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.).

Czech RepublicTheir breakfast is overpriced for what you get, but you don't need it when there's an Alepa downstairs.
It's a great place if you just need to stay somewhere for a couple of nights. No luxury, but you get everything you need. It's usually not extremely noisy either.

SerbiaEven though the night is very cheap, everything else was being charged, like towels, slippers, chargers. The rooms felt small and crowded.
A very cheap price and a place full of people to meet and socialize. The rooms were a bit small, but clean and the location is good considering the public transport connections.

Czech RepublicNot a complaint, just a suggestion. My roommates put all their luggage right in front of the lockers in the room so I couldn't use mine. It was late at night so I decided not to wake them up because of that, but it was very upsetting. Maybe it would be a good idea to put some sort of a sign on the lockers to remind people not to block the way for other guests.
Bus goes straight from the airport almost right to the hostel. Nice staff, cosy place. I didn't use the kitchen or showers but everything was clean and seemed to be in good condition. No complaints at all.

JapanThe hostel is far from the city center, so taking the tram is essential. Each bunk bed lacks a curtain, and the lower bunks have almost no space to hang clothes. With many beds in one room (I stayed in a 16-bed dorm), people tend to come and go frequently at night. The chances of having inconsiderate roommates are also higher. In addition, because the reception is open 24 hours (which can be a plus for some), there’s a good chance of people entering or leaving during the night. A truly restful night’s sleep is not guaranteed, so I wouldn’t recommend it to light sleepers. During the day, someone in the room might be sleeping, making it awkward to turn on the lights. Towel rental is not free — it costs €3.
For Finland, where prices are generally very high, this hostel is relatively affordable. Large lockers are available. A supermarket is located on the ground floor of the same building. A tram stop is almost right in front of the hostel. The bus stop for the 600 bus to the airport is only a few minutes’ walk away, making airport access easy. Detailed transport information is provided for getting to the airport and the city center, with a digital screen showing upcoming departure times. The common area is very spacious, almost like a co-working space. Frequent events are held for guests.

ChinaThe metal bunks were very low and I nailed my head on it a few times😅. Whenever the guy above me rolled over the whole thing shookand I was jarred awake.
The front desk staff was amazing!! They recommended a place for me to eat and I had requested a lower bunk near the window and they fully accommodated me no worries. Everything was very clean and welcoming. The key card activated lockers were really cool, although they were not large enough to accomodate my carry-on suitcase.
