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.).

Italy"Quiet time" is not underlined as much as in other hostels. Heard loud voices of people arriving late at 10.30pm and leaving early at 5am. The hostel is spread over three buildings and you have to use key cards to get in and out. A less friendly family feeling than other hostels.
Good hostel with good location and views. Reasonable large carpark (£5 for 24hrs).

IsraelThere were no vegs or even eggs for breakfast, only cereals, bread, yogurt. No shampoo in the bathroom (but we had our own).
The hostel is in Portree, near all the shops and restaurants. The beds are clean and comfortable. They have a sitting place and a kitchen. The breakfast is reasonably priced.

SingaporeNo free parking No lift to reach room, had to climb many stairs with luggages to reach it. Window mechanism hard to operate
The room has a sea view with a good sized toilet. Location is good and near co-op superstore and town center. The room has good ventilation as there are windows on both ends of the room Available laundry service and full shared kitchen facility.

United StatesOnly thing that would have made it a bit better would have been a bit more space in the bunk room.
Location was great and very close to town square, but the common room had a nice view of the shore. Room for 4 women had two sets of bunk beds. They were fine but room was fairly small ... not much space to put your suitcase, etc. Common areas were great ... kitchen, bathrooms, dining area, sitting area. Just what you would hope for in a hostel situation.

United KingdomThe bedroom was sold like a hotel room with nice lighting and a kettle in room but the bathroom decor was poor , the bathroom basin was no more than a hand basin . The mattress on the double bed was extremely soft and the bed itself was of no use to anyone over 6’4” as the was a head board either end . I am 6’7” so I struggled
Excellent location , nice room but it was on the side of road so had to keep window shut to reduce traffic noise and blind closed for privacy . Excellent self catering kitchen , great lounge and laundry drying facilities .

TaiwanThe hostel is in a great location with a nice view in front. The room is clean and comfortable, and the staff at the front desk are very friendly. The only downside is that the toilet flush was difficult to use — I had to lift the lid in order to get it to flush properly.

SpainGood location and staff, parking in front (5£ for the day) You can clean and dry your clothes (4 pm to 8pm) However, it's inconvenient that the 3 buildings are separate, you need to go out to go to the main building (kitchen) to the bedrooms The mattress was tiny for two and not comfortable. There is no space to put your clothes in the bedroom

United KingdomTV did not work. I was there for work so a TV for the evenings would have been nice. Room was also noisy, not from guests, but the wind whistling through the building.
Room was spacious and clean. Bedding, towels and kettle provided. Access to the shared cooking facilities and fridge is a great bonus.
