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 reviewA got one of the best sleep of my life. I really needed that. Capsule had everything I needed. USB, power socket, and most importanly it was dark, dry, and warm.
Showers need fixing but I was able to shower. If guests don't litter, then it's clean. You can't clean after everyone. Everything for individual use was clean.

Verified reviewA week ago, I made an online booking and paid the full amount. However, when I arrived, I was asked to pay an additional €8 on top of what I had already paid online.
Dear Jaradat, We are truly saddened to receive your review. We would like to clarify that your initial reservation was made in a female-only dormitory. As you are male, it was not possible to allow entry into that room category. However, in order to assist you, we managed to find availability in our other unit so that you would not lose your reservation. As it was a different building with different accommodations, the price also varies. At the time, the difference was €8. Our receptionist explained the situation in detail, showed you the location of the other property on the map, and asked if you would like to be transferred. You agreed to proceed, and only the difference in price was charged. Please note that if there had been no availability in our other unit, the full amount of your booking would unfortunately have been lost. Instead, our team went out of their way to ensure you had a place to stay that night. We understand your frustration, but it is important to note that it is the guest’s responsibility to verify the room type and gender category before confirming the reservation. Kind regards, Leevin Hostel.

Please be assured that your feedback has also been forwarded to the relevant department, as we are constantly working to improve our facilities. Thank you for your contribution and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future for a better stay. Kind regards, Leevin Hostel

Verified reviewVery affordable place to be inside and get a sleep.
They wouldn't let me in as I'd used up my days in their sister hostel. Different hostel, same company. Noone told me this would be the case. They refused me a refund despite booking.com offering to waive the fee that they would usually have to pay to refund me. Stayed here once before at the beginning of the year, it's cheap but the dirt of the place reflects that. Would still be worth staying for the price if it wasn't run by robbing scum. Staff were horrible. Could maybe recommend to some but definitely not to a friend.
Dear Bello, We are truly saddened to receive your review, as according to our records you currently have only three reservations with us: The first reservation was canceled, and no charge was made, so you did not pay for it. The second reservation was the only reservation you used. Even though you did not have valid documentation for check-in, we made an exception and allowed you to stay, when in fact we could have denied your entry. You also have a future reservation at our Studios unit, which has not yet been used. Additionally, you mentioned staying with us at the beginning of this year, but your very first reservation with us was on august, which was canceled. For this reason, the scenario described in your review — that your entry was denied and you were still charged — does not match our records. On the contrary, the only time you stayed with us, we went beyond our policies to provide you with the best experience possible and not deny your entry. It is very disappointing for us to receive this review under these circumstances, but we still value your feedback. Kind regards, Leevin Hostel.

Verified reviewThe cleanliness in the bathrooms and security systems in the hostel premises were good. Staff behavior was very friendly. Also, availability of staff 24/7 was very good thing. The hostel is well maintained.
Due to the common area of eating, the eating comfort was absent. Because, if somebody is vegan or vegetarian they are forced to eat at the same highly smelly place where non-veg is being cooked/ grilled making eating discomfort.
