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 one evening meal that I had would have been improved with a larger portion size. However for 10€, this did provide good value for money, especially for arrival night
All staff were very helpful. The hostel and dormitory room were clean and comfortable. The breakfast options were varied and of high quality.

GermanyThe staff did not tell me what time breakfast ended, so I missed breakfast. They told me I could stay at the cafe until 11 after check out, but mentioned nothing about breakfast times. The cleaning staff also opened the door to my room a few minutes before my check out time to start cleaning, but I was coincidentally on my way out, anyways. However, it did startle me and it would be better to tell them to knock or give a verbal warning for anyone who might be a bit jumpy when it comes to strangers popping up into their hotel room randomly. But these two complaints wouldn't stop me from staying here again.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The man running the cafe was very nice and the cafe food tasted good. The hotel left it's doors open late and briefed me in how to get in after they closed their doors for the night. My room had a locker in it, which I felt extra secure storing my items in. The bathroom was very clean and the towels were nicely presented. They left some fliers and chocolates in the room, which left a great impression on me.

BelgiumLocation is not ideal, as it is 45 minutes walk to city centre or a tram. At night, there is nothing to do around the hostel (in winter, I think there are summer bars), and no shops, so take that in account.
Good beds and rooms have a private shower. The breakfast was good as well, quite a bit of choices.

NetherlandsFree wi-fi only lasted an hour at a time and slowed considerably the more a lot of people tried to use it.
I was new to that part of Cologne. The staff at the front desk went above and beyond to help find the location I was there to visit. Also, it was a very secluded and green location, even with it being in the middle of the city.

PolandTo get towels you have to pay for them which is very suprising and frustrating No shower gel. Even in basis form which is dissapointing
breakfast was basic but ok. Enough for me. Coffee was ok. Room was just enough to spend a night and work a little. Nothing more and nothing less then I expected. Lack of towels was a bit disapointing.
