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.).

GermanyStaircase and bathrooms were a little small Unfortunatly we had a vandalism situation when we parked our car at the parking slot right next to the hostel... Anyways the staff did everything they could you to help us
Great, friendly staff Minimalistic rooms but with everything you need and funny way of organizing the beds (in our room the beds were named after different scotish clans) Location was awesome, everything can be reached by foot We cooked two times at the hostel and had a great choice of common stuff for cooking (oel, spices, pots etc) All in all clean - they even changed the towels in the bathrooms two times a day!

RomaniaThe problem was the lack of lockers and the lack of plugging places to charge your phone. They were only on one side, and if you had a bed above, you didn’t have the chance to charge your phone while being in bed.
It was a comfortable bed in, also nice toilets and showers. The location was relatively ok. Also the lounge was super nice, with a lovely view above the city.

United KingdomI didnt like the fact that - having checked out at 8:30am, and left my orange jacket and scarf in the room with only 2 single beds used, noone (staff) thrice answered the phone at 9, 10, or 11am. Having returned to hostel for them at 1pm, staff David handed me my jacket without its many pocket contents... Also, the jacket and scarf were in 2 very separate lockers which further concerned me on his disingenious initial insistence nothing had been found... :( Best wishes, Nuno
The comfort of my room and overall stay.

CanadaNothing.
Staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. Kitchen and communal lounge areas are decked out: plenty of seating space, plug sockets, tables for electronics and whatnot, complementary tea, coffee and hot chocolate available all day, every cooking tool you need and even loads of free spices to prepare your own meals. Toilets and shower areas can be a tight squeeze but not to a point they were problematic, plus they were always fresh and tidy. Bunk beds are comfortable and sturdy (top ones bolted to the wall so minimal shaking is felt when either person moves). I didn't need to use them, but I saw the hostel can provide earplugs in case of noisy roommates. Wifi is a good speed. Finally, laundry is cheap compared to all public laundrettes in the area.

United StatesI didn’t like that there weren’t lockers in the room for baggage. It was quite cramped in there with all our stuff and there wasn’t much space to put your bag(s) and dedicated lockers would have been nice to help sort out the space instead of having one or two people take up the little free space that existed. (Plus it would be added security.) Not a super huge deal, but mildly inconveniencing. I also wish that each bed got a plug next to it. From what I could tell, there was only one power strip that everyone was sharing.
Great location in Inverness. It’s a short walk to the river or the central part of the city. Everything was very clean and check in was super easy. It’s in a quieter street, so there wasn’t too much noise. The view from my window was quite nice too!

Overall it is clean, there are large spaces and the location is very convenient having close to both the station and the city center. There is the possibility of cooking and you can enjoy breakfast with a small addition of a few pounds. The girl at reception was very friendly and helpful during check in.
