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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Czech RepublicThe common area has no windows, so not really that much comfortable to hang in. I missed a table or a chair in my room - that would be nice!
The hostel is clean and nice, in a great location. The room way nice and clean. Fantastic organization in the kitchen - with 9 rooms I think the baskets are great.

BelgiumNotice there can be noise from the streets coming in. So bring earplugs. My windows couldn't close properly which was a problem. I let the owners know and they fixed it pretty fast the same day.
Location, right in the heart of Tórshavn and next to the info center and bus stops. All the basic need are present at the hostel; for cooking, the closets and fridge. The bathrooms and toilets were clean.

United StatesIt was a lot of little things that I found frustrating, not necessarily that they were bad. There was no main light in my room, only two bedside lamps, which made it hard to do things in the evening. There was no garbage can in my room to throw things out in. There weren't hooks in all the bathrooms to hang up your towels. The sheets didn't seem or look all that clean. I found a lot of hairs on mine. Finally, it was extremely loud. I could hear every little noise outside, even if the windows were closed. And the walls between the rooms were very thin, too. There were also a lot of forms and logistics to fill out. If you're staying for a few nights, it's fine. But for a night or two, it seemed like a lot to deal with.
The location was great, right in the middle of the center of Torshavn. That was the biggest perk. Everything was within walking distance and very easy to get to. The layout of the guesthouse was a bit odd. There were more rooms on the second floor but only one bathroom there, as well as the kitchen. Most of the bathrooms and showers were downstairs on the first floor. I did like that each room had its own labeled basket in the fridge and the cupboard. Made it easy to find your things. Also, when you filled out the forms to check in, they provided links and recommendations for places to eat and things to do, which was nice and helpful.

United StatesRoom could have been a bit cleaner when I arrived: the bedding and towels were all fresh, but the surfaces were not spotless. It was fine.
After some of the earlier reviews, I was really pleased with my stay here. The kitchen had enough (and equal) space for everyone, with fridge, kettle, drip coffee machine, and small hob cooker. Washing up liquid, sponges, as well as products for showering were provided. Everything was cleaned and replaced every day. The cleaning staff were great and really friendly and helpful. I enjoyed talking to people each day in the common areas. Other guests were all quiet and respectful.

SwedenThe windows could not be closed properly so they often went up. Quite noisy outside at night and with the windows going up there was quite a lot of noise.
In the middle of town with the tourist office directly across the street and 200 meters from the port. Many bathrooms and showers so no problem sharing and good kitchen.

DenmarkA lot of issues. Room was not very clean, hairs in bed and a strong smell of rancid oil? Biggest issue was loud music and party and construction noises from the bar under the hotel which is currently being renovated. For some reason the workers decide to do loud sawing and grinding at 2 am on a weekend or hear loud music late at night on a weekday. The property was very helpful and came down several times to tell them to be quiet which unfortunately didn’t work. There was no other room available so had to endure this. Property refunded part of the booking as compensation. Kitchen was well equipped and clean and so were the bathrooms. Door is a bit fiddly with the code but figured it out eventually. Very pricey for what you get and given all the issues but that’s due to a lack of alternatives. Central location, parking about complicated as the spots in front are limited time but there is a bigger lot close by for longer parking but no unlimited parking.

NorwayThe door code did not work on arrival, the door was somehow blocked and I had to wake up other guests to get in since there are no hosts on property or easily accessible. My room had very poor artificial light, just a tiny lamp, that I had to demount in order to make it work. The common kitchen is small, has no proper ventilation and lacks many main utensils for every day use. The toilets were not always clean, when a place is not properly followed up guests don't use it properly either. The system of prebooking is very annoying, you receive many insisting messages with instructions lacking links to follow way ahead of your stay. It feels like they care more about the numbers than about the people. You just feel like another sheep in the Faroes....
The guest house is very centrally located, walking distance of main attractions in the center. My room had good natural light, good storage room and a very comfortable bed. The premises were in general quite new. It seems like it was recently renovated. The showers and toilets were clean and provided with toiletries although, unless you carried your own towell, nothing to dry your hands with.
