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.).

New ZealandFor the majority of our stay the bathroom had no paper towels, soap, shampoo or conditioner. The top bunk beds had no where to keep belongings, such as a book or waterbottle. Would be great to get a board put in between the bed and the wall so that nothing falls down.
Loved the offerings in the shared space. The kitchen was well equiped and the projector was being put to good use each night too.

CanadaBathroom. It's not necesserily a bad thing, but their shower is not adjustable - you constantly have to push button for the watter to come out, and you cannot adjust temperature. I also find that the room description is not accurate. First time we booked the double en-suite "with a view" and got a bit window. Second time we booked just the double en-suite - while I didn't expect much, we got a tiny window that was also facing brick wall (maybe 1.5 metes far), so there was almost no daylight. It's not about the view, but the light is pretty important. Yet my biggest negative experience the 2nd time was around the bed. Our mattress was super thin and placed on a metal-framed bed-frame. While I am not a "fancy sleeper", I could feel the metal slates every time I turn when sleeping and was a bit falling through the gaps of the bed frame when sitting.
This is my second stay at this hostel (private room with washroom) in a 2-year window. The location is great - far enough from the noise and crowd yet close to the subway line and within 15-minute walking distance to the central station. There is also a huge grocery store around the corner. I like how the hostel has own packed kitchen - you could easily cook there or store your items in the fridge. Considering my "negative" part of the review, I would still come back to this hostel, but would be careful with my room choice now.

SwedenThe location is 20 min walk from Amsterdam central station however the hotel is near to Waterlooplein Metro which is easy to transport to many attractions The hotel's staff are helpful and super friendly. We lived in Ecomama for 3 days and had a great experience even though the room that we stayed in was not soundproof as much the hotel also left earplugs for us. The room is spacious and clean. I would recommend other friends to stay in this hotel.

United StatesUnfortunately the room itself was where I had problems. I was in one of the shared dorms, and even though the beds were okay, they were very small and there wasn't a functional outlet by my bed at all. The beds were also packed in pretty closely so there is no where to put your things, except the lockers that are too small for a backpack. The other guests were not respectful, and although this isn't really the problem with the hostel, I think there should have been more regulatory rules that were actually enforced.
The place was very clean and the facilities were nice. There is a kitchen you can use as well as a general living area to hang out in. The bathrooms and showers were fairly clean, and although there weren't many of them I never needed to wait to use one.

KazakhstanHowever, it should be noted that the presence of a shared toilet and shower with men was not entirely comfortable. Additionally, it was somewhat chilly at night
I would like to share a positive experience of staying at Ecomama hostel. It was always clean and quiet here, which created a pleasant atmosphere for relaxation. I especially liked the variety of mini-events held here, as well as the presence of a cozy café. The girls' room provided good amenities, including a hairdryer and straightener, which was very convenient. Also, the common cute large hall, where you can relax and socialize with other guests, is an attractive feature. The hostel's excellent location adds extra points to it

IrelandThe room was quite bare in comparison with the decor in the common spaces, so we only really went in there to sleep. We'd booked a cheap basic room and we got what we were expecting (it looked like the pictures) but they could easily add a bit of colour to the room or a picture on the wall to make it a bit prettier. The bottles for shampoo/conditoner/shower gel were all empty. I didn't realise until I was already in the shower, so I managed without them, and I'm sure the staff would have refilled them if we'd asked.
The common area had a good atmosphere and nice decor, everything was very relaxed and friendly, and the place has a good ethos. The location was fairly central, easy to get everywhere in Amsterdam, and there was a market right by the nearest metro station with a few alternative/hippy style clothes stalls that I was really pleased to find. There's also an ekoplaza (organic supermarket) close by. The room was comfy and had everything we needed, and there were a couple of nice touches like ear plugs and a map with recommendations of places to visit.
