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.).

PolandThe only thing I didn't enjoy was the fact that you have to pay 15 euro for laundry. But there is a laundromat quite close to the hostel :)
Really amazing hostel, clean and modern. The swimming pool and the whole rooftop area is super cool! Also I stayed in an all female dorm and was very happy with the en suite bathroom there :) it is 15 minutes walk from the city centre, but a bus that takes you to the best trails stops right next to the hostel

Czech RepublicI would enrich the breakfast of some fruits/vegetables. Just to make it a little bit more variable and healthier. Otherwise no complaints.
The hostel has very friendly vibes. The guests can meet at a terrace with beautiful view to the ocean. The cleanliness was generally good. I felt very safe inside the hostel and even comfortable on the bunk bed - you can close the curtains and create a little "bedroom" of your own. Also the neighborhood felt very safe. It was my first experience with a hostel and taking into account the price and service, it was definitely not the last:)

NetherlandsLaundry is €15. That is very pricey.
Good location at the oceanfront, free parking available, well equipped kitchen, free breakfast, relatively clean, nice common area, met lots of cool people, good wifi, bunk beds have privacy screens for a bit of privacy. Fun having breakfast together with the other guests. I would definitely stay here again.

BulgariaTerrible smell from the bathroom drain. There is no soundproofing and in the morning, when the girl starts preparing the breakfast, absolutely everyone wakes up. This is something you might think about.
Very nice place with nice guests and staff. Convenient location, there is a place to park if you have a rental car. Nice restaurants nearby. The center is also within walking distance.

NetherlandsWe felt too old for this type of accommodation (we are both 29). We felt like a lot of the people there were on the island for partying, while we are the exploring type. But that’s not the fault of the hostel of course!
We were very happy with the including breakfast. There was fresh bread every morning. There was not much to put on the bread, but it’s easy to get something you like at the grocery store around the corner. Some of the staff were very sympathetic. The beds were comfortable and there are enough showers.

IrelandThe door to the bathroom - there was no curtain, and it was possible to see through - I would recommend to dark them. Ongoing construction in the building bext to hostel -so lots of noice.
This place is more like a share house than hostel, bsc there is mostly no one available in the hostel, so not really able to ask for information- just early morning. So it really depends on the other guests what atmosphere is there. The breakfast was nice and the place was clean. The terrace was nice with amazing view.

CanadaIt felt like there was no one working onsite for most of the day, so if you didn't ask anything you had to first thing in the morning, you might not be able to speak with a staff member again until the next day. This wasn't a problem for me, but it can be confusing for someone wanting to check in late if they don't know what the process is.
The staff were nice and helpful. There is a nice social common area / kitchen. The check-in / check-out process is automatic (though that wasn't clear at first).

BelgiumThe hostel is next to a big street so at the pool, you would hear noises from the street. Same in the room. But it's fine with ear plugs and most of the time you're not there anyways!
The pool was nice and the view too. It was great to have a shared kitchen where you could meet like-minded people! The beds were comfortable and they have a nice section to put your shoes (outside of the room)

United Kingdomcould add some fruit for breakfast, but all good.
Travelled to the Azores for the first time. This hostel is a fantastic spot for backpackers/hikers. The kitchen is well equipped so you can always cook your meals. Breakfast was ok, some bread, cheese ham coffee tea biscuits and muffins. Nothing crazy but good enough to get you going + you can make your own scrambled eggs etc. The showers were good, the outdoor sitting area is great, facing the sea with loads of space to sit, stretch, read etc. Free parking just outside the door. The best part of it would be the living space with big dinning table and sofas where everyone came together at dinner and shared stories, Great place to meet new people. WOULD STAY HERE again 100%
