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...).

GermanyI really disliked the fact that there aren’t proper power outlets by the bed. There are usb ports (old style), but that’s super outdated. The mattress cover was super rough and scratchy
The breakfast is great and so are the facilities. The staff is also very friendly. Big lockers in the shared room that can be opened/closed with the magnetic card

SwitzerlandThe bathrooms are far away from the rooms and we need to pick the bed clothing before check-out, waking up room mates because of the noise.
I liked the group environment and how welcoming the staff and the other residents were. It was very nice to work on the common spaces with 80's music in the background.

United KingdomSadly the bed side charges didn’t work, otherwise would have scored a 10. This to me is probably one of the most important things when travelling, not running out of charge.
Loved this hostel, good bedding, comfy beds. Friendly staff at reception/cafe area. Amazing fries from the canteen. Lockers away from beds - good set up. Located beside a beautiful lake. Great breakfast.

The room is bigger than I thought even it's for 8 people, and with the windows we can see the view outside. And the locker is locked by room keys, which is quite convenience. Plenty of options for breakfast. Enjoy the meal time as I can enjoy the great view outdoors at the same time, especially on snowy days.

SwedenThere are only regular USB plugs next to each bed. USB-C and power plugs would come in handy. Room lock didn't work for the first two days.
Location is great. Next to the cable car to old town and central station. Lockers available in the room that can be activated with the access card It comes with a free public transport valid during the stay. You can ask for a free dinner in the web check-in

United KingdomThe bathrooms and showers were smelly and always missing toilet paper or not clean. The showers are not practical there is a divide with a shower curtain so everything gets wet and no where to put your things. The price of the hostel.
Simple dorms, reception staff were friendly, decent breakfast and restaurant for lunch and dinner. There was a chill area which was comfy and easy to work from if it’s busy.

United KingdomBasic room meant not comfy enough to hang out in an evening but luckily we could hang out on the comfy seats at the bar while our little one had a nap.
We loved the breakfast, the room was very clean but basic, the travel cot was perfect for our 11 month old. Location was at the bottom of a steep hill but we didn't mind this at all (and there was a wee cable car thing you can use).
