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 KingdomRooms did look different to pictures, much more simple (no plants etc), which was fine. There is also only one shower per floor which got a bit tight and very short on fridge space.
Good sized room and good communication via the app with the staff Clean kitchen Good location, easy walk to the harbour and lots of nice food options nearby

SwitzerlandThere are many stairs and if you have a room upstairs it‘s very hard to get it into your room. Some showers are very small and have no mirrors. They need more facilities like cuttlery, bowls etc. They don‘t have a washing machine which is very sad. There is also no reception. Communication is trough the goki app. So that means that mostly can do whatever they want, because nobody is reading the messages in the main chat.
The location is perfect. It‘s in Kings Cross/Potts Point and just a 5 min. walk to the train station. This area has a lot of coffee shops, groceries, restaurants and a lot more. Close to other public transports. Rooms are getting cleaned every day.

BelgiumThe checkin, maybe make it more simple or easy to find the reception.
It was a very big building full with bathrooms and rooms. But I had difficulty checking in and then finding my room was not as easy. They were super helpful. The showers were all really clean. The room was very basic but comfy beds.

New ZealandDidnt feel very lively for a hostel, more so the kind of place that people live temporarily whilst in Sydney as opposed to a travelers hostel, no staff present/in person to assist although they were available online through an app. Most showers didnt have locks and/or door wouldnt shut so needed some maintenance.
Beds were comfy, rooms were clean! Location was perfect too. Would be good if you need a place in between getting a flat in Sydney and traveling.

NetherlandsThey only had really tiny plates? That was kind of annoying. And the shower pressure was off but it was fine.
I was supposed to stay in Lillou but eventually stayed at Potts Point across the road; I liked the bed and the curtains! The view in the room was amazing! Beds were comfortable, and great location.

AustraliaGoki app to check in doesn't have the front door code. We paid for the 24th date, arrived the next day, 25th morning to check in. It was not mentioned that a front door code is provided. So we were waiting infront of the door, calling the staff but they were not available until 10am, good thing someone came in so we were able to get in. Not a smooth check-in process. Also, not enough toilets and shower. One toilet doesn't have lock. Front area is full of luggages, not a good thing to see as it looks not clean.
