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 StatesIt was dated, but everything was clean so there was no issue!
Good location near the art houses / Honmura ferry port. Clean and quiet, no frills guest house. I was in a single room with a double bed, but it was great for one person. There are bicycles available to use during your stay. However, I already rented an e-bike (which was perfect for those hills and avoiding the bus service!)

ItalyI expected it to be old and it was but it was okay I was only going to sleep. Weak WiFi was a bit annoying but didn’t use too much of it.
Nice location easy to check in and had my own room/block of house. Small but a bath was good too.

PortugalThe bath and toilet are located in another part of the building but it seems the other two rooms have a bathroom inside, which is more comfortable.
Although we arrived before noon we could check in right away. The bedroom is quite large and there is another little room attached to it. There were enough free bikes available (standard type, a bit heavy; not electric, which might be more difficult to drive for those less experienced with a bike). Good location: three minutes away from the bus stop and with quite a few restaurants around (note that most are closed when the museum is closed).

AustraliaFuton bed was a bit too firm which affected my sleep but depends on your preference. Also lots of mosquitos and other little insects (a normal part of this island) so make sure windows/doors are always closed - even between rooms.
Perfect view of the ocean from the private deck, lovely guesthouse with great amenities, super friendly host (although she spoke limited English but we managed). Staying here really enhanced our relaxing time in Yakushima Island.

The room was cozy and very clean with private bathroom. Reasonable price. The most important thing is that the owner was so kind and nice. Although his English speaking was not so fluent, we can still communicate via Google translate. I was thankful for his driving me to the port to take ferry after I checked out.

The locationis good as it's right near all the Art House Projects. There is a bus between Miyanoura Port and the Benesse Art area. There are bikes to borrow at the guest house but if I visited again I would hire an electric bike to get around. It's also walking distance from a little supermarket.

Israelwould have been very helpful if I would also be informed that there is not food that you can purchase at hostel. Normally you can't find cooked meals in a hostel, but because you will need to climb more than 300 stairs to arrive, I was expecting to find something to eat at the cafe. I arrived quite late, so that was probably another reason why I hungry and tired. get something to eat before you check in, is my advice.
The view from the hostel is unbelievable. when I booked I didn't know they had dorms (maybe it wasn't avilable during the dates I wanted), but normally even when the dorms are not avilable during some dates, it is still very clear that there are dorms. might have been my confusion, I don't know. I was so happy with the room i booked that I didn't mind that after I arrived. The information that i was provided before - That I should drop my luggage at the coin lockers at the train station was SOOO helpful and made my climb to the hostel to be relaxed and comfortable. The staff was great and they gave me very good and detailed recommendations. It was an amazing experience to stay there. I would recommended to stay 2 nights minimum.
