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 reviewLocation is great, you just have to follow the river to the main area. The street where the hostel is has a very nice restaurant/drinking bars.
Air conditioning was noisy and didn't cool enough, I booked a double room at a hostel because I expected more tourists, people at the common area... There was none. It felt as if we were "alone" at the hostel.

Verified reviewThere was a lack of explanation of the facilities when I checked in, so I didn't know what I could do at this hostel. For example, even if I wanted to turn on the air conditioner in the free space, it wouldn't turn on unless the main power was on, and there was no explanation of how to use it, so I ended up staying in a hot room. Also, there was no explanation about entering and leaving the hostel at night, so when I returned home that night, I was unable to enter the hostel and had to stay at another accommodation, which was very unpleasant. However, the hostel staff were flexible and accommodated my request the next day.

Verified reviewFriendly, helpful staff. The location right beside the river was great and close to Jonker area. Many things to do and see within walking distance. Lots of great food options nearby. Great value for money.
Not much to not like about this place. If anything, it can be a little noisy at night due to the bars nearby. So if you're wanting a quiet, early sleep take this into account.

Verified reviewGreat location, very easy and approachable hosts. The place is listed as hostel, although they do have separate rooms which are very decent. Additionally the shared areas are big and well equipped. Very nice design of the place and very friendly vibe. Generally great value for money.
The room is rather small, although that was expected.

Verified reviewClose location to the riverfront and nice common area
Quite noisy at night, no staff there most of the time - we waited half an hour for someone to check us in. The WiFi only works in the communal area and reception.
