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.).

United StatesIt was a bit hard to find the hotel since the photos provided to find directions and the location were different.
It was all male rooms. It was okay. The room was a little smelly. Very close to the Sugamo train station and nearby restaurant's. Finding a Denny's is like 7 to 10 minutes walk. But walking and exploring is fun and experience Japan culture.

GermanyThe toilets however had no toilet paper for several days in a row, not a single toilet. The bedroom is a also very narrow and there is barely and space to move. Not the Hostels fault but some of the guests behave like pigs and leave trash everywhere, some even washed their feet in the sink which is pretty gross.
I liked that the hostel provided shampoo and bodywash. The position and connection in Sugamo is perfect to get into the city quickly and Sugamo itself provides lots of shops and things to see. The little lockers in the washroom are good enough to store little hygiene products. Bigger Valuables should be taken and not left in the bedroom since they could be stolen

GermanyThe bathroom and the hallway to the bathroom was very dirty. I don't blame the staff, because I saw alot off guest not clean after them selves. Many just did not obey the house shoe policy. The luggage spot was a mess. It seems a man was sleeping in the luggage spot in room B. The locks weren't looked by the guests, which ment everyone could just walk anywhere. The automatic door locks in room A didn't work properly.
I liked the curtain to have some privacy. The AC was nice.

United Kingdom1: the location isn’t easy to find with maps. 2: the codes never change on the doors so your stuff technically isn’t safe. 3: we had someone staying there for a week that has to have the police called because he didn’t even pay for the room and knew the codes to the doors. 4:the people banging and banging keeping up until 4 in the morning then being woken up an hour later. 5: if you want a clean towel? bring your own otherwise you will have to pay and I quite “maybe ¥1,000” so around $10 for a clean towel. you don’t really have a place to sit the have quiet time to yourself.
it was comfortable enough. you got your towel, your blanket, bed etc. 1 plug socket. they did have a kettle, fridge and microwave. it was clean enough I guess. the location in general is perfect. right beside sugamo station and you have some cool arcades around the area.

FranceI had trouble to find it as there's no sign outside. It's actually just after the clinic, in the same building as the box club. It's very close to the train station, so it's very noisy. Wifi was very poor, I had the farthest bed from the hall and I could barely have signal.
It's cheap so you get what you paid for. It looks a bit dodgy at first sight but it's not that bad. Showers and toilets were clean. Bed are comfy enough.
