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.).

NetherlandsI only disliked having to share a bathroom, but I knew that beforehand.
I loved nearly everything, rooms are pretty basic but clean, comfortable and private. It's easy to meet people and have a great time. I like the age bracket because it allows you to meet people your age. Also great location and price!

AustraliaMy quilt had a few marks on it and the fridge is very small for the number of people there. Make sure you keep your shopping bag as it makes it much easier to keep track of your items in the fridge
Easy check in, staff were amazing and so friendly, the bar is pretty cool (just remember to bring cash or pay for 2 beers and come back later for the second one). It was a fun spot that can be a party hostel if that's what you want but you can also go to your room and have it be relatively quiet! The location is amazing - it's a very short walk to the main strip. There is a 141 bus that runs regularly if your legs are tired from hiking

ChinaThe washing machine is a little bit confused. But it is not a fault of this hostel😂
This hostel has such a great atmosphere — I feel really lucky to have met amazing roommates and incredibly friendly staff. The staff were always happy to share detailed hiking tips, which made my stay even better. I also loved the surroundings. At night, I could fall asleep to the sound of waterfalls and enjoy the stunning starry sky after dark. It was such a peaceful and magical experience. I’d definitely love to come back here again if I have the chance!

United StatesThe bathrooms did not have any essentials like shampoo, body wash or conditioner although mentioned in the description. Bed needs to have anti slippery pads.
I liked the location. It is very close to the bus station. We got a good room that had a very great view of the valley and the waterfalls. Rooms were clean. We got the upgraded twin bed room. The staff were very friendly and provided great recommendations for nearby things to do.

From walking in, the reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They offered activity suggestions and also would do research for you if needing to know what’s open. I was supposed to only spend 3 nights there but I extended it to 6 because I had such a great experience. Gigi at the bar is one of a kind and facilitates a great night.
