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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaIt was all good!! I would only improve the indications as they know the location in google maps is not correct to the place. Maybe suggest them to add some sign with the name, so would be much easy. They send you a link which was not working at the time for me at least, to avoid moving forward and backwards.
It was one of the most cleanest hostel I have stayed. Super comfortable, you also have curtains on your bed which gives more privacy. Impeccable towels and sheets. It has a balcony to enjoy the sunset or your breakfast if you want with a fantastic view. They were very attentive all the time, very nice people! I would definitely come back and recommend it. Super close to the town and you have a supermarket/coffe bar, restaurant next door. If you walk at night alone could be a bit scary as it's at the top of the hill and there's not much lighting if you're walking through the shortcout, but it was safe.

New ZealandUnfortunately some of the other girls in my dorm room were very inconsiderate and would ignore the quiet hours rules and would turn the main lights on late at night when people were sleeping, and also stomp about, watch videos without earphones and talk on the phone late at night. There are signs around the hostel outlining the quiet hours and other rules so it is not the hostels fault that people don't follow them.
Incredibly lovely and kind owner (and kids). Very well managed, super clean, modern and comfortable. The view is also gorgeous. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at.

Staffs are chilled. The 4-bunkbed female dorm I stayed was very clean. The facilities are all quite new. The best is the sunset view I enjoyed right in front of the room! Also the price for one night was so so cheap! Worth the price!

ItalyThere's only so much management can do to enforce the rules they do have in place. Unfortunately, it's up to fellow guests to respect them and in my case they did not. I was unlucky that other travellers sleeping either in other dorms or in mine were anything but quiet until past 4 in the morning. It's advertised as not a party hostel but people don't care. I don't care for disrespect but hey, I guess next time I need to invest into an Airbnb or a hotel. The one thing I can suggest that you improve is to provide hooks or shelves or some way for patrons to hang/keep their belongings in the bathroom. Oh, and maybe worth mentioning you should check, I think it was, locker 13? The key was practically useless, as it did turn both ways but the door could not be closed.
The boy who did my check-in was friendly and available. The dorm was clean and the ensuite bathroom (also reasonably kept) was a huge plus. The bed was relatively comfortable, had an individual light and socket as well as a curtain for privacy, which I really appreciated. Apart from the noise issue (see below), this was a very nice hostel :)

SwedenThe location is up on a hill (approx 10 minute walk uphill from the beach if using the shortcut). don’t trust google maps too much because there are stairs not marked on the map. If u use the shortcut it makes the road shorter - but it’s still a bit of a hike. I don’t mind but might be good to be aware of it, especially since the shortcut would be through alleys ( i felt pretty safe but not everyone might be comfortable walking alone there at night).
Very clean and great facilities such as free use of the laundry and a nice kitchen. Rooms and common eras were kept tidy. Polite and helpful staff.
