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 staff is amazing and has great recs for the outdoors. The dorms are well thought out, bright, clean and there was a lot of space for everything I had with me. The kitchen was well equipped and clean and the common areas were cozy. The house itself was a beautiful building. I can only recommend this hostel to everyone!
Nothing negative at all!

Verified reviewWell-equipped and the staff were overall friendly and helpful.
Public transport is limited. I wish breakfast was included. I checked out at the normal time in the morning, but I had to stay in the lobby as there was a storm outside. I was told off for staying in the communal area after the check out time by an older looking guy. Complete disregard that I do not have a car and there’s an amber alert.

Verified reviewI liked the fact that it wasn't a dormitory as I had my youngest son with me so privacy was great.
In my short stay, I honestly can't say there was anything I didn't like.

Verified reviewVery good communal areas for preparing food and socialising with lots of space. The rooms are lovely, higher end than your average hostel. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.
The bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable, bearing in mind most people staying are there for activities, it’s important to be able to get a comfortable nights sleep.

Verified reviewThe Rocks was excellent and I would stay there again. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, and the kitchen and dining area were spacious with lots of equipment and utensils. The reception, living room and fire pit area were comfortable for relaxing and reading. The bunk beds in the shared rooms were comfortable, and each had a light and curtain for privacy. Each bathroom was individual and the showers worked well!

Verified reviewThe location was perfect as it was right next to the start location of the Snowman Triathlon and it has some really nice pubs for breakfast and lunch.
Shared bathrooms can be annoying but it wasn't an issue, always expected at a hostel.

Verified reviewReally nice place, beds were comfy and I liked the privacy of the pod style beds rather than open bunk beds. Kitchen was fantastically kitted for fully cooking meals and the staff were great. Fantastic location for hiking and watersports and easily accessible from the A5.
A little more expensive for a hostel than I’d like but I’d stay there again.
