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.).

AustraliaThe room was a little run down but easily to overlook when in such a charming neighborhood
In a great location, situated near Florida Street and conveniently close to money changers, and the subway is just a short walk away, allowing for easy exploration of the city. There are friendly and helpful staff. I stayed in a private room, and I was pleasantly surprised by its size. The breakfast provided at the Colonial Hostel was simple but a nice way to start the day and there is a pleasant common area for dining and relaxing in the evening. Another aspect that impressed me was the hostel's flexibility and understanding when it came to late check-in and luggage storage. I arrived later than expected, but the staff was accommodating and ensured a smooth and hassle-free check-in process. They also provided secure luggage storage, which was greatly appreciated as it allowed me to explore the city without the burden of my bags. Overall, my experience at the Colonial Hostel was exceptional. The combination of its prime location, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms, and satisfying breakfast made for a memorable stay. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Buenos Aires and seeking a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

United KingdomPillow was rather flat. I left my bed unattended on 2 brief occasions since arriving at the Hostel - on both occasions I returned to find other women had been checked into my bed. For most men repeatedly finding random women in their bed would be a perfect dream, but I’m not like most men🤣
All the staff were absolutely brilliant, friendly & knowledgeable - the best thing about the hostel. They also speak English which is great. Free breakfast was a treat considering the price. Brilliant central location for the city centre. bus station nice and close. Very clean. Very good place.

AustriaBreakfast was included, but was just a pile of somewhat smashed, prepackaged pastries or croissants. We ended up going out instead. Wifi did not really reach our room when we arrived (hard to judge it completely, as we weren't there too long).
Extremely helpful and friendly staff, especially during checkin. Helped us out quite a bit in finding some things in the area, understanding currency, and more. We were also able to leave our bags all day after checkout. Good security. Good location, just around the corner from pedestrian street with plenty of things, also not too far from the Retiro bus station as well as the Tienda León station for getting to & from the airports, and the port area & the Reserva along the water. We didn't spend too much time there, but common areas and kitchen seemed alright.

ItalyFacilities are old and not renovated. There is no elevator, if you have heavy luggage going up through the stairs gets risky.
Location was good, right in the heart of the city centre, but in the evenings with no business opened it get quite desolated, its better to move with caution. Staff was nice. Breakfast was included.

GreeceThe breakfast is pretty basic but this is understandable considering that it is a budget option.
The staff is super attentive and friendly, there is a cosy atmosphere that makes this place suitable for different types of people (e.g. age wise). The rooms are very good considering the price, with hot water and the communal kitchen clean and well-equipped for cooking.The location is very good too and everything you might need is near by.
