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.).

Germany-tiny kitchen, it is not possible to prepare food properly ! -no indoor community rooms, leads to be very uncomfortable during nighttime! -no proper co-working space, leads to be impossible to do paperwork or similar things!
-Staff are kind and professional! -top location, near to everything!

FranceSince the common areas are located outside, it can get a bit cold in winter 😂. Having indoor common areas would make it cozier 🤗.
Good vibes for spending holidays and partying. Thank you, Danny and Tia (the receptionists), for your warm welcome 🫶🏼. You are the best 🩷.

Australiaall the best and there is only a small thing that it seems that they don't have enough blanket so it can be a little little cold. Only only a little.
Best hostel ever, reception and people here are friendly and helpful, activities can be really interesting, much better than Brisbane, gold coast is the best. I came here before my check in day and the reception guys help me to find empty room and they finally find me a shelter, i do really appreciate these guys. I have brought a bottle of Chinese alcohol as a gift for them and I forgot to give them because i was down at that time because my book of skydiving was canceled for two times. Hope I can see you guys again and I won't forget to give you guys my gift.

AustriaMattress didn't really work for me, it sagged a lot during the night.
The hostel has a great atmosphere, with parties and lots of entertainment. The building has nice common areas, with swimming pool, foosball, snooker and many outside tables. Staff is super helpful. Location is a bit far away if one wants to be often in Gold Coast, but is good for Surfers Paradise. They offer free bikes. Most of them already need a replacement, but it was still good to have them.

GermanyKitchen is a bit small for all the guest. It gets a bit cold in the rooms in winter and the hostel doesn't have duvets.
Really nice and familiar hostel with a nice social vibe. Everyone is very welcoming and it's easy to make connections due to the events that are always happening at night. Good and clean facilities and free breakfast which makes the start into the day way nicer. Staff is always very helpful and tries their best to keep everything clean.

AustraliaThe beds could be comfier and there are no curtains. The lockers are small so can’t fit your entire bag inside.
FANTASTIC hostel! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, it’s a great place for solo travellers. I was expecting a social hostel but it was much more than i expected, with free dinners on offer, free activities like surfing lessons and yoga, free bikes and surf boards to borrow, the hostel had everything. It was super easy to make friends by the pool. It far exceeded my expectations, great location too.

PhilippinesOne nitpick that I have is on the rooms. While the accommodation is good, the beds are a bit wobbly. Though it’s something to be ignored.
I like how the location is near to where I plan to go to. I also like the facilities, and their activities they provided. The ambience is lively, which means this is a good place for people to hang out. Staffs are be try friendly.
