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.).

AustraliaIt was towards the top of a very steep hill - I was glad I wasn’t dragging heavy luggage. Not a complaint - just something to be aware of. If you have older bones (🙂) or a label of flexibility - request the bottom cube!!!!
Friendly staff. Clean bathroom. Lovely communal gatherings in the evening where you could partake as little or as much as you wished. Good soundproofing

DenmarkThe mattress felt rubbery, a little higher quality would’ve perfected the stay. 💕
The hotel is stylish, clean and lively. There was events in the lobby / restaurant area connected to a spacious courtyard. The rooms were minimalist and fashionable, especially the bathroom convinced.

United StatesLyon comprises of a wonderful urban site. With so much sprawling throughout the metropolis, as well as adjacent areas (such as Villeurbane), having wonderful printed maps (which are sufficiently detailed, but facile for most visitors to follow) would be great. You have limited supplies of those. Hopefully, you have more of them. However convenient the Internet services are, those Internet systems run into issues. Visitors from Britain, United States and East Asia often have only domestic services, necessitating them to use the WiFi at hostel. Elsewhere, the WiFi usually run into issues. Thus, having printed copies of maps of Lyon would be great.
I enjoyed the wonderful associates (staff members/ employees). Their endeavors enhance the service qualities for the visitors, as well as for me. In fact, they help me with WiFi uses. I greatly appreciate them for helping the visitors (who book the nights to stay there) to procure essential services. Helping them to print key documents from WiFi and accommodating the needs of current young adult families with young children (under 10 years-old) comprise some of these key services. We appreciate your special evening gathering events. Some of your associates (employees/ staff members) procured wonderful cocktail drinks (such as rums). I thank them for those worthwhile services, which many visitors and I gladly paid for them. I thank you all for Free Breakfast included, on behalf of visitors (who book to stay at your site for several consecutive nights).

Switzerland-The breakfast wasn`t really good, there was always something missing and the staff took a long time to bring it The rooms are not well -Rooms are not well soundproofed. The surroundings are not noisy, but if someone is loud in the corridor (for example children shouting early in the morning), then you can hear everything in the room.
-Super friendly staff -Nice and vibrant common area -Good location -Hotel is new and clean -Spacious bathrooms

GermanyThis is easily one of the best hostels in the world. Each staff member is super kind and in contagious joyful spirits from check in to check out 💞. Thank you so much for everything - 10 +++💖. Beds were lovely cosy and comfy and had great privacy with the curtains provided at the end of the bed and all areas in the hostel were spotless clean. Breakfast was very nice (I chose express breakfast) Fabulous hostel in Lyon and the hostel has great facilities - also a luggage storage. Would love to stay here again in the future and highly recommend Pilo Hostel.

PolandThe beds are quite loud and also had travellers 50+ in my room despite the age cap of 30- something theoretically being in place (which just felt a bit awkward). The place lacked a bit of hostel atmosphere even in common areas.
Quite nice standards of the rooms, a lot of events, good cafe downstairs. Very helpful staff!

GermanyThe tables tend to have bread crumbles that could be cleaned more often but nothing that would ruin an experience. I think some guests should lower their voice when speaking inside the rooms, maybe a sign inside the room would work. But most of them are friendly and polite.
The guys in the front desk are nice, food is a bit expensive but it is good I think. Beds are comfortable and even though they have some vinylish material to protect them, they are fresh to sleep. Coffee was good and I could send some emails from the restaurant, something that is appreciated.
