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 reviewStaff were amazing, room design was clean and classy. For a night it may be the best hostel I have stayed in, it felt more like a hotel than a hostel experience. It’s not exactly social but that’s more due to of Hildesheims character rather than any fault of the hostel, however the room is spacious, with cabin like beds and a full curtain. With a small group it would be a really nice location with a sofa and a large table too!
A tiny bit out the centre but who cares

Verified reviewQuiet location, parking nearby, clean facility, stores and services in the immediate neighbourhood. Instractions for self check-in came in the right time
Absence of staff (rather a feature, not a defect), relatively small room
Hi Petr, Thank you for visiting us at the Schlafladen! As you've hopefully noticed, we're very interested in ensuring our guests feel comfortable and leave us with fond memories. Your rating for us clearly has room for improvement, and we'd like to get there. Perhaps you have a moment and the inclination to write us a few words about what was missing to give us a full rating, so you'll feel even more comfortable with us next time! Thank you in advance and best regards from Hildesheim Björn

Verified reviewEverything's much more wonderful than I expected. Here are a few things you should know: 1. Earplugs are provided, so you can escape from the noise. 2. If you're not planning to drive, make sure to arrive at Hildesheim Hbf before 7 p.m., as buses run very infrequently. 3. Your roommates matter. I stayed for three nights, and on the last night, one particular person gave me an unforgettable night because of their body odor. That was just my experience — but if you're booking now, you might end up making a great new friend instead.

Verified reviewDecent comfort for the money
No parkig.I had to drive miles around the neighbourhood to find a spot and then walk back (more than 1 km )
Thanks for your feedback! You arrived late, but there were a lot of free parking lots near the building. I don´t know, what kind of car you have, but for a normal car or a van there are always free parking lots. If you had asked before the arrival we could have shown you. Sorry for the trouble!

Verified reviewI arrived quite late in the evening, but there is an a computer system set up to get signed in and get your card. I was messaged beforehand so I knew what to do when I got there. There are clean towels ready for you when you arrive, as well as good showering facilities and lockers provided with padlocks. I stayed in the hostel room. The beds also had curtains for privacy, and were more spacious than other hostels I've stayed at.
I was there only one night, but there was no staff interaction, although this is really not a big deal. Without a bus, it's a bit of a journey to get there from the train station. Make sure you know how to buy tickets online for the bus (I didn't) or carry cash for a bus ticket. The only ATM I could find at Hildesheim station charged 5.5 Euros for a withdrawal.

Verified reviewOne of the best hostels I’ve been to. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. The checkin was very simple and automated, it’s easy to check-in if you’re arriving on the weekend or after work hours. It was also very clean and comfortable.

Verified reviewThe hostel is one of the most beautiful hostels I have ever stayed in so far! It was clean, comfy and well-designed!
It was a little bit outside of the city but wasn't a big problem since the city is so small. Even though I liked the hostel a lot, I still think that the price for a single bed in a hostel room is a little bit expensive.
