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.).

AustraliaI can't think of anything, perhaps the bathroom could have been larger in proportion to the room? Everything was great.
We loved the location - so central to all the good stuff and to transport. It was a large, clean room and the airconditioning was most welcome - I just had to text reception to request the temperature and they were very responsive so we got a comfortable night's sleep. There was a great kitchen area for our section and it was brand new and clean. Couldn't fault the place.

United StatesHotel is being refurbished and we stayed at a room on the 1st floor, which is not super convenient - no elevator access, to cite one. Also we could smell sewage from our room, from some construction at street level.
Location and staff are great, close to many options for food, grocery stores, shops, and easy access to public transportation.

HungaryIt is under construction so we had some noise in the morning and it hasn't looked like a proper hostel yet. But they are working on it.
The rooms are modern and it is close to Kálvin tér which has the metro line 3 and 4 so you can easily get anywhere. The staff members are also kind.

IrelandThe bathrooms are mixed which wasn’t ideal and shower drain isn’t the best but they were still very clean.
Probably the nicest me and my group have stayed in yet. The rooms , the kitchen and the whole hostel itself is extremely clean. Beds were comfy and there is lockers under the bed aswell to keep storage. The hostel smelled good which we had problems with other hostels. They had a laundry service where they washed and dried our clothes for us and was done within 4 hours. Me and 2 others pays 10euro for a wash in total which was great. Staff were friendly. Kitchen is very big and lots of fridges to store food and drinks. There was curtains at each bed which was really nice as it made ir very private.

PolandI felt comfortable and safe in the Flow Spaces hostel. Its location was really good - very central + close to the metro station and bus stop from which it is easy to get to the airport. The personnel was friendly and easy going. Hostel itself is big and it is located in a beautiful old building. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy. Toilets and showers were also good. I can only recommend this place to fellow travelers who are looking for an affordable option in the very heart of a Budapest :)

CanadaAlthough is not something to dislike, as a foreigner arriving to Budapest for the first time, found initially not easy to find the hostel. But with help from locals I was able to locate it, and is indeed very close to downtown and the river bridge.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Washing facilities are available at reasonable cost. There is a room to use computers, an ample kitchen/restaurant, and washrooms are clean. They provide keys for lockers, so your belongings are safe.

SpainThe fridges were quiet small, being full rather quickly and struggling to put things inside. The way the shared showers are set up, even if they have doors the water would go under wetting the entire bathroom. I personally didn't mind but bathrooms and showers are not gendered.
Very comfy, it has everything you need (but the towel, towel is paid), it has extra space above the bed to put your things. The bathrooms spacious, big kitchens and plenty space to sit down and do work, read or winddown. Staff is very helpful. The place was close supermarket and the main market so I had no issue finding food.

NetherlandsThe bunkbed design was a bit inconvenient... the box above the bed wasn't really a good idea. I always had to mind my head whenever I climbed up the upper bed. Also, narrow & cylindrical ladders were a bit dangerous for me to climb.
I like the spacious & equipped kitchen, also the provided hairdryer in the bathroom. I was also fortunate to get free food for dinner, somebody made it.

American SamoaSome older (45+) longer term guests seemed to roam in the property in some weird way. Showers were not draining properly. The temperature was too hot during summer until they switched on the AC. the distribution of the tables on the main area and silent area is pretty bad. There should be bigger tables as they foster the community better than small round tables.
I loved the dorms, beds were quite ok, with good lockers and overall a very safe feel. Bathroom area was generally quite clean and fairly comfortable. Main shared spaces were quite ok too with the kitchen area being good for mingling.
