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 KingdomFirst of all , the picture on the profile of the hotel is completely fake, it has no view to the river at all. There’s only 2 toilets for the whole hostel guests .one of them has broken door which doesn’t luck so when I was sitting in the toilet a guy opened the door and saw me 🤦🏻♀️ also when somebody else was taking a shower I opened the door and saw him naked. The room was so cold , I’ve caught a very bad cold and couldn’t enjoy rest of my trip. When I told the hostel owner. He refused and acted like he doesn’t know, but he knew very well . He said the room temperature should be 19 and no more than that and it’s a rule but the other girls had told him the previous nights , it was much colder the other nights (obviously less than 19 degrees) He was so rude and told me go write whatever you want for the review, I’ll answer you. I know he’s gonna write bunch of lies for my answer but I needed to mention it anyway so other people won’t be trapped in this place.

United StatesThe entire stay I was bitten by bed bugs, 3 days in a row, bitten all over my body. They were living inside the matress that were uncomfortable. The furniture is filled with bugs, unhealthy to stay in. It was I don't care attitude when I mentioned it to the receptionist. They couldn't do anything to help me. The owners responsibility is to send an expert to the fumigation company. I was supposed to stay 4 days and left at the third day cause of being bitten at night. I paid for a clean, safe, healthy place to sleep and stay. No excuses! Not tolerable! The electric socket the whole thing was completely out of the case, showing all the wires. It's a fire hazard! It was supposed to be venice, a beautiful place to visit and to remember. I would never go back!pictures are of the room, and the bed bugs crawling on the bed. The bathroom was large, but the shower stalled, and they fell out when you showered. No soap to shower, nothing was given to the customer. You have to $ for it! The first pic is of the outlet, only one outlet to share for 4 people, and it hangs out of the wall. Unbelievable! It's the owner, not the workers who are there trying their best. But the owner doesn't care! This a place should be inspected!
It was a good location, but I didn't want to wonder alone at night. It has a kitchen. It was close to the bridge about a 10-minute walk.

SwitzerlandBeds were bad. The room didn't smell so good and it was impossible to open the window because of the noise and the mosquitos. On the way to the shared bathroom you could either tip over a detached carpet or cut your toes with some broken tiles.
The only positive thing was the location, but it was also very extremely loud because of people walking, talking, dinning on the street. Having a fan was good, not fresh air but at least it could be "moved around"

Ukrainehigh staircase, be prepared for the fact that you will have to lift your luggage yourself, there is a fan in the room, but in the summer it is still very stuffy, the mosquitoes will not give you peace, and if you close the windows it is hot, there is a chance that in the morning you will wake up and your whole body may be sprinkled with mosquito bites

FranceFirst: the commodities. Only one bathroom and one Toilet for 4 dorms between 3 and 6 beds/dorm. I let you do the math but spoiler alert, it does not work. Second: the room. No lockers, no proper storage. Third: the bed. There was bed bugs in it!!! Fourth: the kitchen. It was disguting with moist and perished food everywhere. Fifth: the Hostel in general was not clean at all.
Nothing, the worst Hostel experience I have ever had.

United KingdomThis is a scandal. 20/09/2023 I arrived at Al botei hostel at 12. They asked me to check in at 14:00 because my room is not ready. I left my luggage and left. At 2:00 p.m. the gentleman gave me the key and when I entered the room it turned out that the room had not been cleaned and my bed had been used. The gentleman asked for 5 minutes and gave me a new sheet, I don't know if the pillow was changed. Generally, all beds were empty but unmade. When I returned from sightseeing to the hotel around 10 p.m., it turned out that I had three other cool companions in the room. I went to sleep. I woke up at night because mosquitoes were biting me. On the morning of 21/09/2023 I checked out at 8:30 and went sightseeing. Itching all day and the plane ride back to England was nice, but 12 of the bites were itchy. I have small wounds where pus is coming out of my skin. This morning, September 22, 2023, it turned out that I was bitten by bedbugs. these are very red bites dangerous to health. Who knows, maybe I left some stray passengers during the plane flight. Today I spent 5 hours cleaning the apartment, washing bedding and clothes from the trip. I am asking for an investigation into the current case. I'm ready to report it. Scandal. Dirty and broken kitchen. disgusting Please close that place.
