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.).

India1. No elevators and the room was on the 3rd floor the staircase was tiresome with luggage. 2. we were handed over the beddings and were supposed to carry them up until the 3rd floor and arrange them ourselves on the bed, pillow covers and the blanket covers - was tedious. 3. we were also supposed to remove the used linen and submit it at the reception. IMO, this should be the job of the housekeeping as for the guests it becomes time consuming. 4. the upper bunks did not have a charging slot and the reading light wasn't working. 5. On the third floor there was just one toilet, which was mosltly never free. 6. No hot water on the 3rd floor. 7. Too many mosquitoes at night.
The location was great, the staff was nice.

AustraliaThe common sitting area was dirtier than I would have liked e.g sand on the couches but this is more the guests than the hostel staff. Floor towels in the bathrooms need to be changed much more often as they were very wet from the previous person showering and the showers smelt of mould as there’s no windows or extraction fans.
This accomodation was nicer than I expected, the section I stayed in was very modern and had nice fixtures / furnishings. I was upgraded from a 10-person mixed dorm to a 4-person female only dorm which was really kind and appreciated - staff was great. Great location that’s easily accessible by foot and there’s buses close by too.

GermanyMusic in the living room. Playlist needs an update with better songs for sure. Found a beg bug in room 35, so maybe be a little more careful in cleaning.
I stayed at this hostel in 2016 and now in 2024. Have to say everything was pretty much the same (in a good way). The living room is such a vibe, although the choice of music can be improved ;) The room was clean although I did find a bed bug on the first night. But the beds are comfortable. Best part is the beer on tap which is great. Toilets were clean, although not super clean at the same time, but it works. Its not a luxury hostel, but a proper backpackers hostel and meets all your needs. Staff is super amazing.

United KingdomA little disappointed that none of the social fun n games, advertised online (pub quiz, karaoke, card games, etc.) didn't happen. This is not the fault of the management, but the other guests just weren't interested.
The location is perfect - within walking distance of all the sights. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was a bit small, but you could manage preparing food on the large tables in the spacious dining room. I even liked the music that was playing in the bar area. Romanian, Brazilian, etc., giving it a great international vibe.

France1- the window of the room i was in was directly on top of the bar next door, so you can hear some disrtubance during the night if you plan to sleep early. 2- it would be nice to have curtains in the box you sleep in for more privacy

United Arab EmiratesThe only downside was the presence of a lot of mosquitoes in one of the bunker spaces. Adding a mosquito curtain in the windows could help resolve this issue and make the space more comfortable for guests.
The hotel's location was ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions and dining options. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation. The bed was comfortable, with clean linens.

United StatesMeg tying your sheets and making your own bed could be easily done by staff and add to the positive experience! The main rec room needs an update as does the communal kitchen which I didn’t use.
I never stay in hostels but because a one night stay and high hotel rates o booked this hostel! The staff were incredibly nice especially the volunteer staff but also front desk! I booked in the new section with four bunks and it was great! Bathrooms are stone and all new! Highly recommend!

United KingdomMy only complaint/suggestion is that the communal fridge isn’t accessible while the kitchen/bar area is locked off. I had to check-out early in the morning at which time I wouldn’t have been able to collect my food so I had to remove it from the fridge before the kitchen closed which meant I had to worry about the food spoiling in the heat of the dorm over night. Perhaps the fridge could be located in one of the areas that is not locked over night?
The hostel was really well fitted out for such a traditional building with amazing traditional features in the communal areas and smart modern decor and finishes in the dorm. The hostel is also really well located for access to the train/bus station and the old town.
