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 individual shower room very small and cramped and difficult to get into without getting wet feet. The shower head cannot be adjusted and sprays beyond the curtain, so do not put anything on the floor! Actually another door hook would have been handy, as difficult to put clothes and towel on the double hook. There is no soap or towel in toilet, and no soap in bedroom, so bring your own. The Beko cooker is efficient, but it has two ovens, and the small one is NOT a grill, it will melt cheese but not toast baps or crumpets. The toaster will only take sliced bread. The bedroom walls are only one brick thick, so don't speak loudly on mobil, or play podcasts late at night! If you get University 03 bus it only takes you to porter's lodge, and the hill up to bunk houses is precipitous!
Room very comfortable, and included a wash hand basin, a bath towel is also included. Shared Shower and shared toilet were opposite the bedrooms. .Large Kitchen/diner was at the end of the corridor. The key card room lock was extremely efficient, compared to others I have used. Good view out in to the University grounds, and situation very quiet. The bus stops are only a few minutes walk away on top of the hill, and although there are not many buses, are useful once one knows their pattern. There is a Spar supermarket also on top of the hill. Shower gel is included , in shower room. Wifi can work well. Box near door for key cards so no need to trek down hill to Reception to check out.

FranceVery basic accommodation, the showers are push buttons which is not very practical. Not many utensils in the kitchen (it would be nice to have more cutlery, plates and cups). The mattresses are uncomfortable, fine for a short stay.
Cheap accommodation in the middle of campus, fairly close to the town centre (25min walk, a couple of buses throughout the day, and a cheap 3min taxi ride from the station if need be). It was quiet and the room was clean, with a sink in the room, sheets and towels included. Easy checkout and safe rooms with keycards to lock from inside and outside the room.

United KingdomThe shower room and shower itself were the biggest letdown although I wouldn't let that itself stop me staying in the bunkhouse in the future. The direction of the nozzle / shower head was fixed and non adjustable so it was difficult to clean the shower after use. The floor in the shower became extremely slippery when wet and soapy and I'm surprised there wasn't an anti slip mat or something. The showers are push button so you have to keep pushing the button during your shower otherwise the water stops coming out. Maybe these could be adjusted by the university in future so that each push of the button provides water for a greater length of time then we don't need to press as often? Regarding the shared toilets there was a wash basin and soap supplied so you can wash your hands but nothing there to dry your hands on afterwards.
Secure entry via electronic pass into the bunkhouse. Decent sized wardrobe for staying a few days, nice workdesk and adjustable chair in the room. Shared kitchen with good facilities which was cleaned daily along with the shared showers and toilets. I particularly liked the fact that I was left in peace by the staff throughout my stay. The room is yours from start to finish and there is no need to have to vacate the room at any point during your stay for linen changes or anything like in some places I've stayed in previously. If you require any assistance you always have 24 hour reception available in a separate building.
