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.).

United KingdomThe only thing I could think of is that it is a slight walk from main city areas and the keys could be a bit awkward with the bathroom door in particular but this wasn't a large problem.
It's a very stylish, modern property with a rustic feel and hot drinks available all day. Private rooms and bathrooms make it stress-free and the kitchen/living room is open-plan and very light and airy so it all felt very spacious and comfortable. Cris was lovely and very helpful and accomodating, explaining everything for me and giving recommendations and directions that were very useful. I felt safe and able to relax.

United StatesNothing to say here.
It is centrally located in easy walking distance to many sites. The room was very nice, as were the shared areas. Everything was very clean. Looks like they are doing renovations on some of the hostel. I had a private room with a bath. The hostel is nice and quiet. There are supermarkets and plenty of food places in the area. The owner was always quickly responsive to any messages that I sent her, including recommendations on where to go.

AustraliaSome of the guests kept forgetting to close the elevator/lift doors when leaving which meant having to use steep stairs to climb down as it prevented the elevator from being able to come back up. Some instructions to guests on the use of the lift would be advisable. The toilet also had issues flushing and there was a stale smell in the room. But none of this impacted our stay to the extent that we were not happy.
So conveniently located in a great neighbourhood in the centre of bustling Buenos Aires! We felt safe walking around the area from morning to night. We were lucky enough to have room 12 which was separate from the other rooms and felt like a unit all of our own. The staff were so helpful from the very beginning, Juan, Cristina and Yanina were in contact with us via email and whatsapp and gave very clear directions for gaining entry and arranging after hours access to our room due to late arrival from the flight. We found it to be very cost effective and allowed for our preferred option of having an independent stay with cooking/kitchen facilities on hand to self cater if we wished. It was very quiet and not like a typical hostel, everyone was very respectful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

United States- We had some twists while checking in. On booking, it says the checkin starts from 11:30, we arrived at the exact time but couldn’t enter the main entrance of the building. Because the hotel is actually on 3rd floor of a building, which needs code to enter. We waited outside for like 10 minutes (the weather is a bit cold), and the owner replied. I would suggest contact them through WhatsApp first, then you don’t have to go through this. (Also, the owner tried to contacted me through WhatsApp, but the number I left on booking isn’t the one I use for WhatsApp, so it added another twist) - They asked paying in cash, in dollars or euros. They accept pesos too, but if you pay in pesos, you have to pay 21% more for including Tax. Though we know on booking.com that we need to pay in cash, but it doesn’t say they accept dollars and euros mainly and that if you pay in pesos, they’ll charge more. We exchange a decent amount of pesos but ended in not being able to use it, it didn’t feel good. - The private bathroom is not attached in the room we stayed, it’s another room in front of ours, which is a bit inconvenient. Also there were bugs (around 5) during our stay there.
- I like the decorations, which makes people feel chill. I also like their small lounge & kitchen area, you can cook (they have pans, pods, utensils, plates fridge) and enjoy the view through the French windows. (The only thing I would mentioned is the microwave function a bit weirdly, you have to try a little bit to make it work. Once you figured it out, it works 80% of the time) - The owner fixed problem soon. They have water system issues (no cold water but only extreme hot water), but got fixed right away when we reported.

They even refused to talk to us in person and wouldn’t even let us inside the apartment while many homeless people loitering around the property. DO NOT RENT AT THIS PROPERTY!!!

United StatesNothing much not to like! We thought we might bump into more travelers in the common spaces to connect, but it was a VERY sleepy hostel when we were there, and honestly felt like a hotel. So, I guess that was the main thing missing from the experience for me! It could have been a bit cleaner, but also I know these old buildings are tough to get all the way clean after many, many years of use.
In our initial room (we paid for a private room), the AC wasn't working. When we told the host, we were moved to the room across the hall which was a lot larger and the AC worked great! Pretty comfortable bed and this new room gave us plenty of space to unpack a bit as we stayed for 6 nights. The common space was very cute and had most kitchen essentials if you wanted to make a meal there. We didn't attempt a meal so I can't say for sure. It looked like they were getting a second level of common space ready as well - still a bit unfinished. Communication with the hosts was easy via WhatsApp and they were helpful with a few minor requests. Great value.
