Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomFriend Guesthouse was a good place to stay for a week. In the centre of town near the markets, shops, and easy access, walk or short bus ride to many tourist attractions. Free coffee, cold and hot water all day. Breakfast was self-serve coffee, juice, eggs and toast, and you could self-cater in the well organized kitchen. The kitchen seating area was a good place to meet interesting international and Korean travelers. Friendly staff, although not always in situ.

South KoreaThe people in the room should be more respectful if they wake up earlier than the rest (at 6-7am). Maybe the host could have awared them about it.
People in the common area were kind. The host was very kind and she helped me a lot. Very good location and the hostel is beautiful and confortable. Everything was very clean. I truly liked the common showers. They were very authentic and with space to let the dry clothes. The breakfast was good (could be better with ham and cheese, and milk, but it's OK).

ArgentinaI had a problem washing a T-shirt. I hung it up to dry, and when I went to get it the next day, it wasn't there. Someone else had taken my shirt. I know the hostel staff aren't to blame for this; it was the fault of a stupid guest who didn't check what he was taking.

The owner is friendly and helpful with recommendations or if you have any questions. The location is good and close to a bus stop. Heated blanket if you need to turn it on. There's a common kitchen you can use to cook your breakfast.

IndiaJust that they didn't had milk for coffee or tea...
I read many online reviews before booking this guesthouse. Some people said the owner was rude and the place was not clean. Despite these comments, I decided to book a room, and I am glad I did. The guesthouse is in the center of the city, so bus connections are excellent. Even though it is in a busy area, the guesthouse itself is very peaceful. The owner, a lady, was always polite, decent, and very helpful. The internet was fast and reliable, and my room was absolutely clean. A few reviews mentioned a wait at check-in because no one was at the reception. I also had to wait for about half an hour. However, I realized that the owner runs everything by herself, and there are no other staff members. She has to manage all the work, so sometimes she is not at the reception. I think this is understandable. On my last day, after checking out, I left my luggage at the guesthouse to explore the city a bit more. I could not find pure vegetarian food nearby, so when I returned, I mentioned this to the owner. She kindly prepared some fresh cucumber for me, which I really appreciated. Overall, I found this guesthouse to be excellent. My experience was very positive, and I would recommend it to others....
