Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

SpainSelf check-in system (tricky with Spanish spelling if you happen to have accents in your name, the machine does not have them). Dark room. I missed not having a little mirror.
Location. Nice, quiet atmosphere. Easy to contact managing people for any issue through Booking.com

DenmarkNo staff, the only "staff" were a couple of people staying there who got paid to spend a few hours cleaning and making the bed of people who checked out. Only two toilets for everyone to share Most of the doors for some reason has a few centimeter tall gap to the floor, meaning insects can get in everywhere meaning you will wake up with 25 mosquito bites.
Nice cozy little place with nice people staying there

GermanyThere was nearly all the time french music in the kitchen or at the pool. Kitchen was not really clean and not enough tea towels, only directly after cleaning. In addition the laundry needs five times a one dollar coin which we did not have and the reception could not give us.
AC in the rooms, Pool and a luggage room where we could store our luggage while we were on a tour through the centre. Good for a night before you start your trip.

Australiathe rooms could be better organised and decorated. there wasn't a reception service and unfortunately some guests took advantage of it and treated the hostel as if it was their own house, leaving the kitchen and bathrooms in a horrible state and making it feel a bit uncomfortable for those who wanted to use the common areas or wanted peace and privacy. being also a place for long-term hosts, it would have been nicer to feel more at ease. hopefully other guests will be more lucky next time!
perfectly located next to the town centre and the main attractions. the place is suitable for long term stay and the swimming pool is a bonus. the owner of hostel wasn't there, but she managed to assist me at the arrival, which was truly appreciated.

AustraliaRECEPTION: The reception is unattended. We stayed here for 4 nights in total, one night before heading to Uluru then when we came back cause' some hostels were fully booked. When we checked in using the automated kiosk, our room key didn't drop needing to call support number and it took couple of minutes to be sorted. Most people are having trouble checking-in using the kiosk specially some older people that we and other guests around needs to give a hand. KITCHEN: (1 KITCHEN) In a dire state. It's a mess! As usual, some backpackers don't know how to clean after themselves but because of the lack of staff for regular cleaning it's left unattended. Someone cooked a fish some kind of sort and the kitchen was flooded with FLIES. Can't find a insect killers around so I needed to get my own insect spray in my car to spray to get rid of the flies. We also saw a mouse lurking around the kitchen. TOILET: (3 TOILETS) Working well but at the end of the day when being used multiple times, they will beg for some attention. SHOWER: (4 SHOWERS) Works just fine, with Hot and Cold H2O. PARKING: There is private parking that can accommodate 8 cars in total. If your car is blocked to get out, you need to find the other driver to move their car. There are padlocks in 2 car gates with codes.
If you want a quieter place nestled a bit further from town centre. This place is perfect. I love the trees in the property which made the stay more relaxing and peaceful. Han the cleaner is the only staff who is in-house, really helpful and nice! Security coded gates to get in.

AustraliaThere were rats in the kitchen… moving from bag to bag eating peoples food during the night…perhaps need to provide tubs/lockers for safekeeping of dry goods, and a stronger spring to keep security door into kitchen closed might help?
Quiet but still very convenient to town. Safe place to put car at night, secure. Although no manager on site, check in was seamless, and they were super-helpful when I got locked out of my room late one night, saved me spending a night in my car!
