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.).

SingaporeAs there are no lifts, we need to climb up 5 storeys. There are also some sharp corner but we had to be careful with it
I went with my family and had a pleasant stay. The room is clean and comfy. My children have a great time during our stay. There are street foods around the corner. Location-wise, it is not near the BTS/MRT stations, but we can get around by bus or Grab. Bonus: There are free ice cream, and my children enjoyed it a lot as the weather is pretty hot.

United StatesThe bunk bed is private and comfortable, however it is a bit hard to sit up straight in there because of the height of the bed. It was not that big of an issue at all though. Still a 10/10 experience :-)
The LOL Elephant Hostel was clean, comfortable, and very affordable. The location was about an hour away from the Bangkok International Airport (BKK) and I used Grab for transportation. The location is surrounded by local residents and businesses which enhances the cultural experience. I overall recommend The LOL Elephant Hostel!

BrazilGood and helpful staff. Good internet connection and private bed. There was a common area where I could work from and they offer free ice cream at 3p.m 😍 , which is something i've never seen in any other hostel I stayed in. The area is really close to Khason Road but not noisy. The only observation is that there is no near metro station, if you wanna go there, you must walk around 15min (it's ok...).

United KingdomReally comfortable, modern but tasteful hostel. Comfy beds with great privacy, free ice cream in the afternoon, the perfect location for exploring Bangkok. Staff were hugely friendly and accommodating, the perfect hostel to get a good rest in after a long hot Bangkok day, though not a 'social' hostel so harder to meet people than other places.

NorwayThe bathroom stalls were a little small (and I’m quite petite at 1.55cm), and there’s only one shower in the women’s bathroom. The ceiling in the pod is also quite low. I had to crouch in order to sit upright so this might be problematic if you’re tall.
Happy hour ice cream! And there was a super cute balcony in the common area. The pods gave a good feeling of privacy, and the staff was super friendly. It was clean and modern, very comfortable.

IndiaOnly downside was that they did not allow a check-in before 2PM, although another room checked out early in the morning. As exhausted travelers, an early check-in even with an additional cost would have been very helpful.
Excellent staff, very good amenities, excellent location! Everything was clean and free ice cream was much needed :)
