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.).

IndiaThe facilities were underwhelming. The electric socket was hanging over the bed and sparked when I connected my charger. No towels were provided. The toilet did not have stands for toiletries. Not well ventilated or lit. No doormats outside the toilet. Most importantly, no lockers for valuables. I had to carry everything when I went outside. Maybe some of these are mentioned on the website, and I did not pay attention. But most of these things are usually expected in a dormitory.
The host, John, was very nice. The location was great. The room and bed were fine.

AfghanistanAfter midnight, it’s not possible to leave the hostel and obviously, you can’t enter either. Overall, the hostel isn’t bad. The owner is friendly, but he should take better care of the place. This hostel has the potential to be better, but currently, it feels like it’s just used for a quick overnight stay.”
The location is awesome,

United KingdomNo locker, a dormitory without a locker is very bad, it is very inconvenient to have to carry your stuff around. Upper bathroom was not great, also I don't understand why you have a clean sheet and pillowcase but no cover on the duvet, which obviously isn't cleaned after each individual, no logic to that.
Owner was very helpful, gave lots of info. Towel supplied, kitchen was kept clean. Downstairs bathroom was good. WiFi was decent. Location was excellent. Each bed had power sockets. Tea and coffee being supplied was a nice touch. Dormitory was quite spacious.

BrazilThe rest of the building was ok, but the room was very dirty. It's okay for a big room to be messy, but not dirty. I don't know if I got the room on a bad day but I was very uncomfortable. The bed is clean and the sheets are comfortable, but there is no curtain, so zero privacy.
The location is very good, 15 minutes walking from the bus terminal and 20/30 minutes walking from several tourist attractions. There are also several snack bars nearby (I recommend the one who sells ćevapi). The staff is very friendly. The host, John, is very welcoming and makes a point of giving you tips on tours and places to visit in the city as soon as you arrive.

GreeceThe location is central, 3 minutes walk from the main square, and inside the old Podgorica, convenient place for walking exploration of the city. It is a simple hostel in the centre. Perhaps a slight difficulty is that there is only one bathroom on the floor and one has to wait when it is occupied.

PolandPlace has huge potential but it's really dirty. The bedding smelled musty. It's allowed to smoke on the balcony in the room, so it also smelled of cigarette smoke.
Well, the only advantage of this place was manager who really helped me to get to the airport.
