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 reviewThe room is really small, but it's a good option if you want to stay in a budget. The mattresses are nice compared to other hostels, and we had a good sleep. The hostel is really quiet.
The kitchen is not well equipped, making it difficult to cook. Also, our room was not as well mantained as the other rooms we saw.

Verified reviewDifficult to find the entrance. Very small room. No lights in the room, they were broken, and the only solution was to bring an additional table lamp. Common toilets not too clean.

Verified reviewNice location
The staff was without any emotions and rude, I needed to call to understand which room is my. Also they just didn't answer me in chat. The window wasn't great because I couldn't close it fully. Also there was a hole on the ceiling

Verified reviewThe hostel is easily accessible, located 15-20 minutes' walk from the center of Helsinki and the train station. The hostel is quiet and cozy, with adequate facilities and reliable Wi-Fi. There is a market next door.

Verified reviewNeat shower, toilet, clean bedding, comfortable bed. The room was small, but had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The room is hot, but when you open the window, the room is aired out. A beautiful panorama of Helsinki opens from the window.
The cleanliness of the kitchen is really not that great. I would rate it 6 out of 10.

Verified reviewIt's a clean place, check in process was okay. Room is bit small but with a nice view. Public transport is about a 10 minute walk away.
Endless empty corridor with lots of identical rooms, so it felt a bit soulless. But for this price that's what you get in Helsinki

Verified reviewThe location was great and the rooms quiet and the shower had good flow.
The cutlery and plates in my room were mucky. There was one sponge to clean with in the kitchen and someone had got raw chicken all over it so as a vegan I didn't use any of the kitchen stuff again.

Verified reviewThe hostel was well situated to Helsinki harbour. 20 minutes walk.
You had to walk through a multi-story car park to get to the hostel. Google maps took you to the car park. The instructions went to my spam in my mail. So after an hour of looking I rang them up. They sent the instructions by text. The hostel was on the 11th floor of a working office block. Very confusing place. You need to explain to people before hand the hostel is in a office block.

Verified reviewThe view from this property is incredible even though the location is inside what feels like an abandoned office block. The code lock on the door is great, meaning you don’t have keys to forget. But I would suggest writing it on your hand so you don’t have to bring your phone everywhere you go. The provided fan worked well. Staff were very quick to respond when I locked myself out my room, despite not being on site.
The room was HOT. Even when you figure out how to open the window and turn the fan on full blast, it is still like sleeping in an oven. I barely slept due to the heat. The bed was comfortable, but very narrow. There were lots of little bugs all over the bedding near the window. The bathrooms are clean, but I would have appreciated a lock on the outside of the bathroom, ensuring a private tooth brushing experience. People kept walking in. The lock on the toilet didn’t work well. It was very easily opened, even when properly locked.

Verified reviewVery easy self check-in. Great view. Close enough to the public transport and city centre. Bathrooms and toilets were clean. There is a small but quite good supermarket just across the square.
Kitchen had almost no utensils, plates and pans to use. Microwave did work fine so I just got ready meals from the store across the square. Rooms were clean and spacious but some things were falling apart a bit.
