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 KingdomThis is a comfortable and very social backpacker hostel with fun staff that speak brilliant english. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning is wonderful. The restaurant is very expensive so I was unable to try what looked to be great food! If you are on a budget like me there are many amazing cheap places within a 5 minute walk. There is also a convenient moto rental shop opposite the hostel for $5 per day. The only issues I had with this hostel is that the wifi is quite slow, the bathrooms have no hot water and bad water pressure, and there are frequent power outages. Other than that I would recommend this hostel.

PolandWhen asked if I could use yoga studio space for my practice, I was told that I can rent it for $5 per hour. I understand that this is the policy of the place but I found it weird considering that I was staying there, as well as using restaurant services. WIFI was not bad but could be better.
The room was comfortable and clean. It was nice to have a restaurant with healthy vegan options downstairs. The location is great - very close to the centre of Kampot.

United KingdomIn house prices for food and drink could be much cheaper, I didn't like having to go out for better deals, I'd have preferred to give them my money lol Chairs could be comfier too, maybe cushions? I'd have loved to have worked from the cafe more, but it just wasn't very comfortable, ie hard benches.
Excellent staff, fantastic chilled vibe, clean, cheap yet classy. Great spot in town, close to supermarket, bike rental, bus station, and the river, with all the restaurants and bars you need.

CambodiaLittle bit squishy at reception, wasn’t sure where reception was at first. Also there needs to be a blackout curtain or the likes in the superior suite, hard to sleep with that glass backing and wooden curtain. With all lights off and late at night the room was so bright like it was still daytime.
Food was amazing craft beers amazing great location.
