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...).

SpainI booked for 4 nights, my flight was landing at midnight in Rome and I was going to arrive at the accommodation between 1-2 am. I informed my arrival time to the accommodation. The first night was booked and paid. I gave notice of my arrival and asked them to provide me with the access code and hide the keys so I could access on my arrival and the only solution they gave me was to wait until 10.00 am or they would provide me with another accommodation on the same street but I had to pay another 35 euros, so I declined. Conclusion: as they did not provided me with a code or keys I could not sleep in the accommodation the first night and I did not get my money back. In addition, there is a lot of noise during the night and poor cleanliness.

TurkeyIt wasn't clean enough. Especially the bathroom wasn't being cleaned properly. Maybe you could stay for one day, but I struggled to stay for 4 nights. It wasn't suitable for someone who values cleanliness. The rooms were small and cramped.

AustriaI arrived in the middle of the night and was asked to call 10 minutes in advance. But although I called as asked, nobody was there when I arrived at the hostel. I had to call again and had to wait another 15 minutes outside in the stairwell. Fortunately my roommates had not been asleep... The room had 4 electric sockets behind the 4 beds, which were hardly reachable from the upper bed. Also just 2 of them were working, which I didn't notice when I arrived. Therefore my phone didn't charge over night and I had to wait for it in the morning. The light switch in the bathroom was also an issue, we had to be very careful using it while not receiving an electric shock. The upper beds have no storage or shelf, the lower beds have one nightstand each. No individual light, USB etc at the beds. I missed hooks in the bathroom, obviously they had been removed because the holes were still there. Our room had a tiny fridge which did not seem to work properly. Therefore the fridge in the main area was stuffed. The kettle should be cleaned more often: I had to remove a thick white layer of limestone before using it. The elevator is very small and sometimes does not stop at the right floor, pushing the button AFTER the door had closed seemed to help. But therefore you have to wait even longer for the elevator.
The hostel is very close to any kind of public transport (metro,bus,railway). The room+bathroom were clean, fortunately my room faced an inner light yard so I only heard part of the restaurant noise downstairs. Sheets and towels were provided and were changed after 2 nights. I liked that only females were allowed. The beds were comfortable. Each lady has her own locker with its key, located in the hallway. The room was equipped with 1 desk, 1 chair, 1 closet with 8 hangers, 2 nightstands (for 4 people) and 1 small chest to put in some shoes or bags. In the bathroom was a hairdryer and a small rack for the towels. Water pressure and temperature were good. Shower curtain looked rather new. Main area: I liked the tiny kitchen area with a kettle, Nespresso coffee machine and fridge. Plastic cups, spoons, black tea and even Zwieback bread is provided. I never found capsules for the coffee machine though. I guess you just have to take them with you. I went back home rather late so I could leave my luggage at the partner hostel very close by (appr. 5 min walk) at no extra cost. Thank you again!

NetherlandsIt was way too expensensive for what you get... I was not satisfied with the communication from the owners and the room. The room was small and I didn't have a plug connection next to the bed so had to charge it in the bathroom (which is a risk of stealing)
It is fine to sleep there for 1 night.The location was perfect, if you need to go to the station.

Denmark1. Be aware, you have to stay outside waiting for long and no answer telephone,because they are not there always even if they say åben time is from 9:30. Many people experienced the same,og the staff say også selv, that it is normal for their guests waiting. 2. I moved from other place to Guesthouse Alex, but it was even worse actually - small room, luggage everywhere... No place to sit down for eating or for public use in this hostel, the only place you have is your bed . 3. The sheet is not very clean. 4. The drain in the Bathroom is blocked.

Disgusting attitude.!! Also nowhere written that on the 1st floor work nightclub !and very noisy until 3 am, can not sleep.!!! Constant noise, it's like a passageway !!!Also, nowhere in the photo did I see mold and dirt, but it is there. Also there is no kitchen no place to drink tea , just in the aisle is a refrigerator and a kettle and that's it!

Met some really great friends while staying here for 4 nights. Great communication before arrival & very clean bathrooms(cleaned daily) (all girls dorm) comfy beds & secure lockers. Even tho there was no traditional kitchen, they still had a fridge, kettle and cutlery so shopping at the deli, it was easy to make sandwiches in the room. Walking distance to all the major sights, even in the heat, or there is a bus stop close by. Highly recommend, very affordable for Rome & wish I could have stayed longer.

BelgiumThe shower stall could be a bit more cleaner and this stay is not an option for people who want a good night sleep because of the bar downstairs. The main entrance is always open so felt a bit not secure. The charger socket with stuck between the beds and was difficult to access.
The stay is easily accessible location from Termini and there are nearby bus stops and metro accessible by walk in 5 minutes, also restaurants are nearby. There is a lift in the building for easy access.
