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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Czech RepublicThe kitchen in the basement was quite scary for me, and no terrace to drink a cup of tea on (but we are talking about the very centre, this is not so important)
Great location - indeed very central but calm and I felt safe. The hostel was clean, enough space everywhere. I was so tired, so the bed seemed comfortable :-D The bar at the lobby was nice. And the big lockers were already in place! You need a padlock 🔐

United KingdomNothing. I would just suggest to wear light bed clothes as rooms do get warm.
Great location. 10min tube from London St pancreas and a 10min walk to the hostel. Very easy to find. Best hostel experience ever! Clean, every comfortable and we had huge fans to keep us cool at night as can get hot on dorm rooms. Bathroom clean and has soap. Has luggage storage, kitchen and washing facilities.

TurkeyThere is no locker inside the rooms (4 people) even though I do not have many things with me I prefer to lock my belongings. They said that I can put my my valuable things (camere, PCs etc) to check in points.
Just behind the Oxford Street very central place. You can reach Trafalgar Square by walking. There is a Tesco Express just 5 minutes walk. The employees are helpful.

China1. Shower head cannot be fixed. Show box is a little bit small. 2. Almost no storage box for each one in the room to keep belongings.
1. Good location, close to Great Portland Street Station, and Warren Street Station is also not far away. 2. Tesco and Sainsbury are nearby as well as some restaurants. 3. Kitchen is very large. It’s comfortable to cook some meals.

It was 10 mins walk from work. It was very clean, liked that the shower & toilet were separate in the room with enough space. Decent quilt compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in.

Spain-There is a bathroom in the room, however, it's not enough so there is still one available shared in the same floor however in the ground-floor it was closed and not able to use during my stay. the bathroom could be improved... -the room smelled and felt humid, in the ground-floor at least it has no windows. -no hostel environment at all, actually families, groups, etc -the space is small for many beds, so not enough space to leave everyones luggages and stuff
Location is absolutely great. The staff was nice, except for a man during the night shift.
