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.).

Good location not far from the downtown and public transport. 11th floor, so the views and sunsets are great. Clean towels and bed sheets. Self check-in.

FinlandNo dark curtains, the light from the window didn’t allow me sleep. It’s hot inside with closed window. The one window is big. Keeping it open means all the sound from the traffic makes into the room and doesn’t let me sleep. The given blanket doesn’t suit for summer. It makes me sweat. Without blanket, it’s cool with window open and sound from traffic. I could not sleep at all.
Facility is good, reachable, clean, economical, accessible to public transport

FranceThe hostel was quite sad : no one was working there, everything was automatic, and I did not see anyone else in the Hostel. All in all, a place that is very impersonal, ok for one night but not very "cosy".
The location was ok. It was clean, and the bed was ok too. The view was nice (11th floor).

NetherlandsNothing as such. I did not expect much so it met the expectations.
The location and accessibility of the stay is awesome. The bathrooms were clean. We did not use the kitchen so no comment. We stayed during February when the temperature outside was -18°c. The stay was pretty warm and did not feel the cold at all.

PolandToilets are not super clean. Of course it is an hostel, some people do not care of cleaning in commong areas. Also in the kitchen as well, there was a smell and some utensils were dirty. But in the room, refrigerator and microwave was dirty as well. We had to use it but there was terrible smell in the refrigerator and some dirt around it.
We really like the location of the place and the view.

FranceNot very well isolated from inside. So you can heard your neighbors going on toilet, ect. But everyone is trying to keep silence from 10pm till 7am.
Located in a very quite place, not so difficult to find because they send you email and message on your mobil phone before arrival to explain you the way. Not far from bus stassion. The room was clean, beds are comfortable, very warm room, we were not freezing. It's still an hostel so if you are picky and check under the bed for sure it's not perfectly clean .. Showers were okay, not dirty, toilet the same. Our room had a cupboard, microwave, fridge (turned off), boiling water machin and a tv ! There is no hairdryer, take one if you need it. Very well isolated from outside you do not heard anything from outside.

RussiaI wouldn't say that this place is clean. It doesn't matter, that it is a cheap accommodation, it still should be cleaned properly. Too much dust in the room, floor was not looking very clean too. Kitchen was also dirty and greasy. Also room locks work quite loudly. I don't know if this issue can be fixed, but it is really loud - when someone enters room next to yours, you can hear how the code is dialed up.
Location is good, easy to walk from the city center or metro station. Nice view from the room. Good that this hostel provides only one or two bed rooms, so it is possible to sleep at night, no one makes noise next to you.

Czech RepublicThe kitchen was a bit dirty and creepy, but we did not need to use it anyways, so it did not bother us at all since there was a microwave, fridge and a coffee machine in our room!
Very good quality-to-price ratio! We were overall happy with everything. The room was tiny but we just needed to stay overnight before our flight so it was perfect. The bus stop was nearby and there was a pretty nice indian restaurant right below.
