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 Kingdom1) The AC did not run the whole day and in the scorching heat it was impossible to sleep without an AC or a fan near the bed 2) The kitchen for the morning breakfast had dirty utensils not washed properly

United KingdomThe bedroom we stayed in was a double room for me and my friend. It was had a door window in it facing out into some land area, but no curtains on it meaning we had light coming in from there and the worry potentially people could see in. Our main door was also tinted glass, and when people would switch the hallway light on in the middle of the night our whole bedroom would light up. Some curtains on there would be better! We also had issue with the staff, we had asked multiple times if someone could come down and check our air con. The first day we arrived it work and then for the remaining time it didn’t. We also never had any hot water. We brought it up to reception, they said they was going to check but nothing was done. The guy working when we first arrived was a bit odd as well, making comments about what I was wearing. I had shorts and a jumper on it was 1am and we had just got off our flight. Making the same comment repeatedly saying it looks like I was going to the gym. What am I supposed to wear on a flight?!
It’s a lovely little hostel, in a great location, really good value for money, with a lovely breakfast which is included as well!

HungaryIt was my second time staying at Inhawi. The first time I stayed in a room next to the pool, which was clean and nice. This time I came with 3 friends, whom I recommended this accommodation. Unexpectedly, they escorted us to a room in the basement, which smelled extremely damp, there was no AC, only a fan and the storage space smelled terrible too... It would have been okay for a shorter stay, but we spent 7 nights in that room... When I asked them to put us in another room, because of one of my friends' asthma, they told us that they can only relocate her, but not all of us. I was very disappointed, as I was the one who recommended staying here.
Checking in is smooth, the pool is clean, the kitchen and the facilities are okay.

United KingdomThis is a very functional, clean and affordable place, however it is still an hostel, so if you seek rest at night it can be tricky. The cleaners were amazing, but unfortunately with so many people sharing a room and two toilets it is hard to keep up with the cleanliness. The pool is quite very small and easily crowded, however the sea is not far and hopefully you'll be able to go visit other beaches too
The location is central but still nicely nested a little away from the crowded street The staff (from reception, to cleaners) was always present, responsive and attentive The breakfast was plentiful and included in the price The garden was lovely and quiet, perfect to read or enjoy some relax away from the beating sun

ItalyThere was no air conditioning unless you go downstairs to the reception desk and ask for the remote. This was a nightly battle with the staff. They insisted the AC was turned on by their computer when in fact it was not. Uncomfortable bed. clogged drain

United KingdomWe had a inappropriate encounter in our room and the staff was completely unprofessional and dismissive towards us. No one in the hostel was concerned with the wellbeing of the people staying and including the people in the rooms. I left the hostel with a ear infection due to a pre-existing infection caused by the aircon on the whole night, although I complained multiple times to reception. A lot of the people at this hostel were older and some homeless from the area. Overall it wasn't a good experience and I didn't get any compensation for the abusive/discriminatory language used.
It was a very clean hostel and the location was central.

United Kingdomnot the most social hostel. lots of long term people staying. the metal stairs which lead to upper floor create a lot of noise during the night when people walk down them. there are lots of rules at this hostel, none of which are enforced. Most staff were disinterested and not very helpful.

VenezuelaThere should be cameras in the kitchen, some of my water bottles disappeared just like that, they have a tagging system so everyone knows who's the owner of certain things but without cameras that simply doesn't work. In the breakfast time they should add trays so it's more comfortable when it comes to get the food. In the rooms there should be more toilets (I know is something difficult to correct) but for instance in the morning is chaotic trying to go to the restroom in a room with 10 ppl and only 2 toilets it also happened that the other toilets available outside the room were busy so, take your precautions when booking.
Some of the staff members (not all of them) are angels! really helpful friendly and patient! Able to help you with everything and ask you constantly how you feel or if you need something which to me was very nice. The location is incredibly good, the view is nice and the spaces in the hostal in general were okay.

PolandThe most important for me during the stay is to sleep, however it was impossible when party is in hostel with no voice isolation. Even though in my room was only 4 people, it was noisy up to ~11:30 pm (then I fell asleep and don't know), one neighbour came with man, they were talking loudly, switched on the light (after 10pm). In the morning I saw bottles of wine in room. Overall experience were actually terrible. Dont recommend for people who want to rest, not party.
Breakfast was good, personnel very kind and helpful, very convenient localization and garden with birds singing :)

Switzerland- Super heavy atmosphere, everyone on their computer or phone in the common area, nobody talks to nobody. i think one of the reasons is because there are only two persons seats in the breakfast. - its water everywhere in the common area(living room and kitchen) during rainy days, raining inside the building. - the light in the bed is not working during my stay, i have mention to the guy in reception but they never did something.
