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 KingdomThe Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

I spent there five days with my family. All members of the staff are very helpful and so kind. I’ll never forget the tasty pancakes and omelettes for breakfast. Water, tea and coffee all day free. It’s an ideal place for a long term stay (digital nomad) and also a great stay for women as there is a dormitory and bathroom for girls only. There is also a washing facility for free – only bring your washing powder.

PhilippinesThe smell of the drainage from the bathroom kind of needs deep cleaning. Other than that everything else is great!
Breakfast is my favourite because they offer pandesal every day! I was happy with the room because I requested an upgrade and I eventually stayed in the same room as my first visit. The rooms were pretty clean and the beds are the best with soft pillows. Lastly, I appreciate how the staff were looking for me when they noticed I did not come home for a night because they noticed my room was untouched (cuz I stayed in Duli). I am grateful for how they look after their guest checking for their safety.

PhilippinesProbably the main problem that we had was just the access card of our room. We had to go back multiple times to get it fixed but other than that, everything was great.
The free breakfast, the size of beddings are actually great because you can sleep very comfortable. Also, the staff are very accommodating. I requested to do a surprise birthday for my friend and they did an amazing job and exceeded my expectations.

Philippinesnone, by the looks of it they are geared towards improving the amenities more life refreshing the paints and providing a pool.
Staff were ready to assist you, the location was accessible to town proper minus the noise, i love the nice touches in the areas like the nooks and spaces for dining. Breakfast was filling and room was well lit, beds were comfortable and the private bath has enough space. it's a nice place to meet fellow travellers. I would definitely book this again.
