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.).

Spacious, comfortable bed with curtains! There is a large locker in the bedroom. The staff is very responsive when we have questions.

ArgentinaIn venus surry hills the room was full of things around like dirty clothes and food. Not all in the room care about the tidyness and the toilet was always with floor wet.
The regular clean of common areas and in surry hills all the spaces you have to be chill and relax. Beds super comfy and windows to keep the room ventilated is a plus. It is a perfect place to rest since it is not a party hostel.

AustraliaOnly two bathrooms, they were sufficient, but it could be a bit more for convenience.
Nice that there's a requirement for silence in the night - this hostel is visibly also for people who stay longer, no party hostel. I appreciated that the bed has curtains which adds to privacy. It's been spacious enough as well, so no cramped rooms. Pretty convenient location.

AustraliaNo storing space for food as it was all full so I ended up eating outside everyday. There was a fridge in the room but it was also pretty packed. Maybe spaces could be assigned according to bed numbers. The fire alarm woke us up at 4:40 am (it was a false alarm and girls there said it happened often)
Great value. It was always clean. There were rules that kept rooms quite and each bed had a black curtain to give you privacy and darkness.

AustraliaThe common areas are so small, we dont have enough space to sit down and eat because you will be sharing with people who using laptop. (which I did both). The toilet and shower room is very small too, and a little bit old, but cleaniness is okay as they clean it often. My room is under ground, it's a lil bit humid. There's no lift in this building and the stairs is small, so it's a lil bit for the one with big & heavy luggage.
The dryer is working very well as all my clothes even the thick one got dried. Is a good place to meet people around the world. The bed is comfortable and the room is actually have plenty of space.

PolandThe common space is a bit too small for so many people. You’re rather unable to find a place to work or study for a while. And the upper beds are moving when you’re climbing up so I guess it’s really annoying for the person down there
