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...).

United States of AmericaNOT secure at all. Anyone can walk in the front door, and the door to your bedroom doesn’t automatically lock! Meaning if you have roommates who forget to lock the door, ANYONE could just walk into your space. A random man came into my all female room TWICE during my stay. Would not ever come back here.

IrelandAnything, the receptionist was saying it wasn't his fault. He was waiting but actually and nobody wasnt picking up the phone calls to make sure the check in. I finally had to sleep in the bus station... And i haven't received any refund, i just received the blame on me because i didn't show up and just to get 22 euros more in their account i guess.
I worked for 18 months in a hostel and i know how this thing works. I couldn't go in the place because reception wasn't picking up my calls to make sure i wanted check in

BulgariaThe beds had stains, sheets didn’t felt very clean although they were washed. The whole place needs a renovation. Lockers in the rooms were very uncomfortable to use because they were below the bed in a big metal box and it was dirty. The bathrooms were clean but not all fossits worked. Wifi was fast but there were only 2 power sockets in a 4 bed room. It smelled of cewer from outside into the room. Receptionists barely spoke English but were friendly.

United KingdomPretty much everything but the location. The whole place felt grim and grimy, claustrophobic, gritty and unclean. I didn't sleep very well, because when people came and went in the night (which was a lot) they had to put their own sheets on and the beds were the creakiest and loudest I've ever known. It's also not a great place to hang out or work because the only place where the WiFi works is in the foyer where there's pop music blasting out all day - the only other place to sit is deep in the tasteless basement kitchen area where the WiFi doesn't work and it reeks of cigarettes. Also, as mentioned elsewhere the showers (for men at least) are quite exposed with nowhere to leave your stuff, unless (again) you use a basement bathroom where the shower was cold and dingy. I don't like to rant because the staff all seem really nice and hardworking but the interior design, management of guests and facilities need to improve to make the most of the superb location and make it a place you'd actually want to meet people, not somewhere you can't wait to escape.
The location is even better than expected, so near the cathedral and palace on one side, the park right next to it, and then the Plaza Mayor and so many other charms just down the road.

United KingdomThe manager was rude, not helpful and dismissive. I had an item stolen and was able to see the spot, clearly on camera, yet he refused to watch the footage. It made my day have an awful start and I no longer have something important to ne just because the footage was not checked. So it seems if something gets stolen, you will not get it back!!
Two of the younger staff were good people.

United States of AmericaAVOID! Me and my friend booked a PRIVATE ROOM for us two for a few nights. We went out one night and came back to our room looking a little different, but ignored and went to bed. The following morning, we went to breakfast and saw that our cash in our wallets were missing, on both persons. We immediately went back to the hostel to find our private, LOCKED room with doors closed that were left open (to the private bathroom) that were not, and things not as we left them an hour before. we immediately checked all our belongings to find 350€ stolen in total from us. We packed up our things as this is not a safe space to stay clearly-they go into your room while you are gone and take your things(: We confronted the workers and they brushed it off as “that wouldn’t happen, you got pick pocketed” or attempted to blame the “cleaner” (but our beds weren’t made and the towels were not replaced so what cleaner???) and acted as if we were stupid to accuse them (they were the only ones with extra keys to our locked room?) The problem is-the things that were stolen were left in a hidden secure space in our private room when we went out. Absolutely never again. Unprofessional, rude, disrespectful, literally robbing guests who stay there. Terrifying experience never again avoid this place!!
