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.).

United Kingdomcockroach in my bed 1st night, and the 4 bed room was supposed to be an upgrade, but didn't feel like it because they were so cramped. The size of the room, realistically shouldve been a private, not 4 person.
location is great, just back from the beach front so you don't get the noise, but close enough that it takes all of a minute to get there. staff were very friendly and always appeared to be cleaning up

United StatesI don’t blame the staff on this one because they all did the best they could, but it’s a big hostel so they need more housekeepers.
I loved how Tas, the property manager, really put a lot of effort into the group activities in the hostel. I met some amazing people at the hostel because they had several social events that made it easy to meet everyone. The rooms were really nice and so were the common areas. Would absolutely recommend, and would come back to this hostel.

United KingdomThe bunk bed is a very good idea, but I found I’m not as nimble as the younger me once was. So climbing up and down was a bit a pain, especially in the middle of the night. However it added to the experience.
Very close to Bondi beach and it was very clean and tidy. The overall appearance was very good and it’s a clearly looked after place and we would stop again.

United KingdomAlthough the room was charming, it was way too small for comfort for us. Not enough floor space to fully open up 1 suitcase, only space for 1 beanbag under the bed to face the TV, stairs down from bed really narrow. We had too much stuff for the space, would recommend for someone travelling really light or on their own.
Amazing location minutes away from Bondi beach, shared kitchen and common rooms really clean feels brand new. Lovely staff, had free BBQ and pancakes during my stay.

We travelled for a short weekend getaway to spend close to the beach and we were very happy with the accomodation. We had a private room with a loft bed and a private bathroom and the room was very well set up. It was clean, comfy and very clever use of space considering the size of the room. The loft bed required a bit of climbing, but it was very comfy. There was also a good amount of power plugs around the bed for charging various phones and tablets. The staff was also exceptionally friendly and helpful and supported us with all the questions and requests we had, including luggage storage. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back if and when we look at a beach holiday again.

AustraliaThe locker in the room was weirdly very narrow, so I had to keep my backpack and bag under the bed, but at least I had somewhere safe for my valuable stuff. Bathroom was very tiny too, but it's fine because it was an ensuite.
Booked The Village as a last minute resort after a terrible experience in a different hostel. It saved my whole trip! Easily the most beautiful hostel I've stayed in. Beautiful beachy vibe that matches the location perfectly, just down the road from Bondi Beach. The common areas were pretty and comfortable, with a big TV room and two other dining and lounging rooms. The kitchen was decently equipped as well, with a BIG storage room connected to it. The laundry room had multiple machines, essential when staying by the beach. The staff were so lovely and helpful. Louise (? from the Netherlands was delightful. They made check-in and check-out very easy, even though I arrived very late at night. The room was on the smaller side, but the bed was extremely comfortable and private. When I shut the curtain it blocked out the outside light completely, which allowed for a great night of sleep. Best blanket I've ever had in a hostel. Overall, I'd recommend this hostel for anyone who wants a peaceful, comfortable beachy vacation.
