How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAmazing location right in the city Center for a very good price. Fridge was clean and the shower was okay.
Beds were quite squeaky which made it hard for people without earplugs to sleep, but most of us had some. Some noise outside the window.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect. Price was about what I expected for the good location.
Noise level of upstairs and adjacent neighbors. No screens on windows, which were wide open when we arrived. Flies were getting in often. No furniture for mattresses & boxsprings, just on the floor. Messaging from hosts before and during our stay was confusing - first made me nervous that we booked a shared room, then made me nervous that were supposed to check out then back in for our third/final day of our stay. Gave us extra instructions to lock the main door that locked itself, and an extra code for room 1 that we still don't know what it was for. WIFI access didnt work for me, one of the two addresses was active but the password wasn't correct. My partner connected to one of them right away, but it wasn't working. When we arrived there was a load if linens in the washer. We just hung them to dry and then folded them. Entry hall and bathroom smell was pretty awful. 1 roll of toilet tissue for 3 days. Woke up two morning with new bug bites, but found no bugs..so unclear if it was from the room or not.

Verified reviewThe accommodation couldn't be located in a better place, spot on in the city centre. And the price we got for the one night was very good. But that's about it.
1) Potential bed bugs: While the rooms looked clean at first glance, the bedding looked quite old and not inviting. When I woke up the next day I found some stains on my bed (see pics) that might be indicative of *bed bugs*, even though I had no bites on me. I wasn't thrilled to see the later review of another tourist who said bed bugs were present in some rooms. There was a bag of wooly material right under my bed which looked like the perfect abode for bed bugs 😩 🪲 But this is a possibility (that is not fully confirmed) 2) No in-person human contact for check in. I had to send my id via an app which I didn't trust much. 3) Thin walls and noisy environment. I could hear people snoring in the room downstairs and other people talking until about 1am. Then it was ok until about 8.30am 4) Lack of items provided: the bathroom only had toilet paper and a tiny bit of diluted soap. No bins, no shower gel, no anything else.

Verified reviewIt’s very central
Customer care was ignoring any calls. There was a small crowd of people in the halls not understanding if they got the room or not. First floor didn’t have bedbugs but upper floors reported some.

Verified reviewLoved the BED BUGS!!🪳 Go see their GOOGLE MAP REVIEWS, all about bed bugs!
BED BUGS!!! My roommate and I found several bed bugs on our last morning both in the bedroom and in the common are plus we both got bitten! No hot water in shower, no toilet paper, no towel! Worse communication, checkin instructions absolutely poorly transmitted. It took forever to receive it and then it took them forever to tell me which bed was my once there. No one picked up the phone. Beds are tiny and blanket too short (I’m just 5.5”…)
