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.).

BelgiumDistance to the city center.
A beautiful building in a quiet and green area, close to the station but a bit further away from the city's center. So I think the hostel prices were correct. Not everything is up to the latest standards but I did not see that as an important issue.

United KingdomThe building was on the river in an isolated spot - I wouldn't want go walk there alone at night. It was quite institutionalised and notices about trashing rooms. Facilities were jaded and not very nice. My room had full size fridge freezer next to the bed - also something ws dripping from the ceiling onto the bed. Overall - if you can get a cheap price and want a hostel type experience - then not too bad.
The bed was comfortable and I had someone gret sleep.

AustraliaFor the entire floor, there was only 1 toilet, and 1 shower and toilet combo. I was lucky it wasn't too busy because otherwise there would have been such a large wait for the shower. The building was old, and things like the window sills really needed some maintainence. The room felt like a shoebox, literally just the bed and a desk with just enough space to open your suitcase before you reached the door
Great location not too far from the centre. The bathrooms were tidy. It's a charming but rather old building.

New ZealandMy room was advertised as a single bedroom, however when I got there it included three beds and one of them was prepped with linen just like mine which led me to wonder whether someone else would be sharing this room with me. It was late at night, no staff around, and the building though nice was large and eery.. so even though I'm comfortable sharing rooms when I intend to, this time I expected privacy and did end up having it, yet spent the entire time wondering if someone else might enter the room at any moment.
Only met one staff member, but she was exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful as we navigated google translate together.

CanadaIt was low season (end of August). No reception, self check-in and all by myself. I havent seen anyone. The ambiance was off but everything was clean. Make sure to get the wifi password before arriving there in case you need to contact the host and like me, you travel without any network to make phonecalls. They expect you to phone them upon arrival, but I travel without any network so it took 2 locals to help me phone the owner with the phone of someone local, and finally understand how to get in. There is also only one bathroom for the entire level, so I assume it must be busy during peak season.
