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.).

TurkeyThe hostel staff especially the reception staff, are friendly, talkative and helpful. The hostel is generally very clean. The area is mostly local and very fun. It's also great that you can find a bar, restaurant and coffee shop right outside the door. I definitely recommend it. I can say it's the best among the hostels I've stayed in. I'll come back and stay again. Thank you.

IranThe beds don’t have curtains so you don’t have that much privacy also here you have to rent towels or buy the shampoos as they won’t be included in your booking so for one night it will be 10% of your total stay costs :)

CanadaThe staff and facilities are amazing. I travelled out of Canada for the first time on my own and was afraid of what to expect. When my cards weren't working the staff was there to help me through it. They are all very accommodating and helpful. The owner is awesome. The cleanliness is also so impressive! And all the kitchen appliances are impressive as well as all the dishes, pots, etc. truly exceptional, thank you when in Athens. Also spot is in a good area and the hostel has loads of security. If you're a solo traveller and are unsure where to stay, stay here :)

GreeceVery clean and safe establishment! The staff was friendly and ready to help you with anything ! Rooms were enough spacy and clean with storing space for luggages, sockets next to each bed, even a shelf over the mattress. Linens and couvets were clean and fresh. Towel was same (after rending one).the common areas looked joyful and the hostel is next to a vivid area where you can enjoy company, chats and drinks! Very close to fast foods, mini markets , stores, metro, busses. I recommend it fir sure! Thanks
