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.).

The rooms and there's no Air conditioning in summer and it can get hot. The least they could provide is a fan in the dorms.

Verified reviewIt'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.
Their breakfast is overpriced for what you get, but you don't need it when there's an Alepa downstairs.

Verified reviewThe lowest price in town, but it was impossible to sleep here and I felt awful after my stay. A door kept banging endlessly, there was constant noise and talking, and the beds were wobbly with old blankets and mattresses waiting for you. Nobody even asked me which bunk I preferred, and the “exit” sign was shining straight into my eyes all night!

Verified reviewSecure , clean hostel just outside the centre of Helsinki but tram ,bus stops very close. One great feature is they have a live departure board for transport so you know when to leave.
Nothing bad to report, this is the 2nd time at the hostel and would be my go to play when I am next in Helsinki.

Old and worn out hostel. Smelly areas from all The cooking. Stuffy rooms, no ventilation. The bunk Bed was creaky and rattled every time The person on top moved a bit. Even though the staff tries to clean, the place is crowded and the bathrooms reminded me of public restrooms.

Verified reviewthe international atmosphere because of the people. There are lots of people there, and you can meet people and have a conversation.
They never change the mattress covers; one sleeps on the mattress cover used by the person who was there the night before. They only change the duvet cover, which is unhygienic.

Verified reviewthe hostel and staff was amazing and helpful they even allowed me to keep my luggage and let me sit there for hours even after i checked out.
I would rate it as 10 but the i really struggled with toilets. There was no exhaust system in the toilet on floor no 4 so whenever u walk in, u always smell pee which gave me soo much ick.
