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.).

FranceThere's only one plug for the whole room. Yes there is a USB plug next to each bed, but with technology now that's USB C to USB C, having one plug for 6 people is not good.. What about to charge other things? Also, it's next to the sink! So whatever you charge there, it's going to get slightly wet when someone brushes their teeth of washes their face. Also, the key card almost always does not work. We made do by not locking the door when we go out to the toilets but imagine being the first one to enter the room during the day, and you can't get in.
The common room is good and spacious, hot showers, decent breakfast. Location may be a bit off from the center but easily reachable by 10 min bus.

United KingdomLack of kitchen - one fridge that is stuffed to the brim and has no apparent order to it. One microwave and a couple of kettles...would expect proper cooking facilities to be available in this kind of place. Bathrooms do not smell fresh. No soaps provided.
Comfy bed. Friendly roommates. Good outdoor space. Decent location with amazing views of the mountains. Super helpful staff.

United KingdomBe aware of where it is. You will need to bus in or walk 30 mins to get into Chamonix town. It wasn’t a problem for me, just be aware. There is no self-catering kitchen - different countries have very different ways of doing hostel kitchens so just be aware - there is a fridge, kettle and microwave for you to use with some basic crockery etc. lots of us were eating salads and home made sandwiches etc that don’t require much prep.
Really nice vibe here. There are sheep and goats and chickens, a vege garden. Breakfast has anything you could want. The staff are really helpful - be sure to ask for anything you need/ any questions you have. They have great deals on lift passes etc. There is a good supermarket nearby. I mainly drove into Flegeres (other end of town) where the cable car has free parking and you can access lots of hikes. Plentiful parking at the hostel.

SwedenVery good location, quiet and calm but also just ca 10 min walk to the city center. Parking is plenty. Facilities are clean and there was no wait for the shower. The breakfast was perfectly good. Seriously, this is an affordable place. It's not a luxury hotel but you get everything that's on the label and more than that. There are quiet hours after 10 so there's no ongoing party all night (wasn't noisy at all when I was there) Don't know if it says so but you can do your laundry here as well so if you're travelling through it's a good opportunity.

AustraliaMy card didn’t work for my room. I got it changed and it didn’t work again. The cards for my room mates also didn’t work despite getting theirs also changed (room 4). Only 1 charger in the room :/
Had a really good vibe about it. Everyone was friendly, facilities were good enough. Small rooms were good.

China1. There is no kitchen in the hostel. As this place is a bit remote from the down, and dinner time is fixed at 7.45pm. it would be nice to have a proper kitchen. 2. You may encounter summer camp where lots of kids might make big noises. so it is necessary to remind the tourism team with proper statement.
1. I had a problem booking with the Aiguille du Midi as I never received the confirmation email from the organization. Julia was really helpful that she helped me call them and eventually got my confirmation letter. 2. Julia was very responsive when I complained about the noises being made by a group of people in the night. Always attentive to guests’ communication. 3. The hostel offers host card so you can travel by train for free during the stay. Hopefully bus would be covered too in the future. 4. There is regular live music down the reception hall, and it does create very positive energy.
