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 KingdomIt's a pretty poor example of a hostel. A hold on my credit card to cover potential damage - seriously!!! Very expensive for what it is (for comparison we stayed in motels in France and a hotel in Barcelona on the same trip that were cheaper but provided far, far better service and facilities). Stairs are borderline dangerous - narrow and very steep. Rooms are miniscule with barely enough room to get into bed. Beds were ok, but I think that's only because I was completely knackered after a very long drive. Least said about the bathroom the better - comical. So, it's a hostel, but these people are taking the mickey. I wouldn't stay here again even on my most slumming trips. But... the guy who let us in was friendly and helpful, so thanks for that at lest.
Location - I needed to be near the port The proprietor (I guess) was friendly and welcoming and flexible about check in time. Not impressed that a £50 hold was placed on my credit card "in case of damage", but very pleased that the hold was removed on the same morning we left the place. The fact they place a "damage" hold on your card tells you everything you need to know about this place and the type of "guest" they are expecting to stay.

United KingdomThe telephone receptionist told me with a heavy accent that if I booked on-line I'd get the room for £45 so I used Booking.com and it came in at £50. The receptionist then told me I should have used the hostel website and refused to refund me. So this is £5 worth of negative feedback.

CanadaThere is one small problem. when it rains, at least at the front of the building, rain drops off the roof in heavy drops and hits some flashing just under your window. The affect is like someone hammering on sheet metal all night. I was able to fix it by opening the window which deflected the rain, but that may make someone cold.
A very workmanlike place, run by a clearly workmanlike proprietor. The bed was comfortable. The water was hot. The wifi worked. The place was clean. The place was quiet. The room was fine. Workmanlike, as I say. It was close to everything, but out of the way. I liked it
