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...).

BelgiumAccording to the reviews, I walked to the other site just for check in, which turned out to be unnecessary as the key was online? key. Would have been better with a clear notice ahead as it's hard to carry luggage all by yourself on rocky road of brussels.
Common room was nice. Right next to Grand palace, perfect location. Key was online which is nice but also not comfy to travelers who just arrived and might be having issue with wifi connection.

United KingdomCheck-in process was a bit confusing. You don't have to go to the other location to check-in anymore, it's all completely online. And you need your smartphone with you at all times. Also, no assigned beds.. so if you're particular about upper/lower bunks, try to check-in as soon as possible and "reserve" your spot by making the bed and leaving some clothes on the bed itself. And don't forget to drop off the sheets/towels in the laundry baskets on your way out!
Great location, cleanliness, spacious room, comfortable bed

SwedenIt was confusing that I needed to go somewhere else to get my card key, around 15 minuets from the hostel by foot. It should have been stated in the website that I need to get my card key from another location first.
I liked the location since it was in the central and the kitchen had the things I needed.

ItalyCheck in place is way to far, especially if you are coming late at night, it was quite scary to walk all the way from one hostel to another. Codes for keys are not functioning properly, I spent over 20min to unlock the box. For additional night price was way to higher on their reception then on booking. No luggage deposit

FranceIt could've been easier and less confusing for the client if they had a receptionist or at least responsible staff in the hotel.
Everything was clean, and far from outdated. The shared bathroom in the room was also pretty nice and clean. There was some tea and coffee that was up for grabs in the kitchen alongside a large fridge to store food and some kitchen utensils. The staff at the reception at their bigger hotel was a lovely person.

GermanyThere's no reception in the hostel, the reception is on another building and you reach it by pubic transportation. I couldn't lock my locker with the padlock I own because it was too small and I couldn't get one in the hostel since there's no reception, I didn't want to go back to the main building just for that
Location was great, rooms were well equipped and comfortable. Shower and toilette are inside the room.

LatviaIt gets crowded in a room with 6 people. Unfortunately, we also got a room that had a much smaller bathroom area (only single sink and mirror, apparently in some other rooms there are bigger bathrooms). Main issues really came with bathroom - the shower smelled a bit funny like old water, the shower is really inconvenient to use because you have to keep pressing the button for water. And the lights for toilet and shower had sensors in the part with sink, so sometimes while showering, you’d be left in dark. Would have been cool to have a mirror somewhere in the room
The location is really great - you live less than a minute walk away from the Grand Place, if you’re interested in the night life, many bars are nearby as well, supermarket was like 3 minutes away, cafes and so on. Also really close to Brussels Centraal train station. The kitchen was nice and cosy. The only encounter with staff we mainly had was with reception staff, they were super friendly and nice.
