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...).

United StatesQuiet hours are not well enforced, people will be partying and be very loud well past midnight. The showers are pretty bad; they will only stay hot for 30 seconds at a time before turning ice cold for a few minutes. The food is not good, but it is not a restaurant so can’t really put that against them.
Really comfy rooms at the hostel. Every bed has private curtains and staff are excellent. Has laundry (paid), which is quite rare in hostels. Very clean showers and toilets. Big kitchen with lots of dishes available.

HungaryWe booked 4 beds in a dormitory room, we expected that each of us would get one single bed, and we would stay with 2 other people (4 ppl in total), turns out each bed is a double bed for 2 people, so, in total we are staying with 6 other travelers, (8 in total with us). The room is very small for 8 people.
Huge + Well-Equipped kitchen, The location is close to the black sand beach + nice view from the kitchen, Very modern interior design. Very Clean

IndiaNo locks on the doors and very limited place for luggage. Literally the only down side of this hostel.
The place was fantastic!!!! Excellent kitchen with good amount of pot and pans etc. Good atmosphere. Great location, very close to Vik but the feel of being right out in the middle of no where. Friendly staff and a very cute dog.

FranceEverything was perfect. During the check in we had a pleasant surprise that we got an upgrade for a private room instead of the dorm. The room was really clean, warm. The beds were comfy and the shared bathroom was clean and functional. The shared kitchen us well furnished with several tables and a nice view to the mountains. In the entrance they offer flavored water. Private parking is available.

The Barn in Vik is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The design yet cozy atmosphere creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxing getaway. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure our stay was nothing short of fantastic. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the breathtaking surroundings. The location is ideal, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape and easy access to nearby attractions. I highly recommend The Barn to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Vik!
