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.).

CanadaThe location was great! It was surprisingly quiet for a hostel, I would only ever hear people if they were standing right outside my room chatting.

United KingdomThe kitchen area is extremely small, if there’s more than 2 people trying to cook it’s a big squeeze. The area where you eat your food isn’t very nice as you’re just on a stool with a wooden ledge to lean on to and there’s an old stuffy smell there also. The tv room is quite dated with only a few seats and it isn’t very comfortable.
The location is great, just a couple of minutes to bondi beach. Shops are all on one main street with everything you need. There is a bus stop about 4 minutes walk away also which makes getting around easy. We were staying in a private bunk room on the top floor so didn’t get disturbed by any other guests much.

New ZealandNot the most up to date or cleanly place but hey it's a beach hostel! There's gonna be noise in any hostel, bring ear plugs and a good attitude
Super close to Bondi Beach. It's a basic hostel, don't come in expecting anything fancy, if you're here you should be out n about exploring, so it's a good place to lay your head for the night if you're on a budget

Short walk down to bondi beach, lots of food options nearby. Easy to check in and access the hostel with the app. Bus stop nearby so can reach the centre easily

ItalyCheating by promoting a 15 sqm sized room while giving a microscopic (about) 8,8 sqm room. TWICE (!), even for different type of rooms. Polluting single-use packaging used, promotion of plastic single-use items, little care for the environment. Too small luggage deposit.

AustraliaThe reception door at the front when closed was hard to tell if it was reception as the door next to it was the entrance door and it looked like a cleaners storage door. It made it hard to tell where to check in. I did not notice the little “reception back in a moment” sign that was displayed among lots of graffiti and notice papers of other events going on in the area
PowerPoint station near my bed. I was top bunk and glad to see one close to my station. Also the facilities available in the hostel were very helpful. This hostel also offered comfortable sheets and towels Thankyou so much!
