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.).

KazakhstanThe private double room that we stayed in wasn't aired properly, especially considering that the toilet had windows to the room and no ventilation whatsoever. The AC is too loud, so we ended up switching it off and using the fan which wasn't quiet at all as well.
Nice location and great value for money. The stuff was welcoming and the place itself had a good vibe. There is a kitchen that has lots of utensils to use to make your own food or just store something in the fridge. There is breakfast available as well for 15 reals.

BrazilThe air-conditioning was put on every single night even if people of a room asked to turn it off. There is not a lot of space in the rooms but everyone has a lockable drawer.
The location was nice, right next to a beach and close to the lighthouse to watch the sunset. The kitchen has everything you need and the beds are nice and sturdy so you do not feel every movement of the other person sleeping in the same bunkbed

IsraelThe breakfast ends very early. Three level beds - you can't fully sit in your bed if you're not on top. You might hit your head. The kitchen is often crowded - There are absurdly many workers and volunteers, and they use the kitchen all the time. Often you have to wait in line to even refill water. People sleep all the - even in midday the rooms is usually kept dark and quite, because the night-workers sleep with you in the same room.
Amazingly cheap. Great location - every thing you need, and close to the beach. Nice environment - Places to laze around, many bathrooms, possibility to hang clothes to dry outside. There's a guitar. A helping staff.

United StatesThe kitchen is pretty small, and the mattresses are thin in the dorms. No place to hang clothes to dry.
Great location a block from Barra beach where the lighthouse is, but close enough to the historic downtown with a 10 minute bus. Big open space in the lobby and beautiful high ceilings. Good wifi, clean, and a good price
