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...).

VietnamThe kitchen is not clean or equipped to be used by guests. The appliances need to be replaced and things like the fridge should be left on when guests things are in there (like yogurt and milk).
It was private and the bed was comfortable. Easy accessible from town and safe at night. There were even extra pillows, towels and soap. There is also a closet if needed.

United States of AmericaThey put us in the hostel next door, I guess because they ran out of room. So I had to go through registration twice, once at each hostel. The rooms were decent, but the bathrooms were small and sometimes dirty.
Nice location in town.

NicaraguaDirty kitchen. I get it, travellers can be very dirty but if you dont put any effort into cleaning common areas, it will get disgusting. It already is. The hostel offers free water, but there was none for the whole afternoon. The owner was always saying that they are coming with new one...it took 2 more hours. Poor planning, all the hostels we have visited before had always so many barrels ready, here they had maximum of 2 or like this case, 0. Last morning there was no gas. Would be cool to have spare one ready, but of course there was none, so no proper breakfast. The hostel did not have running water for 2 days. Okay, that can happen, but so far all hostels that faced such issues had huge barrel filled with water in the bathroom for such situations. This hostel does not have that. At least we got a bucket of water after complaining, so we could at least flush the toilet. How nice!
There is not much we liked actually. It is a cheap hostel with loads of issues. They solved them eventually, although very slowly. In the end we got recompensation of 10 dollars, which is definitely nice, but would be better to improve the planning so future visitors do not need to face these issues, which are generally easily solvable.

United States of AmericaAgain its not a nice place aesthetically or anything and there were bugs around. That doesn't bother me much but if it bothers you just be aware.
The place itself is not nice at all, not very charming or anything, but has the necessary things (beds, bathrooms, mirror, fan) and is what you can expect for the price. It does the trick for a cheap place to stay. No AC, we didnt encounter much in Nicaragua, but the fan above the bed was very powerful and kept us cool throughout the night which was great.

NetherlandsAt arrival be careful paying cash, the chaos created disagreements. Instead of cleaning they sprayed really nice toilet refresher. Besides they make you feel very welkom by locking the front door with more locks than any decent prison. besides it’s a funny game to play Russian roulette with the fans that do not work.
