How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation, and preliminary detailed information
No soap on bath boxes, dirty bedroom carpet, bed linen and gray-brown color. It should be white, so there are no doubts about washing.

Verified reviewGood, reasonably priced hostel in a fairly good location. Clean and well maintained shared bathroom and small central shared area outside of rooms. We had a family room with beds, which was perfect for our 1 night stay.
It was very hot in the bedroom with no air conditioning which was quite uncomfortable during the night, but I am a lady of a certain age so not sure if the others in my party felt the same!

Verified reviewClose to the town and station. Each floor has a set of shower and toilet cubicles for males and females. Common area outside the rooms with a small table. Microwave and kettle available.
No AC on top floor. Gave us fans which did nothing in the size of the room, uncomfortably hot. Check-in is done digitally and no reception - no staff so no-one to speak to about the location or if there were any issues.

Verified reviewVery basic, bedding was very poor, ripped sheets. Room was very small for the four of us and luggage. Was very hot in room. The floor in bathroom was extremely slippy when wet and my 11 yr old son slipped and hurt himself. Bathmats required.

Verified reviewvery clean and comfortable
The room that we had was very small. It's a shame the room for 4 people with 4 single beds wasn't available when we booked. The showers were nice and hot with decent pressure. The bathroom could benefit from a shelf to place items when using the sink.

Noise from a night club disturbed our sleep somewhat.

Verified reviewWe stayed there for one night. It is conveniently located near the city center and the train station. Check-in and check-out were smooth. The room was satisfactory and adequately cleaned. Towels and bed linen were provided.
The bathroom and toilets need better cleaning and organization. The shower area felt overcrowded. Additionally, there were no kitchen supplies such as mugs, glasses, plates, or cutlery.

Verified reviewThe location was great, and the beds were comfortable. Inside the room there were two armchairs and a small table that were very useful.
In the common area there were no cups or plates, so we had to go to the store and buy plastic ones. Maybe it would be nice to have some kitchen supplies for the people staying

We had a room with a low ceiling section (just above our heads), and bumped into the ceiling a few times. Be careful with this. Also had to pay a city tax via bank transfer. In the past I have paid this in person. But there was no staff at the hostel, so bank transfer was the option. I am not a fan of this because as an international traveller, I had to pay an extra fee to do the transfer.
