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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesAbsolutely nothing…
Undoubtedly the most satisfying place have stayed in. This assessment considers the cost, facility, sanitation, location plus they even offer breakfast. I was wholeheartedly convinced that breakfast would be trash based on the cost per night but I was blown away!!! I have lived in many hostels in the US and New Orleans. I don’t know if there are other places like this in New Orleans. It’s too late, I don’t think I like to know, in love with this place.

CanadaThe front door is always locked so you either use your keycard or need to ring the doorbell. The doorbell is not very obvious to see as it was painted black so a lot of people miss it.
The beds were very comfortable and it had a privacy curtain. Each person in the dorm had 2 hooks to use. All of the shared bathrooms are separate and self contained with a shower, toilet and sink so its very private. The breakfast was nice with bread, bagels, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and juice/coffee/tea. The location is right on Canal St and it's easy to walk into the French Quarter or hop on a streetcar/bus.

United States1) I wish the top bunk had a “roof” or something so the light in the general room didn’t wake me up. 2) I wish the bunk curtains were a little taller for the same reason 3) if the key could be any other color to make it easier to see among the sheets/towels etc. would make life much easier in the dark.
Spotless with lots of local information going beyond the “tourist spots” available.

United StatesUnfortunately the ice machine was broken. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner and stocked (soap dispensers were constantly out) but it was fine otherwise!
LOVED the location, super close to the theater I was visiting for a concert. just a short walk to the heart of the city and all the sights. Breakfast was excellent as well and I loved the amount of open seating and lounging spaces it had! Front desk staff was excellent and super helpful and I loved that I could hold my luggage there after I checked out. My bed was SUPER COMFORTABLE and the key operated locker in the room was beyond convenient. I only wish I knew it was key operated before I lugged my padlock with me :p

SpainWith un upper bed I was right underneath the A/C which is both loud and also got a little chilly. Also the room was in front of the elevators so you’d hear everyone coming in and out.
Beds are very comfy and the curtain provides some privacy. Breakfast is included however quite basic. Location is great as you are quite close to the action but far enough to get some sleep!

United Statesthere was a large group of Tweens with chaperones when I was there, but .. that's just me. not crazy about that.
free breakfast, includes fresh fruit, yoghurt, granola, different kinds of bagels, toasted, butter, cream cheese, jelly for toast, coffee, fancy teas.. full kitchen facility if you wish to cook use of fridge and freezer. This is probably the best hostel I have EVER stayed in. also a tv room so you can watch tv if you want. no smoke no drugs is A-Ok. Very Very safe.

the dorm was the best dorm I've stayed in for privacy and comfort, and the shared spaces were the same. Luxurious for sure, better than a hotel in many ways.

United StatesI have stayed in various HI Hostels in the US and this is my absolute favorite by far! The property is very modern and resembles a hotel. The staff was super friendly and they have many recommendations for solo travelers! It was also within a walking distance from Burbon St (5min). I stayed in one of the dorm rooms and I really liked the fact that there were curtains in the beds for additional privacy! I would 100% recommend you to stay there instead of an hotel because you get to connect with others. Also if you have an early flight and couldn’t take the shuffle bus (like me), they order you an airport taxi for a flatrate of 36$ (+tax), which is fairly cheap compared to uber/lyft.
