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.).

EstoniaNo hair dryer or TV. Bad isolation and ventilation. The room was next to the common kitchen so it was very noisy and all the smells somehow entered the room.

SingaporeSome inconsiderate guests could come in late at night and making noises by eating chips. My feedback to hostel management is to disallow eating or drinking inside the shared dorm room. Better to set a rule so they should only eat / drink in the lounge area or private room. Cleaning is not done every day so the room and bathroom can get dirty after a few days.
- Location is within walking distance to Powell Street and Union Square. - Comfortable lounge area and decent space for kitchen and dining - Equipped with Laundry facilities, washing machine and dryer are available

ChileI can't think of many things honestly, only thing that comes to my mind is that in the bathroom there wasn't handsoap, didn't ask for it though since I had my own and my stay was quite short. Also, since the location is uphill, I would recommend other travellers to arrive by any type of car so you don't tire tourselves too much carring your luggages uphill.... if you wanna arrive walking try walking along Bush ST. and then turn left on Taylor ST. In my experience it felt less tiring that way :)
Very quick check-in, the staff were always available to help whenever I asked for directions or recommendations for places to visit. The kitchen was nice place to cook something quick or have a cup of tea o coffee when you wanted, also the patio/terrace area was really nice even at night when it was windy in the city, you couldn't feel it there bc of the walls around it. The room was what it was described, very clean and neat, remember to take a lock with you so you can use your storage box without feeling worried about the other people sharing the room with you. Lastly, it was nice that there was a room available to leave your bags the day you check-out if needed.
