Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesBathrooms were dirty and smelly. Toilets smelled like pee, showers were not clean & Hair everywhere. The floor in front of the showers was wet and the shelves too small. if you drop your clothes you’ll have to wear something wet. one of our bed had bedbugs. We did not get an apology nor any compensation. they got very defensive saying “that can’t be we clean well” (Even showed them the bed and the legs that where covered in bites.) On top of that we had to pay for the towel we needed to shower off the bed bugs. Even without the bedbugs, worst hostel I’ve been to.

IsraelThey lock the common areas at 2am until the morning. This was not made clear (quite the contrary, the booking.com listing states there is a shared lounge/common area, and they have a booklet next to the elevator that says it is open 24h). It screwed up my wife's internatinal buisness meeting. Also don't count on late-night snacking; you are only allowed to eat in the common areas (which, again, they close without telling you in advance). The Wifi barely worked in the room. Kept disconnecting, and even when it didn't it was very slow. They do not have a shoe rack or anything of the sort in the enterance, so everyone just hangs with their dirty stinky shoes inside the shared rooms. The pub/bistro was never open, photos are misleading.q

CanadaYou have to make your own bed with flat sheets they give you even for the pillow. My bed and blankets were super stinky (I guess some people didn't use the flat sheets correctly). Bathroom not the cleanest. Location is not ideal for a first time in Taichung you are far from main attractions.
Commun areas are great to socialize. It's the cheapest stay in Taichung.

FranceUnfortunately, the cleanliness and overall experience in the room were very disappointing. We checked in at 2 a.m. and found the shower in a poor state: hair everywhere, water all over the floor, creating a puddle. Even by the next morning, nothing had been cleaned. Additionally, we had to put the sheets on ourselves, which was quite inconvenient after a long journey, especially at 2 a.m. when we didn’t want to make noise and disturb other guests. The bathroom also lacked proper storage, making it difficult to hang clothes, and the risk of them falling into the puddle was high. What was even more concerning was that the hairdryers were placed dangerously close to the floor, with some lying in stagnant water. This is a serious safety hazard, as the plugs were exposed and the dryers weren’t mounted to the wall.
The hotel looks beautiful and has a lot of potential. One of the biggest highlights is the staff—they are incredibly attentive and truly adorable. They go out of their way to help and make your stay pleasant, which is a huge plus.

NetherlandsThe bed we had to make up ourselves were very small. The pillowcase was like a napkin so when you move a little bit during your sleep you end up sleeping on a dirty pillow without pillow sheet. That was very inconvenient. The toilets were smelly all the time.
The location is good and the bistro is pretty. The neighborhood is nice in the evenings and there is a busstop in front of the hostel

MalaysiaHowever, the cleanliness can be improved. We definitely got a bug bite. Keep in mind they don't wash the sheets instead they give you pieces of cloth to layer over 😢
We like how accessible it is to the bus station. Right smack infront of the premise 👍🏼 the night market is also behind the premise.
