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.).

New ZealandEven though I said I loved the rooftop, it could do with a bit of a makeover eg laying down some fake grass (turf) floor cover or something? .
I loved the rooftop and view over the street and Zion square and the breakfast was pretty good - lots of choices and fantastic coffee?I liked the chilled vibe of the place and being able to come and go with a simple door code.

Czech RepublicIn room 18, the upper bunk beds lack guardrails and at the same time the beds are relatively narrow. People who toss and turn while sleeping are going to have a problem.

The hostel is located in the middle of Zion circle! Amazing location. We got a room with balcony (#6 - the same one Begin had in 1948). The rooftop is great! Staff are nice. Feels safe. Clean.

PolandRenovation of all objects would be nice, but I bet that it would become much more expensive. At least on the roof the chairs and tables could be replaced. Once chair almost collapsed for me.
Price and location compensate for the feeling about the room which is not that pretty. Breakfasts are given with slight delay. At 8:30 often lot of people were waiting but nothing was ready yet. When traveling with kids the bunk bed was scary for them, as it is really high.

United StatesOur bathroom smelled but we kept the door shut and that helped a lot. Little old, so don’t have too high of expectations.
The location was great. The accommodations were sparse but sufficient. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was good though we only ate once since it started at 8:30am. Loved the balcony. We’d go back.

Excellent location, in Jaffa street with many shops and restaurants nearby. Old City and train station can be reached on foot or by tram. Parking available on lot behind hotel for 130 shekels a day, otherwise park outside city and take tram. Small balcony for 2 people (in 3 people room). Large roof top terrace but quite crowded
