Frequently asked questions

Are BookOrSkip reviews independent from Airbnb and Booking.com?

Yes. BookOrSkip is an independent review platform with no ties to Airbnb, Booking.com or any host. Reviews come from real guests and can't be edited, removed or paid for by the property — so you get an honest BOOK or SKIP verdict, not marketing.

Can I check reviews for a specific Airbnb listing?

Yes. Paste the Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or Hostelworld link on BookOrSkip and we take you straight to that exact place's page — with its score, pros and cons, and honest guest reviews. If the listing is new to us, we create the page so you can be the first to review it.

How is the BookOrSkip score calculated?

The BookOrSkip score runs from 0 to 10 and is the average of honest ratings from real guests across cleanliness, location, noise, Wi-Fi, value and safety. A score of 7.0 or higher earns a BOOK; below that it's a SKIP.

Why are these reviews more honest than on the booking platforms?

On Airbnb, hosts can review guests back, so travelers fear retaliation and leave reviews that are too positive. BookOrSkip is independent and reviewers stay pseudonymous — the host never knows who wrote the review — so guests can be fully honest without fear.

Is BookOrSkip free to use?

Yes. Searching, checking the BookOrSkip score and reading the BOOK or SKIP verdict are completely free. You only need a free account to write your own review.
