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.).

South KoreaI'm satisfied with almost everything, but Idk, it was super cold at night because it's winter. If someone open the window, I just felt like sleeping outside. I should take a lot of blankets from counter desk, but it provided just after laundry so I should wait for it. For someone who visit this hostel in winter, I recommend take some extra blankets at first.
Definetely a CURTAIN! Every bed had each, and I think it's super important thing for hostels. Location was reaallly nice, cuz I could walk everywhere in the city that I planned. But it's in the middle of city, so it can be noisy place for someone who has sensitive ear. Honestly, I didn't expected foods here, but it was way more NICE than my expectation. Even some amenity they provided like bodywash, shampoo and conditioner was decent. I just chose this place because of location and some recommendations of reviews, those was really helpful for newbie came to Sydney as very first place. I could save a lot of money. Thank you

United KingdomNot many toilets and showers so you have to queue at peak time, better to shower in the evening to avoid the queues!
The pods were really comfortable for two people and felt private. The dinners and breakfasts were delicious and great vegetarian options with big portions. Great that they have free ice cream! We could walk everywhere from the hostel and it’s not far from the greyhound bus stop. Would highly recommend to stay here while in Sydney.

NetherlandsReception was rarely actually at the desk which was annoying because I needed a towel and blanket and had trouble getting it. My dorm smelled SO bad from one of the quests stuff and staff came in every day but didn't address the problem. The common area is claustrophobically small, breakfast included very cheap items and no nutrition so I ended up skipping it.
Dorm bed had all the necessities like curtain, power outlet, storage, and bed light. Evening meal included vegetables and was better quality than expected, bathrooms were cleaned regularly and there were plenty available. Wifi was good. Staff goes into the rooms and vacuums every day as well. Location is great with regards to public transport access and walking distance from center sights.

CanadaCleanliness in the dorms was bare minimum, bathrooms cleaned frequently but too many guests and too few bathrooms meant waiting a long time.
Good family-style dinners, spacious lockers, friendly staff, roomy bathrooms, free luggage storage. Shelves, hangers and hanging room in the bunks was also very nice!

Czech RepublicBathrooms - as many people write, toilets and showers are really few for the number of people. It would help if at least the toilets were not connected to the shower. The wait just for the toilet was sometimes very long - something that probably can't be changed now, but what can be changed and for free is the attitude of the staff - say hello when you say hello, smile...don't be obnoxious. You work in a hostel, if you don't enjoy working with people, find something else. Most of the people who work here, we felt like we were bothering them. One last thing, which is not about the hostel, but the people in it - when you sleep in a room with x people, don't be selfish!!! The guy who was sleeping above us regularly started eating around midnight, everyday. Do what you want, but unwrap a bag of chips that rustles above your head, keep banging something on the shelf, jump off the bed instead of getting off normally so you don't wake up the others...in short, don't be film selfish
Great price, comfortable bed, privacy even in a room for 12 people. Plenty of space for things. Super breakfast and dinner included. Really close to everything. Price vs. what it offers is perfect!

GermanyIt would be nice if there were standalone toilets instead of only toilets+showers.
The location is in the heart of Chinatown and very close to a tram line and tons of good eateries. Not only do the beds each have a curtain for privacy, they also have their own set of shelves, which makes a big difference in terms of convenience and comfort. It was also my first time at a hostel where they provide daily cooked breakfast and dinner.

United StatesCouples sharing beds and lots of long term stays (>1 month). Made it hard to sleep with people waking up as early as 5am to go to work. Couples and people working should have separate accommodations as it can get quite noisy in the room.
Private beds with storage were nice. Central to a lot of attractions.
