Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomDirty room with bugs, I went out when I came back and switched the light on there were a lot of cockroaches running around and hiding in the wall cracks and skirting boards. On top of that, the bunk beds are very squeaky, and the tiniest movement wakes up everyone in the room, with unbearable noise and a lack of comfort. If more attention is paid to the housekeeping service and cleanliness, the place will be great.

United States of AmericaA lot of people , some nice some on meth, one 42 year old man had a 12 year old boy cutting his hair and he kept bringing the kid in and out of the room,. I think if I wasn't in the room he would have done something nefarious with the kid. Even another guest thought it was very suspicious.
Met a few nice people who genuinely were kind but in reality this is just a money pit!

AustraliaThe advertised pictures are from a long time ago with this hostel. The kitchen was a bit too tiny although the fridge did have enough room. Before checkin time I asked if I could leave a bag, but the price was $5 which was a surprise compared to most hostels.
I had a private room, and for the price and location it was good, but very basic.

NetherlandsWhere to start... The private dorm had a very old metal, creaky bed frame being held together by tiewraps with hot, non breathing, plastic covered mattresses. But the worst part was that the room had a window but no real ventilation and the mobile airco was completely covered in mold on the inside which makes it an absolute health hazard to turn on. The moisture, mold and bad ventilation are probably the reason for the plastic mattress covers. It would have been better to just have gotten a place in the dorm which had better bed frames and mattresses and ventilation/airco. The toilet and shower are in the same room and are shared with up to 14 people.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. They helped us find a nice parking spot for the car. They let us store our bags over the weekend.

SwedenI had a ‘private’ room that was located at the end of a dormitory with a shared bathroom. I checked in a bit late and obviously woke up people that were in the dorm while going to my room. Everything looked a bit old and not super well kept up. I could hear the music from the bar playing until late at night. If you like partying and meed a cheap stay, this is probably a great pick, however if you prefer quiet and comfort I’d advise going somewhere else.
Staff is so kind and have been super helpful. Only stayed there as I needed a cheap room for a night before flying back home. I guess if you like partying, there’s the bar next door.

ColombiaWe were locked for two hours in our room because the lock was broken and someone had to come and open the door from outside. They changed us of room but this time didnt have any security at all. We paid for a private room but apparently everyone could open the door of our room. We had no choice but to put a piece of furniture blocking the door.

United Kingdomit wasn’t clean, in general yes, but just have a look under mattress or the space next to the wall, I didn’t feel welcomed, I arrived after 00:00 the guy at the reception was playing a game on a computer and I didn’t feel welcomed, when I asked if tap water is drinkable in Miami he said “ if you want “!? that’s not kind answer at all. I didn’t like the food, it’s just marketing thing and it shouldn’t be included, I’m sorry but I’m not afraid to say it’s insulting to serve that food to people, the lasagne was the cheapest, deep frozen. please respect people and remove it from menu, instead of this add ham and cheese to breakfast. lockers are very expensive and in most of the hotels are free, small water for $2, again it’s seriously insulting and it should be 2/10 but because of the location I gave you 5/10 additionally there’s nothing going on, I was ready for a party, it doesn’t have to be best party in Miami, just some music from radio and drinks people can buy
I like the location

BrazilThe private room is inside a room with more 12 beds! The staff don't attend you with attention. They offer a dinner that is Just 300g of pasta and nothing more. The Kitchen is very small and it doesn't have a social room. I was in private room witch the restroom had not the sink work. It was leaking and we didn't have a place to wash our hands and brush our teeth. Air conditioners are old and noisy. Many photos are old and the Hostel is much smaller than it looks in the advertisement.
