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...).

PortugalThe bed could be bigger and somehow better, but it was enough for a short stay. As also mentioned in many other reviews, location can make you feel somehow uncomfortable on a 1st impression upon arrival.
Although not in the best part of town, it suited us as we were riding a motorcycle, so it was easy to reach and close enough to the center. Facilities are what you could expect from a university residence for students, everything was clean and in order and Wifi was ok. Garage was also ok, in the same building and with easy access. Breakfast was ok as well, a simple one in a coffeeshop nearby, and included in the price.

ItalyIt’s just the location, as soon as you arrive you might not feel the safest, but once you are there a while you understand it’s not dangerous.
The area is nice a open, for students it’s very comfortable.

ChinaThe neighborhood is loud and makes one feel uneasy from afternoon through midnight.
The room is practically equipped and clean. Location is convenient, though the neighborhood made me feel uncomfortable upon arrival on a Sunday afternoon. It was actually quiet and safe when I set out before dawn the next two days. And it’s well patrolled by police. Price is good.

United KingdomLocation felt unsafe at night with lots of police at the end of the road. Room not cleaned and bins not emptied daily despite saying 'daily housekeeping' and leaving a sign on the door asking for room to be made up. Room overlooked area where people could smoke making having the window open unpleasant if people were smoking. Fire but no air con (which we knew about) which could be problematic in warmer months. Hot water not constant. If you have a bath in the half bath and someone is coming in after you you have to wait for the water to heat up again. Very difficult to stand when having a shower due to curvature of the bath you stand in. Would like to see a corkscrew in the mini kitchen in the room but this is a minor point and we bought one. A very British thing I know but a kettle in the room would be good especially as it has a mini kitchen. This review is not meant to be picky, the staff were amazing, it's just leaving a fair and truthful review purely based on our experience and opinion.
Friendly and efficient staff who couldn't do enough to help, small kitchen in room, laundry and plenty of seating areas in the public areas. Great breakfast at a local cafe.

Germany- Bathroom VERY small, uncomfortable shower/sitting tub - Nightguard might not speak English (but he did check us in) - View towards the rear is a trash-filled inner courtyard (but reasonably quiet) - Bed not very long (might be tight if you are over 185cm) - Smell of Mariuhana in hallway (I guess that comes with this being student housing)
- Friendly staff - Easy access once you have the key card - Lot's of food stores and restaurants nearby - Good WiFi/WLAN - Vending machines - Nice breakfast, even if not on premises

AustraliaNothing. Some people may be put off by location near train station and lots of people hanging around, but no problem for us. No air con so may be hot in summer.
This gem was a pleasant surprise! Easy to find, close to old part of town, good security, 24hr reception, luggage storage, helpful info, nice to walk to a cafe for breakfast. It’s uni accommodation with single beds, but comfortable and bonus of a kitchenette. Only discovered the communal washing machine as we were leaving. Lots of communal space for relaxing.

GermanyThe location on the map looks ok, but the neighbourhood did not feel very safe. Even staff told us not to walk out of the door and wonder in the wrong direction. We walked to the old town once during daylight and then used the train to get into town. In the evenings when it is dark, I would not recommend the place to female solo travellers. I would like to emphasise: This is NOT the fault of the accommodation, staff there was super friendly and helpful every time and all spoke good English, but I believe people should make informed decisions. The place has no air con and it can get very hot. The streets around the place were noisy with parties unit 3am.
The student residence room were in good condition and very clean. The breakfast is at a cafe 6min walkaway. The breakfast was simple but nice, a croissant, a coffee, an orange juice.
