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.).

TaiwanThe room was a bit moist and there were bed bugs on one of the beds.
The location is great, 10 minutes walk to the beach and 15 mins walk to the centre. The price was acceptable.

New ZealandThe beds could have been a bit comfier, but not too bad. Also could have done with some detergent to wash the provided crockery.
Simple room with lots of beds. The location is nice and central. Not far from the beach.

United KingdomAccommodation was very basic, but we expected that when we booked. Beds weren't the most comfortable but weren't bad. Shower was quite small but worked fine.
Just got back from a stag do in Bournemouth and I'm really pleased we chose to stay at Bunkhouse. It's a great place to stay with a large group of friends. Location couldn't be better, really close to the beach, town and the triangle. Loads of good bars and restaurants nearby. Despite being quite a busy area, the room was quiet and it was possible to get a good nights sleep.

United KingdomFinding parking can be challenging but we were lucky to have a spot in front of the bunkhouse, but for £10/day
Very good location close to the town centre and the beach and to a number of different restaurants and pubs. We found the Nisa shop around the corner particularly convenient. Easy to find and to get in and out

United KingdomThe mattresses were very soft and we thought the freezer was a fridge so froze our milk!! (Our mistake!).
The property was so near the sea front and an easy walk to a dog friendly beach or the pier in the other direction. The Italian on the corner was fab - we went twice! The decor was practical and looked good, entry details were easy to follow, and Simon was super helpful with any questions - especially when we thought we’d left something behind! It was quiet, and accommodating of our dog.

United KingdomThe kitchens and our rooms toaster was not working we didn’t realise that there was a freezer not a fridge so our food went bad and at least make some fan in the rooms when it is really hot.
It was really good because it was near to the beach and it was near the shops no distractions were made at night and we really enjoyed.

Hong KongThe place wasn’t very clean. There was still rubbish from previous guests in our dustbin, and the toilet seat had some dust on it that we had to wipe. Blankets were very small both in size and thickness. There was no heating in the room. But people at the hotel were very responsive and friendly and provided us with a heater. What we didn’t like the most was how the room felt — the walls were made of brown cloth bags, the one people store potatoes in. I didn’t see it on the photos listed — the rooms seemed to have white walls on the pictures. The floor was the same too, but the floor doesn’t spoil the vibe as much as the walls. There was a huge insect in the shower. The shower itself was also designed strangely, in a way where there is no way to know if it’s clean. Made from wood rather than tiles. There was no bathroom pictures listed, so that’s on us. But one might want to list more photos of rooms with different types of walls as well as bathrooms to avoid unmatched expectations. Overall it felt like we are massively overpaying, at almost 400 for 3 nights for 4 people. Staying didn’t feel restful, so we left early. Had it been much cheaper - I would say it’s okay, but for the cost it felt too bad at least to us.
The location is good - close to the city centre and the sea.

United KingdomThe mattresses were terrible, it felt like we went straight through them when we lay down, we woke up with sore necks and backs. The room was freezing cold - we all slept in three or more layers. It sounded like the windows were open because of the noise even though they were closed.
The ease of check in and the location were great. Having an en-suite was handy. It was good for a short stay.

United KingdomFurnishing and facilities were extremely basic and we did not expect to have bunk beds on three levels. Some matrasses were of vey poor quality. There was no table and no chairs and the seating facility was extremely basic, a wooden bench with a thin cushion on top and no back support, For the money we payed we could have booked three rooms in a three star hotel, which would have been much more pleasant.
