Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

FinlandIt was cold in the room and cold water in the evening. In the neighbor room somebody smoke maybe kannabis (sweet smell) and it was forbidden all kind of smoking in the rooms. The smell come to our room through the toilet ventilation. We told about that to reception and he went to neighbor room and gave a warning to the guest of neighbor room.
Location was good and beautiful old house. In the morning warm water.

United KingdomThe room is not soundproof and well insulated so it is a bit cold and noisy at times but given the price paid we were happy.
The location is perfect, the property sits in the central of Barcelona, allowing easy access to most landmarks and the old town. We felt safe walking around at night time and totally enjoyed the neighbourhood around the hotel.

HungaryI would probably be happy to go back if it was not for the noise and cold. The insulation of the window was close to non-existent. The first night we woke up freezing. Thankfully the AC was working, and that solved this issue for the second night. BUT THE NOISE. Our window looked at the street. And troughout the night we got to enjoy every vehicle going past on the busy road. It was like sleeping in a bus stop. We were hardly able to sleep. Garbage trucks at 00:30 and 04:30, buses every 15 minutes. Carhorns late and early, but even just the cars going past were awfully loud.
The place was rather clean, with a spacious room, late night reception, and nice beds. Alltogether it was better than what I expected. They even had a saloon, a shared microwave and a shared kettle. The included AC was working well, which is an important thing as it was much needed.

The hostel is situated very convenient to the center of Barcelona, we were walking everywhere! The room was big, all additional things, that we needed, were given us by nice Ukrainian girl at the reception.

United KingdomEntering the hotel corridor marked one of the most disheartening moments I've encountered with an establishment. The pervasive smell of hash permeated the air, unmistakably originating from one of the rooms. The entire corridor, saturated with the scent, had allowed the unpleasant odor to infiltrate our assigned room. Concerned about the potential impact on our child's asthma/allergies, I promptly informed the reception. Much to my dismay, my apprehension was met with outright denial as the staff insisted there was no odor. Despite the evident fragrance, the establishment obstinately maintained that there was no issue. Attempting to address the situation, Booking.com intervened and requested us to await their communication with the administration. Unfortunately, the establishment rejected any assistance and persistently denied the smell. While language barriers may have played a role, the staff member's rudeness only exacerbated the situation. Claiming a lack of available rooms, they adamantly refused to change our accommodation. Instead of expressing empathy, they emphasized the non-refundable nature of our booking, leaving us with no recourse. Frustrated and genuinely concerned for our child's well-being, we had no choice but to vacate the premises and secure another room elsewhere. In our subsequent experiences, we discovered that Booking.com often faces limitations in providing help. The resolution ultimately rests with the hotel/hostel, typically extending no assistance beyond a perfunctory "sorry for the inconvenience." It's immensely disappointing to find yourself compelled to spend an additional sum of over $100 for a night when the responsibility clearly lies with the establishment and not the guest.

UkraineI had a terrible experience. I could hear every sound coming from neighboring rooms, even from the room next door. The receptionists watched videos on full volume all night long, and there were drunk guests who vomited every 10 minutes. The AC in the room also made a lot of noise, adding to the discomfort. It was an extremely unpleasant stay.
The only good thing was the the location of this hostel.
