statesthe smell in the large 7 beds-room was a combination of stuffy non aired saturated cigarette, masked by some incense sticks (didn't mask it well enough as we all felt like gagging). It was hard to ventilate our room as there was only one window that could open and it would slam shot when the door opens. Also- there was a super bright exit light sign above the door- as if we are in a club and not a guest room. The kitchen was tiny, sticky floor, non matching dishes. The fridge used by toher guests had a strong smell of salamy each times it was opened. In the morning the sink was full of someones dirty dishes and in the afternoon same dishes still there. The window in one of the bathrooms was covered with newspaper and the entrance to the guesthouse had crumpled down staircase. Electric wires were covered with sticky tape. You cant really see much of a view from our the room(aside from the other building gray wall).
I honestly didn't like anything about this guesthouse, so much so that I booked a different place for the remaining 2 nights. Had I known in advance I would sure save my hard earned travel money and stay clear from this place.

Booked one night when other choices not available. Pleasantly surprised with clean facilities and large comfertable common area... much better than other reviews indicate.

AustriaIt's a total disaster! We've been traveling around the island for over a week, and every night we've slept in a different hostel, but none have been as horrible as this one! They took us to a "cottage" next to the hostel (it’s an apartment with 4 rooms). When you enter, there's a large living room with a very, very dirty and old kitchen! The rooms are only separated by very thin drywall (you can hear almost every movement from the other room)! The room we stayed in is quite spacious, but there's no wardrobe to put your things in. Instead, there was a child's bed in the room (and we are three adults)...wtf We wanted to heat up a pizza in the Microwave, but it's so filthy that we stayed hungry... The shower looks awful, everything is old and dirty (and I was the first one to use the shower). The toilet is new but not very clean.

United KingdomMy room was on the first floor and the only one opening directly to the stairwell. More could be done to make it clear that it's the door to someone's room so that other guests aren't talking so loudly at night or trying to open my door when they come to check-in, presumably assuming it's the reception.
Nice private room, good views and central location in town, very close to drop off and pick up for the airport shuttle.

United StatesPoor upkeep. Both sink handles were broken (but could be used) in the shower room. The shower smelled of mildew. Articles left in shower room by previous guests were never picked up/discarded. Clean towels were not left every day in the toilet room. The toilet seat was lose and moved unsafely when a person sat on it. The bed sheet covered a duvet that looked dirty. The small pillows were "knots" of filling. Room key did not initially work and had to get help. The staff was not friendly--never a welcome, never an apology, never a thank you. We were stuck there four days.
Nor far from "downtown" so could easily walk to restaurants and other places.

IcelandDirty room with worn out pillows, duvets and covers that we opted not to use because we thankfully had our own in the car. Common area smelly and dirty. Kitchen gross and smelly. Shared bathroom unappealing with minimal signs of regular housekeeping. Showering booth had signs of what looked like mold or some kind of growth and was dirty. Guests expected to share two smelly hand towels in bathroom instead of just having a paper towel unit on the wall. And again, we noticed hardly any sign of any housekeeping during our stay other than restocking the toilet paper in the shared bathrooms. Experience felt more like a cheap hostel than a hotel that charges what this place did.
Location was ok.
