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.).

AustraliaIn realistic terms relevant to the price per night… nothing much wrong with the place tbh. Somewhere to pass through and lay your head at night. Probably wouldn’t like the music venue downstairs, but I was staying when it was closed so no issue there. Maybe needs a little tlc, but again, $66 a night is good.
Easy to check in with a couple of door PIN codes. No fuss. Super cheap. Has a basic kitchen, a communal tv and fridge freezer to use so ticks every box I needed.

AustraliaI didn't like that I stayed there on the night of a gig downstairs (was unaware of) , and instead of the no noise rule late at night upstairs drunken idiots came in and ruined that night. They were super loud, banging on everything at like 11:30pm-midnight until close to 1am.
Double bed, shared fridge, use of microwave, oven and kettle. Free tea and coffee.

IndonesiaBook this accomodation for our driver to be close to our air b&b, but was told it was very noisy, i know its a pub but was advertised that live music on the weekend, but it was live music when he stay there on thur and fri night. I don’t appreciate a text message in caps lock when I ask for info re check in as apparently i only got 1/2 of message at that time (might be due to some connection issue), and i did message politely asking for the pin and room no only.

NetherlandsI did not like the lack of employees. No one there, communication was via email and papers on the wall. There is no kitchen and the shower was not working well. But again, you get what you’ve paid for. I’ve paid only €40,-
Well, you get what you’re paying for… because it is very cheap. Good place for backpackers because of the location, close to trainstation, the city and it’s on the 1th floor of a pub with live gigs. I liked the hostel with its old and grungy style. On my day of arrival I smelled a lot of weed in one of the rooms and some signed posters of music bands. Room was clean and tidy. Bed was oke for this price.
