Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 shower on the top floor had a half working door and the room was quite cold. There are no common areas to stay.
The late check-in possibility is very convenient, the possibility to do laundry and the room was quite large.

BelgiumThe room was rather cold and heating was not enough considering the temperature outside during this October weekend. The two chairs in the room did not look very clean. But if you just need a bed to sleep then the place was sufficient.
Good location, easy self checkin. Bathrooms were well maintained.

The location was great, in the middle of the old town. The room was okay, but the blankets are pretty warm. Even though the check-in time is at 3PM, we could come earlier and enter the room if the receptionist allows us.

Greece1) no common area/lounge 2)HEATING! HEATING! HEATING! The room was very cold!! Actually, it was the coldest room we used in the 4 countries we visited during our trip (Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia). External temperature was -7C and room temperature was no more than 16C, since we were sitting wearing our coats and our hands were freezing cold. When we asked the person in charge if there is something broken on the day of our arrival, he told us that this was the warmest room he could offer! The next day, the reception lady came into our room and told us that our room was the best and we should check out other, colder rooms!! Also, she told us that gas is expensive (!!!) and the temperature inside her house is 15C! I really dont care about her house, not to mention that my house temperature is 20C! We were not staying for free at her house, we had already payed for a room we could not feel comfortable in. The hostel is great for other season, eg summer, but I wouldnt recommend it for the winter.
Location, spacious room with sink and kettle, a small kitchen with coffee/tea/fridge
