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.).

IndiaI loved this place so much. I stayed in a dorm which has Aircon, lockers, comfy bed & it was super clean. Hosts were very welcoming & nice in talking, one evening we all went to a music festival and it was a very nice experience. They also have a community kitchen & free water refilling. I booked Mt. Bromo tour with them & I also had very good and smooth experience with this tour. I could have spent more time in this hostel but didn't know that my stay would be that great. I am sure I will come back soon here one day :)

The quarter is nice and peaceful, not really far from the city center. The staff are amazing, so kind, helpful and fun, helped me buy medication when I was sick! Also, a special thanks to Fara who brought me to visit Malang one afternoon and we had such a great time ! Thank you and take care guys !

IrelandI spent hours reading and journaling. It felt calm and safe, even for a solo female traveler. The rooms were basic but clean, and the showers had hot water (which I didn’t expect!). Staff were soft-spoken and respectful, and the other guests were laid-back—not rowdy backpackers, which I appreciated. A great choice if you’re looking to unwind for a few days.

United KingdomThe staff are super friendly and helpful, making sure you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. I loved the social atmosphere—met so many great people here. The dorm is spacious, with good ventilation and a view of the mountains during sunset. Also, the shared facilities are very clean. They even offer tours to Bromo at a very reasonable price!

IsraelThe location is quiet but a bit away from."the center". You will most likely use a grab I found the waterfall tour expensive for it's value. The waterfalls are great but you get there in a regular car and get a non English speaking guide. For a 2hr drive and 3 hr stay would have expected a shared experience with others to be more economical
Everything you need from a quiet room to a hot shower to nice staff

IndonesiaNo AC, the room's pretty warm in the evening/night. No hot shower. No locker (but can leave important stuff to the receptionist). There's on going renovation in the hostel, a bit noisy in the morning.
It's clean, free drinking water and coffee. Okay for a transit. Welcoming staff.

Austriamaybe some more hooks in the room on the wall for hanging up some clothes and maybe a mirrow in the bathrooms :)
amazing people and wonderful place to feel safe and comfortable - although I book d a private room there is the kitchen area, where people come together - a fridge to use, free drinking water (cold and hot for coffee/tea), small kitchen to cook :) - room was alright, just I was not aware that the bathroom is also to use outside (one with hot water and one without, there is soap and shampoo available in everyone) - the location was great, around 30-40 minutes walk from the center, but also nice food and a fruit shop around - thanks for the caring and help anytime, I needed it!! great work, keep going :) ps: also you can book the Bromo tour (550.000 IDR) and Ijen tour (350.000 IDR wirhout the transport) or shuttles to every city around through them very easy :))
