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.).

IndiaStaying at this hostel was such a treat! The view from my room was incredible—I could see the Harbour Bridge right from my window. And with Bondi Beach so close by, I felt like I had the best of Sydney at my fingertips.

AustraliaThere was no staff around except for the cleaner, so everything was managed through the 'Goki' app, from opening the front door to requesting towels. I liked the system, but I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's for you. The building I stayed in (141) had only one working shower for three floors and several rooms, including mine with four people, so I often had to go to the neighboring building (143) where there were plenty of showers. Thankfully, it was right next door and you can enter it via the back garden
One of the best things about this place is that they provide both breakfast and dinner. Secondly, its location is great—it's close to Kings Cross train station, which quickly takes you into the city center. I had a quiet and restful sleep on a very comfy bed, with plenty of space to store my luggage and food. I stayed in Room 9, which even had its own fridge and sink, as well as some comfy seats by the window overlooking the street.

ChinaThe staff are kind, but they are not at the front desk most of the time. Contacting in WhatsApp is not enough to solve issues. The bathroom may need some repairs and maintenance. And I couldn't find where the laundry room is.
The location is convenient. The bathroom is a little crowded but enough to use. The kitchen is well equipped, although sometimes not so tidy. Also I love the mattress.

AustraliaI’ve stayed in many hostels, but Potts Point stands out for its hospitality. The management was always around for a chat, and the remote receptionist was super responsive when I needed help booking a tour. It was so reassuring to have such a supportive team. Plus, the proximity to both Town Hall and Bondi Beach was a huge bonus!

TaiwanThe photos on booking.com is not so true to the reality. The lack of bathrooms is also a problem. There could have been some chair and table in the double room.

ArgentinaI had a problem the first night with a girl who lives in the hostel and maybe has some psychological issues, and I asked to change the bed or the room since I didn't feel safe or comfortable. At first, the hostel didn't believe me and didn't give a real solution. But then I wrote to whatsapp number, and they helped me and understood my problem. So I just recommended asking a solution if you don't feel comfy with something about hostels.
I like that it was always clean and tidy, at least my room. The meals are pretty good, and the location is perfect for backpackers arriving in Sydney.I like that it was always clean and tidy, at least my room.
