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.).

GermanyComing back 14 hours later, now the person at the reception didn't even know about us. He couldn't find our reservation, he wanted us to pay again, and the room was not ready (That's maybe not his fault, but a bad management - but it's definitely not our fault either). We expected to pick up the key and have a sleep at shortly before midnight after spending the whole day sightseeing. Instead he made us wait for another 30 min, as he appeared to be unorganized. In between I had doubts, that there was a free room at all for us, despite the fact that we already paid in the morning. The next day I asked about this issue at the reception, but she didn't had a clue either. The hostel is super noisy, as the internal staircases are all open, and with the roof on top (which wasn't installed in the original design 100 years ago), this gives the perfect resonance chamber. Even if people are just talking "normally", the noise can be heard in all floors. It has really bad acoustics.
The staff in the morning was very friendly and let us deposit our backpacks, as we couldn't check in yet. The glass window in our door was covered with dark curtains, so we didn't had an issue with the lights in the hallway.

Brazilyou can’t find a lighter or matches to turn the stove on. had to buy my own.
the beds are very nice and the cortines in the room really help. the location is great! walk distance from puerto madero, right by the san telmo fair. if you take the bus from the airport and stop at the puerto madero station, you can walk like 1,5km and get to the hostel, 20 minutes. it’s pretty easy! and safe

NetherlandsIn general the building is old and beautiful, very impressive but it needs a lot of maintenance. Bathrooms are run down, AC in my room was leaking, doors are difficult to open. The place has lots of potential!
I stayed in the private room which is super big and has an amazing view over the city. There were lots of different areas to work from and wifi was good. Location is great too and staff was friendly, letting me check in early.

FranceThe kitchen has a grand total of 3 plates. The rest of the utensils are in similar numbers. The mixed showers lack privacy.
It's a rather large hostel with plenty of common areas. The terrasse is great. It is pretty well setup for digital nomads despite most of the clients being regular backpackers. Good breakfast for an extra 500$

Austria-the room itself was not too clean, you put your bag under the bed in a “locker” but it was very dirty -no soap in the bathroom to wash your hands -on one day there was no warm water in the shower
-good location -sockets & a small safe next to the pillow (but bring two padlocks to lock that and the under bed compartment as well) -surprisingly clean kitchen -there were only 2 toilets & showers per floor but surprisingly we never needed to stand in line

Czech RepublicThe showers didn't have doors, only curtains which didn't stick to walls, therefore it felt a bit uncomfortable if someone else was using the bathroom. Also they were not the cleanest with so many people using it. I think two toilets per floor isn't enough. Kitchen was quite dirty, especially fridge which was full of stains and definitely not enough for so many people. Also in the room (for 6 people in total) there was only 1 small table and 1 chair.
The hostel is located near Plaza de Mayo and metro station. It has a very nice terrace and a retro elevator. The reception was always helpful and nice. Place for eating big enough, lockers under the bed, I'd say all what's needed for visit in the city. Internet signal was pretty good without interruptions and separate rooms for those who wanted to work.

France1. the cleaning service was horrible, we found a nail in our room and the sheets were with some brown traces… Concerning the bathrooms, it was mushrooms all over the wall. 2. Concerning the service, one persone from the staff was really nice but they scams us 7000pesos for our room. When we ask for the owner (who live at the 5th floor) the staff tells us to see with him the next day. We waited for him 30min for nothing. I went 4 times after this to have my money back and after the 4h time, it was only 6000pesos. What a shame ! 3. The place was really noisy, some people were in the kitchen and make a lot noise up to 2:30AM. It was a disaster and of course I will tell you to put some money on an other hostel.
It was on San Telmo which means that it was a good emplacement
