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 KingdomI paid for a single room however the one on the ground I got was right outside the main doorway and like a shoe box. I could hear the smokers all night standing outside talking under the window and also when they returned to their rooms.
The staff have always been very friendly

NetherlandsTo name one: heating was full on and literally no possibility to turn it off. Mentioned twice at recepten. Was provided with a fan, but even with window wide open still a sauna inside.
We had to rebook last minute and this was a good alternative. 2x bunkbed 1 room. Perfect for just a couple of hours sleep after exploring the city.

SpainThe ring bell to open de door to get in didn't work properly because de door didn't open and nobody came to open it, it was raining and dark, I was lucky somebody came to go out so the door was opened from inside.
It is close to the underground, easy to get it. There is a supermarket just beside, it is clean and nice. You can have, breakfast there and there is an area to sit down and relax

United KingdomThe check-in took an eternity. The member of staff dealing with me seemed out of his depth and had no idea what he was doing. Communication was difficult. Shared rooms were fine. The other guests were respectful and kept noise to a minimum (aside from their snoring!) Cleanliness was not great. There were pieces of toilet roll in the corridor and I found an empty sachet of white powder on the floor next to my bed. The beds were comfortable but creaky and the mattresses were noisy (plastic protector?) It would have been nice to be able to order hot food at 10.30am (breakfast cut-off at 10am). Probably wouldn't stay here again.
The beds had curtains around them which was a nice privacy feature.

United KingdomSafestay does what the name states at a fair price. It is a bus ride away from the heart of the city and a 7 minute walk to the underground station. The rooms have ample space and each bed is curtained. The shower is spacious and well designed with simple press lever for hot water and a decent screen door. The design of the rest of the bathroom is also good. Snack prices are good, supermarkets and restaurants close by meet all needs.
