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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustriaIt’s possible the cleaning staff overlooked the accumulation of hair in the shower drain.
For a city Hostel, quite ok. Warm and friendly staff and environment. Rooms of 4 were well-designed, with each bunk fitted with a reading lamps, power sockets, and light- and sound-blocking curtains. The shared room had one room combining shower toilet and sink. Certainly, long shower takers and teeth brushers are discouraged, but at least one has privacy. Heavy doors in theory block sound from hallways and other rooms, so plus plus there. Summers are getting hotter, and this hostel is probably not alone in failing to fully adapt. A single reciprocating tower fan is all that kept us from melting into the sheets. Mattresses were firm yet yielding. The breakfast was quite balanced and healthy. Soft-boiled eggs were bountiful as well as whole almonds and split cashews for those of us who need protein. A good variety of bread was available, but I failed to notice the toaster in the corner. The coffee was surprisingly good for a machine dispenser.

SwedenThere was quite some hair on the mattress, but I didn't bother cuz I was staying 1 night. The room (incl. the bathroom) wasn't clean and smelled. Lower average experience but expected more from a 4-bed private room at a 35-EUR-night price.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. Convenient distance from the Centralstation.

BrazilMixed experience overall. I traveled overnight from Vienna to Munich, and the journey was quite uncomfortable. I arrived early, really craving a comfortable bed to rest for a few hours before enjoying my Saturday. Unfortunately, my room wasn’t ready, and I had to wait about 30 minutes for it to be cleaned. That might not seem long, but given the circumstances, it felt like precious time I could’ve spent resting. I also had the impression that the room was cleaned in a rush because I was waiting, and it didn’t feel as thoroughly cleaned as it could have been. The mattress was quite uncomfortable, which was disappointing for a single room where you’d expect a bit more comfort. Another detail, possibly just a personal preference, is that I find shower curtains in place of proper shower enclosures a bit unhygienic. Overall, these weren’t major issues for a short two night stay, but they’re worth considering if you plan to stay longer.
Super convenient location if you're arriving by FlixBus or train. You can take the tram, but it's just a 13-minute walk on foot. The room was spacious, and the breakfast was generous and varied, all at a fair price. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay way better.

NetherlandsOne of the guys from the staff. I had breakfast and said I was gonna pay later; later that day, this guy went into the room asking me why haven’t I paid (it was my first out of 3 nights) he was super rude in front of the other guests, as if I wasn’t gonna pay at all.
The breakfast was super good, they borrowed me an umbrella the day it rained:)

FinlandOn the one hand, one of the people who stayed in the room snored very loudly the two nights I overlapped with his stay. It made for a very irritating night. This is not the hostel's problem, but it is a danger one risks when sleeping in rooms with strangers. More importantly, one night I was there there was a VERY loud party of some sort taking place nearby. I believe it was coming from the bar/restaurant area of the hostel on the ground floor, from people watching sports games, but I cannot be certain. I do not think it was coming from one of the sleeping rooms. It 'could' perhaps have come from another facility but it definitely felt like a group of youth within the building. These people yelled and jumped around well past the quiet time of the hostel (10 pm), and although it occurred in the bar area rather than the sleeping area, it still massively disturbed the people trying to sleep. Really the hostel should not allow such activity to occur on its premises after 11 pm at the latest. That is, if it indeed happened within the hostel. Otherwise, the night noise problem was not that great.
It is in a very good location (near a metro stop and a pedestrian area with many affordable places to eat). The breakfast is very good. The facilities I stayed in were good (4 person room). Overall in terms of location a good place to stay for travelers wishing to explore the city or do day trips out of the central train station.
