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.).

PakistanThere was some noise of people coming from outside on the ground floor. First night I stay on third floor and it was fine.
Staff was so friendly and always compliance of any need whenever needed. Breakfast was good and you can also cook for yourself. Property is around 5 minute walk from Istiklal street and lot restaurants and stores around the hostel. Note: photo attached is taken from the hostel’s open air space where guests sit, eat and chill.

United KingdomThe place could do with a proper spring clean and there has to be regular reminders to clean up in the kitchen. On one occasion, the water stopped working for the whole day and they were still taking bookings which didn't make and no refund given to customers who stayed that night which shows lack of customer service. The toilets could do with ventilation.
The location is in a good place, access to a lot of transport links, plenty of stores and supermarkets around. The wifi works well and it has good kitchen facilities for cooking. Has a good number of toilets and showers, didn't have to wait long to use them and common room/lounge was a great vibe. The staff are very friendly and easy to talk to and the place itself has a cool feeling about it. The place also felt safe.

RussiaMy bed didn't have a source of light. The terrace is ok, although I wouldn't say it qualifies as a working space, I mean, a decent working space is required in modern times and way of life.
The staff👍 Location🥇 A good breakfast was included in my stay via Booking🙏 Comfy bed, shower is good and clean and there's two of them, clean toilets. For me what's important is a spacious locker 🛅 Nice!

ChinaI would say the working place (on the balcony only) is a bit limited. The mattress for my bed (female dorm) is collapsing in the middle.
You can tell that the facilities r not perfectly new but the hosts r doing a great job in maintaining them clean. I really like my bed since it offers great privacy and storage space. The breakfast on the balcony among the cats is great!

United Arab EmiratesThere was some construction within the hostel, which made the space feel a little congested at times.
This hostel has nice staff who are friendly and always willing to help. The breakfast is good, offering a variety of options to start your day. It's especially great for solo travelers, with a welcoming atmosphere and easy opportunities to meet people. The location is also excellent, making it convenient for exploring the local area and accessing nearby attractions. Overall, it provides a comfortable and friendly environment for anyone traveling alone
