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.).

CanadaIt took me abit to get the sheets on my bed organized...so I didn't feel the coolness of the mattress. I was able to open the window a crack...to let in some fresh air, which was good. I am 63 and haven't stayed in a Hostel, since I was in my 20's. It is a very nice Hostel, with some really nice hiking trails nearby. I went for a hike up the Ribbon Creek Trail. It is a beautiful hike.
It is a very nice Hostel. It was clean. I appreciated the welcoming by the staff. They showed me around. I liked the shower area.

CanadaOne thing I noticed that there should be lamps on each bunk bed in all the dorms. Having the lights flicked on for the whole room, while the host checked in new guests @9:30pm while 3 of us were asleep was not good. I think the host should do the check in information in the other room, and that each bunk should be numbered. Having to walk in an tell guests where there is a bunk bed at night is not ok. I have stayed in many hostels. If the main room light is off, keep it off, go to your bunkbed with your cell flash light, and turn on your bunks light. Being startled I jumped up in bed from the light, then the host said " No one must be sleeping". Please. Label the beds, give out the letter or number upon check in, talk with guests outside of the dorm, and apply a light to all bunks. Also, please lock the front door at night time, so weirdos don't come in to the building. Being open 24/7 is not a good idea. A code for guests would work well.
I love staying here. The location is great.

CanadaThe private rooms are small so not a lot of room to maneuver. The bed was comfortable but not amazing. The bathroom shower was okay but not great and was shared with 2 other rooms. The coffee maker didn't work so well. The only doors that locked were the bedroom doors. The outside door and hallway door to the rooms were never locked.
The hostel is typical. It is clean and there are 3 private rooms in addition to the dorms. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The common sitting area is large with a fire place and comfortable chairs/couches. The location is great. There is an outdoor bonfire area and a bbq.
