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.).

MyanmarI was disappointed with the rooftop kitchen. It would be good if there were a microwave and a decent stovetop cooker. It makes it easier for guests to heat food and make quick meals
Staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us to call Grabs and print documents. Great location - walking distance to many historic places downtown. I love the focus of The Hood as a social enterprise.

United KingdomLots of issues with cleanliness, including rat droppings in the hostel. Some parts of the hostel clearly haven’t been cleaned in a long time. The bathroom is run down, floods, smells bad and one of the taps stopped working whilst I was there. Lockers are very small.
The staff were great. Always friendly and willing to help with any issues. They were able to advise where the nearest money exchange with good rates was, and also helped when I had issues with the room. Beds are comfortable and have privacy curtains, and charging sockets near the bed. The hostel has few issues with electricity dropping out unlike the rest of Myanmar. Breakfast was very good too.

GermanySome of the self-conscious graphics are a bit much and could be toned down; the white-on-white-on-white act shows dirt and stains. Still, it has the feel of a well-branded identity and social commitment. No elevator--with the steep staircase, pity the fool who carries heavy luggage, Hood might consider installing a cardio-defibrillator on the landing and stair slide to shoot the coronary cases down to the waiting ambulances. The dorm rooms could use a few coat hooks and slightly larger lockers. Communal bathrooms have some design flaws; they could use a good cleaning to rid the mildew, and please dump the concrete sink thing—a lousy idea from the start.
The dormitory set-up is good, with super comfortable bed mattresses, cozy space boxes, and quiet, sensical lighting. I might think twice about 'good' if the large dorm rooms were full because there isn't space between bed boxes.; your neighbor's flatulence would be not only an aural extra but a fragrance bouquet. The staff is super friendly and accommodating to the customer’s needs. There is a good, positive attitude amongst the employees. They seem happy to be there. The cats in the reception are good value, one curmudgeon and one mischief maker. Cocktails in the ground floor bar are good value, and decent food is served. Lots of greenery out front.
