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 StatesHowever it was very cold. Only a stand alone electric heater that really did not warm anything. The blankets are thin. Room one door was not labeled. Hard to get ahold of someone. Though do not believe it was meant to be heard saying damn before hanging up. It was said. There is a bus station in front of property or something that announced stuff all day. Which would have not been bad if I did not work night shift. Blinds broke so very bright in room. Someone could not get in front door so banged on front door which is right by room 1. Needless to say I did not sleep well.
The room was nice.Had its own bathroom.

United StatesThe neighborhood has a little to be desired at night and all night long marijuana smoke was wafting into the room. The room itself was extremely dirty and thankfully I had extra blankets in my car that I could use as sheets for the bed. There were no towels or even towel hooks. I wore my shoes around the apartment, because the floors were so dirty. I understand the price was low, but this is a little beyond basic for a place on booking.com.
It was inexpensive for the area and I could at least get a shower and charge my phone. It is close to everything in the reading area.

United StatesThere were many things. Sheet on bed had a disgusting big white stain on it that didn’t look so good, bunk beds weren’t very nice looking, windows don’t lock, bedroom door and front door look like somebody could easily kick in and get in, there should be more things given in the room like more blankets, pillows, towels, hand soap, toilet paper. It should have a dedicated parking lot or parking garage spot. I had parked in a little parking lot near the building and had another person staying in the house ask me if i was parked there and proceeded to tell me they were about to tow my vehicle. I went out and there was no two truck and a tow truck never showed up. I decided i had enough so i packed my room a day early and had left. The room could’ve been a little cleaner. Also when I had gotten there my friend had pointed out that underneath the bed was kind of broken.
The room had plenty of space for clothes along with a decent sized tv.

United StatesIt's located in the worst town in the world, and the listing is deceptive, because it is not a dormitory for ANYTHING, it's a townhouse filled with bunk beds in a ghetto where no one has gone to work in 50 years.
