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...).

NetherlandsThe bathroom was smaller than we expected. Also there was an exit sign that gives light (which could not be turned off we think) in the room, so bring a sleeping mask!
The location is amazing, it’s right in the middle of a fun area for nice restaurants, cafes, shops and nightlife. It’s also very close to the palaces. Lots of public transport options nearby. The room was very clean. Check in was very easy, although there was no personnel. There is a nice fridge in the room.

United KingdomNot a negative comment - just a note to say that this hotel has smaller bathrooms than usual, so if having a large bathroom is a dealbreaker then I suggest looking somewhere else.
Great location! Very central and in very nice area. Close to transport links. Very good value for money and the staff is very responsive, which is amazing. You can leave your luggage there as well and can borrow umbrella when needed.

AustraliaSadly, the luggage lift was not functional when we stayed and we had to carry our suitcases up to the top floor up very steep and narrow stairs. The room also had no blackout curtains.
Amazing location, good shared facilities in lobby, including a nice washing machine and dryer.

CanadaI think it would be really tight with 6 people in the room. The neighborhood was super alive at night with lots of trendy restaurants and very closes to transit, though the alleys next to the entrance seemed a little sketchy. There were double windows so there was no noise from the street, but the sound from other guests inside the building was noticible.
The room had 6 bunks and there were only three of us so we had enough room for our suitcases. It was only a 1-minute walk from the metro to the front door which made getting to/from the airport easy. The free shared washer/dryer in the lobby was great.

SingaporeI didn't like how the room can get damp when you come back later at night after not having used it a while and the water from the toilet keeps leaking under the door. The bathroom is constantly humid and has a bit of a smell from the drain. The location was great, but first-timers have to be warned to go through the main roads because the guesthouse is located near alleyways and therefore Navermap will tell them to go through these pathways for fastest routes. However, it can be a bit scary for a solo female traveller.
I liked how the room, although small, had everything you needed! It is also located very conveniently in the midst of all popular areas and near to several metro lines, so it is easy to get around.

VietnamAmazing location! The apartment is close to many restaurants and bars, and just a short walk to Gwangjang Market. It's also very near the subway and airport bus stop — perfect for travelers with lots of luggage like me. The room is small but clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. We had a small issue during our stay, and the host responded quickly and was very helpful. Highly recommended!

IndiaThe facility doesn’t have a lift. However, they do have a dumb waiter to carry the luggage to the 3rd floor. A day prior to our check-out the dumb waiter stopped working. However, no measures were taken to fix the problem. Resultantly, while heading to the airport at 4:30 a.m., there was a delay of 20 minutes in heaving our luggage down 3 floors for 5 of us who were occupying the room. We couldn’t get in touch with anybody at that hour in the morning.
Cleanliness, location, comfort, safety was very good.

AustraliaThe bathroom was REALLY small. Especially the shower.
The place was really small but the location was excellent especially considering the price we paid. It was near most major attractions and has a lively restaurant scene. It was pretty clean and provided everything you need in the common area like a microwave and a washing machine and dryer. Will definitely stay here again for the location itself!!
