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.).

Hong KongThe hot water in shower room is just warm after 11am. But it's hot in the afternoon. Take early slower.
It's a very social hostel. Staff are very helpful provide tour and activities information and book for you. The here breakfast is tasty with home made jam, juice, milk, banana and toast. The bar open till 11am. Laundry is cheapest I ever seen in hostel, $5 for 5 kg. 3 minutes walk to the thermal. 5 to 20 mins walk to main street for the restaurant.

NetherlandsThe staff was quite passive and sometimes rude. It looked like they were understaffed and therefore were unable to help us when we wanted to check in , order food or drinks. Only when we wanted to check out and pay, we were helped with a smile.
Very nice hostel. The communal area is lovely with lots of games and a nice bar. The room was comfortable and clean.

EcuadorThe rooms were a little bit small and dense. Not enough bathrooms for the guests.
The hostel was fully booked. Staff was working over and beyond to make sure every guest was satisfied, including myself. Special mention to Rocio, Carlos and Gerardo who were so helpful and nice! I'll definitely will come back to this hostel whenever I'll visit Montevideo again.

United KingdomThe bathrooms in the rooms smelt of drains a lot, which wasn't nice. Top bunks don't have barriers, and my bed was very wobbly. The bathrooms didn't get thoroughly cleaned as there was still shaving stubble in the sink after it had been cleaned
Nice location just out of town so not much street noise. Social area is great, pool table, table tennis and table football etc. Very sociable

AustraliaThe actual street the hostel was located on felt really unsafe. I saw a few things that made me not feel very comfortable walking alone. Staff gave different information about tours/ bus times to travellers which were incorrect. The washing I got done was not at all clean
Beds were clean and comfy and the included breakfast was really great. Hiring bikes at the hostel and booking trips was easy. I really liked how the common area had all the movies for the tv.

AustraliaRooms could get a bit warm so a fan option would of been convenient but otherwise a great accommodation option.
Staff were excellent and rooms were quite big for a hostel. TV had netflix and Prime capabilities so that was a bonus and the Bar/restaurant was very reasonably priced. For a small kitchen the food was excellent.

United Kingdom$10 deposit for towels and key but they is obviously a reason for this. Communal kitchen was hard to find, had to ask twice where it was. We ate dinner out and brought some food back to have for lunch the following day. We put the food in the communal fridge in the kitchen but someone had taken it the following day. When talking to a couple in the hostal the same thing had happen with their food. This is not the responsibility of the hostel to protect food in a communal fridge but it was a shame that this happened at least twice in 24 hours.
Great location, secure. Several friendly cats roaming around. Entrance is by a locked door that you press the door bell for the gate to be unlocked. Nice simple breakfast of tea/coffee, & juice. Eggs, homemade bread and fruit. Huge bed and private bathroom in the private room. There is a kitchen to make your own food and also a reception room with tables and chairs, sofas, bar and small restaurant and pool table so a nice combo of do it yourself or cheap bar/restaurant. Comfy hammocks outside to relax in and a huge free car park, again behind a big secure gate.
