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 StatesCarob is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! Super comfy beds, so many areas to hang out and chill, close location to old part of the city and historical sights, super friendly staff… the list goes on. The family dinner was a super special touch and worked really well to bring everyone together - I met so many people in a 3 day stay at Carob. Thanks again you guys! I will definitely be back.

I rarely leave reviews but honestly this one really deserves it. Such friendly staff and so welcoming, they sent information about the hostel and travelling Jordan as soon as I booked which made me feel so much more at ease, especially as a female solo traveller. They arrange tours that are such good value and gave me the opportunity to meet others in the hostel too. The location is perfect (up a big hill, you can get a cheap uber if you don’t want to walk but I didn’t mind the short hike!) and so close to the main downtown. Decor of the hostel is really cute and artsy and though I visited in the winter I can imagine the outdoor courtyards and terrace are amazing in the summer. I really want to come back!

United StatesCarob is a fantastic place to stay in Amman! Hot showers, laundry machines available to use with a small fee, restaurant if you'd like to buy brekkie/coffee, and walkable to downtown and the Citadel. More importantly, the staff at Carob is amazing - extremely friendly and helpful! Abed helped me plan out my trip to Petra and Wadi Rum through Jett bus and saved me a ton of money not having to book a private tour or driver. Communication with the team was easy via WhatsApp and I couldn't be more grateful, thank you for making my time in Amman smooth and delightful!

You can buy breakfast or dinner at the hostel, but at the end of the street the neighborhood is full of choices. The hostel offers so many services, left luggage, modem for WIFI, tours, help finding services, guides, and how to get around.

GermanyThe bathrooms and chill areas were cold, messy, and not very clean.
The area was nice and quiet, which I liked. The hill to get there is steep, so sometimes you need a taxi. Overall, it was a good experience. The hotel was a bit cold, and the bathrooms weren’t very clean, maybe because of the other guests. I just wish the private rooms had their own bathrooms. Still, I was happy with my stay

IndonesiaThere few things can be improved moving forward, but my long stay was pleasant. I had convey my concern directly to the staff for easy action and recommendations.
I like that the facility organizes 'family dinner' on saturday. A simple food but it tasted yummy. The staff are nice and very friendly and helpful. It very organize and professional type of running a business. Meeting a lot of people from different parts of the world. A good place for meeting with people and exchange cultural experiences.
