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.).

United KingdomImmaculately clean hostel ran by the friendly owner & his super team. Location could not be better as it's in the heart of the city just a few steps from the old Market Square . Special thanks to the young Irish lady on reception for her help checking in & for listening to my stories. Little things can make a big difference & the owner has done everything perfectly here, very comfy beds, nicely designed rooms with black out curtains , super showers & perfect staff. If you want evening entertainment you're spoiled for choice as there's plenty restaurants , bars & cafes in the area. I highly recommend staying here to anyone that has the chance.

NetherlandsUnfortunately not a 10, but minus 2 points. The hostel is next to a club. Allthough the hostel provides free earplugs, the low bass sounds is something you will feel lying in your bed. Best thing you can do is turn on the airconditioning and create white noise to distract you from this.
The staff is so nice and very helpful! The hostel is very clean. There is a kitchen you can use. You can eat your food in their bar. Two supermarkets in walking range. Towels can be rented if you forgot to bring your own. I loved the curtain you can close, so you can create privacy sleeping in your bed. Located in the middle of the city centre, so everything was less than a 5 minute walk: trainstation, bars, clubs, tourist centre, market, shops, theater, concert hall, a casino. I was there during the summer. The city sometimes organizes events. I enjoyed a free classical concert on friday and a free sing-a-long concert on saturday in the city square. Beautiful parks nearby. There was a festival at Volkspark and every saturdaymorning at 9:00 am, there is a free Parkrun at Van Heekpark, so you can run/walk a 5K parcours or be a volunteer. The tourist office offers a guided citywalk on saturday. You can climb the church tower on sunday. Around the corner I found a micro brewery Stanislaus Brewskovitch located in a church. Enjoyed dinner and their draught beer in the secret garden. The hostel itself is next to the oldest café of Enschede. I you want to have a drink and step back into time go to ‘t Bolwerk. If you want to combine your stay with a run plan your stay during Enschede Marathon or one of the other races during the year.

Norwayunnecessarily complicated check-in, i'm not crazy about places spamming you with semi-important information about your stay. and you get charged extra for a towel - add three euros to the regular price and you have clean guests!
spotless clean, cool/cute design. locker under your bed (with padlock), light, socket, shelf, courtain for privacy - well thought through! walking distance to the train station. i ended up having the dorm to myself and it was a weekday - i can't relate to the noise complaints of other reviews

NetherlandsThere was nothing that I did not like during the trip.
I like the beds and the pod that the guests received. The blinds blocked out all light, my bed was made for me, and the little stars atop your bed were really cute. All of the facilities were incredibly clean. I did not spend much time downstairs, but the common area and kitchen looked great. Password locks on every door made me feel safe, and the monkey motif throughout the hostel was cute. The staff were nice, helpful and pleasant through out my stay.

NetherlandsCheck out time is a bit early. Also, the room could use a bit more hangers for clothing, now each bed only has one and that's used for you jacket. Both are minor details, the hostel itself is perfect!
Excellent location right in the centre of Enschede. Beds sleep perfect and include a curtain for privacy. Showers are great! Place is clean and well maintained. Doors are locked with a passcode so very convenient not having to carry a key. There's a bar attached to the hostel as well for some snacks and drinks. All in all a perfect hostel!

GreeceThe prices are kinda high for a hostel
Tge property is right in the heart of Enschede, close to the train station, the bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The place was very clean and everything was brand new. The beds are comfortable, and the curtains gave me a feeling of privacy. Regarding the staff, everyone was very helpful and willing to help if you needed something. Additionally, I loved the lounge place. It was quite and ideal for studying.
