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 KingdomThey put the smoking area directly next to the entrance. If you booked private rooms and the rooms in vicinity of the entrance you will have to have your windows shut. The smokers sit there chatting on and off through the night and our room stank if smoke. It would be better if they were relocated towards the street entrance. Reading the reviews we are not the only ones bothered by this. I would choose a different room, especially in the summer. It's a shame because we liked the place very much.
Location is good, beds are comfortable and the staff are fantastic. It is fun and engaging with Quiz Night and the Sound of Music playing every night. We would have given 10 out of 10 had we not suffered the cigarette smoke.

AustraliaThe kitchen is pretty basic, just microwave, kettle, and utensils. The male or female showers were on separate floors, so only a bit of an inconvenience if you were sleeping on the other floor.
Good location, not too far from supermarket and train station. Clean bathrooms as well.

HungaryEvery night for 4 nights in a row when I returned to the hostel after exploring Province of Salzburg, I found my wardrobe door always open, even though I always locked it, because nothing was missing, I ignored it. I was really uncomfortable with this case.
Great location, near train station and city center, clean, the free coffee is very delicious.

Hong KongThe days I was staying in the hostel were rainy days. One day, I put my umbrella at the front door to dry my umbrella as the other people did when I came back after a city walk. But an hour later, I found my umbrella missing. When I asked the help from the staff at the counter who said that she allowed one guy to pick any one umbrella at the front door for use by keeping a five Euro as a deposit at the counter. She believed that the guy would return my umbrella after use. Unfortunately, my umbrella had never been returned to the counter until the next morning when I needed to check out. I was forced to pick out another umbrella as a replacment. I was so disappointed that the hostel staff allowed the guest to take away the property of the other guest.
The location was good because you walked to the Central Railway station within 10 minutes and could walk to the city center within short period of time.

SpainIt was peak summer, and my room was facing outside with a very small window and just one table fan. It was super hot and no much air with the whole dorm occupied.
Location was really good, near to Mirabellplatz. For the hop on hop off, it was very useful as that's the starting point. Spar and an Asian market nearby. Pretty good bistros/cafes as well. Friendly staff. I had taken a 6 bed female dorm, beds comfortable, good lockers (no additional lock/key required). The washroom was pretty big, clean with a nice shower room. Lounge area is pretty cool with daily movie screening of Sound of Music, which is charming. Guest kitchen has an oven, refrigerator, kettle, utensils, overall good. Plus the locker room is free :)

IrelandThe hostel doesn't have cooking stove/ facility except two microwave. Kitchen space is not able to accommodate more than 5 people at a time. Dinning area is small too. However, they allow guests to sit and enjoy the meal in bar as well which is spacious. I recommend, they should install cooking stove/ oven. To cope with the business operations cost like utilities bills, If necessary the hostel management can charge guest €2~4 euro for each day for using cooking equipment or adjust the total accomodation pricing strategy accordingly.
Most of the tourist attractions are nearby the location. Easy access to public transportation i.e bus, tram. Staff are very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I met two of them name Zoey and Sayed ; lovely people. I stayed in 6 bed mix dormitory. Room was spacious with big windows. Liked the mountains breeze in the nights.

When I asked the bartender what is in the welcome drink he stated something like “well, can’t you read on it?”. Check out receptionist also seemed bored and hating her life and job. Also for some reason I paid double of what a room normaly costs( probably because it was the weekend and they were full so they decided to rip people in need off.)

I went downstairs to ask and the 2 ladies at the reception laughed at me and spoke in their native tongue. I asked what’s the issue and the other girl said, it would be colder in the evening. I get it but that doesn’t mean you won’t attend to my request and just shrug-laugh it off.
