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 KingdomIt’s very very dirty. I booked a private room and it had no door! Just a curtain! The bathrooms were horrendous with overflowing dirty water. The kitchen was a mess and had not been cleaned in a while. I told staff and they said the cleaner was on holiday.

CanadaI booked a double bed and was given a bed in a 10 bed dorm room. When asked why I have been given a bed in a dorm they said I have booked a two person room and only checked in one person and they didn’t think I should get the double bed. I explained that it was a an option on the booking.com and I payed for the double bed room, they apologized and changed my room. washroom was not clean and there were no soap available and the sink had some green herb looking things in it and it was dirty. room didn’t have a door so I would hear a lot of noise coming from the hallway and the bathroom as it was right next to the bathroom. It was around 6am in the morning, when I woke up to the sound of phone call and heard the person in the next room started talking to someone of the phone. I could hear everything as the rooms are not soundproof. later on I realized that it was the owner who was on the phone. When asked why wouldn’t he go outside to speak on the phone, his answer was these room are half private and that it is ok to speak on the phone despite it is early in the morning. I let him know that it is a common courtesy not to speak on the phone this early as others are trying to get some sleep. He apologized.
it was close to the touristic places such as bars and restaurants and other attractions.

AustriaNot a big deal, but the squeaky door at the last floor should be fixed. It disturbs during sleep time.
It was our first time in Nepal/Kathmandu. We arrived at Trekkers Hostel and the staff there was very friendly and welcoming us. You immediately build a good relationship with the owners and they are very helpful. They also organise trekking tours at very good prices and take care of all the organisation - highly recommended!
