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.).

NetherlandsSometimes the terrace door next to my bed would be open making the room cold, then later it would get boiling hot from the AC. I wish the temperature was better regulated in the shared rooms.
Pretty much all good. The place was easy to find, in a very convenient location. There was a nice bar and a chill area where I could even work from. Bunk beds had enough privacy and comfort.

ChinaLocated not on the Main Street. I felt safe but the local reminded me to be alert because there might be thieves in this neighborhood Better to come back before darkness.
Good location walkable to metro and most of the main attractions. Free welcome beer and good vibe in the bar.

CanadaBreakfast time was too late. It should have been open latest 7:00 am, not 8:00 am. I was not able to have my breakfast because I had to leave before 8 am.
The bed was comfortable.

United KingdomOnly drawbacks are the hand basin in the room rather than the bathroom so it’s a bit noisier if someone is using during the night. The room door is not soundproof to the corridor and unfortunately my dorm was beside the stairs and could hear everytime the stair door was opened/closed and if people were talking in the corridor it sounded quite loud in the room.
Great location, and lovely lobby and bar attached to the hostel. Stayed in 4-bed female dorm. Beds are comfy and have socket, shelf and privacy curtain. Handy to have both under bed locker and freestanding locker.

FranceCan be a little stuffy if we don’t open the windows (there’s AC but fresh air would be nice too). The room was facing the courtyard and it can be a little noisy at night from the restaurant/bar. There is no kitchen to use (no fridge or microwave) but we were able to take utensils from the restaurant if we need it.
Very large hostel - has 2 buildings. Bunk beds were very sturdy and safe.

United StatesBreakfast is worth the add-on. It’s like an extra $5-10 a day, which is about what could get at a cafe elsewhere in the city. But it’s great if you want to just eat and then head out. There is very little / not very good vegetarian options, FYI. Beds are super comfy, the blackout curtains are great as well. Having plugs and personalized lights is so wonderful, compared to other hostels. The guided tours were amazingly, and the WiFi actually works which is so helpful. There are also areas for you to work, but gotta shoo some people speaking loudly or taking calls to find another area. The staff’s English is really good, and they’re super helpful. Bathroom is cleaned daily. Lockers are spacious, so you get one under your bed, and one in the bathroom. You even get cubbies for your bathroom supplies (like toothbrush, toothpaste).

United States- Room was a bit hot at night but it was too loud to leave the patio door open - It always bothers me when hostels nickel and some you by charging for a towel. I mean, come on, do you want people not to shower?
My ideal bunk design: sturdy( built-in bunks with curtains, a shelf, outlet, light, and lockable storage drawer. Cute lobby, excellent location in the funky La Latina neighborhood, and very helpful staff. Reasonably quiet at night.
