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.).

United KingdomThe door to our room was really difficult to open and close. It needs a little work since you can't leave the room or come in late without waking everyone up with a loud door scratching the floor.
This was a hostel in a great location. The bathrooms were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the views of the lake and the food in the adjacent restaurant.

United KingdomIt felt strange not to be en-suite, and the shared toilets were not as clean in some Youth Hostels. Not to have kitchen facilities, was strange, as they are normally present at youth hostels.
Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. The attached water complex with 6 saunas was an unexpected bonus.

BelgiumOf course, the fact that you need to take showers that are shared is quite annoying but it is normal because its a youth hostel and not a luxe hotel.
I quite liked the stay well. Of course, you should not expect everything in a hotel because it is a hostel. The beds were great and there was enough room for the number of people present. And the location is very good.

United KingdomRoom had limited ventilation so became excessively hot. Beds very hard. Showers warm enough but only mediocre. No fridge facilities.
Right by the lake with activities. But, you may not swim in the lake. Quite close to supermarket.

United KingdomThe car park was difficult to find a space on and was very expensive. The room was very hot and very basic. Planned fireworks at night might have been best to warn people about. There was no space in the restaurant, but no option offered beforehand to book, so book separately if you want to reserve a space!
The location was great for what we needed, but it was very busy in the local area. If you need a base for the night it is alright, you get what you pay for really.

United KingdomThe price. This is a BARE MINIMUM hostel, yet it costs the same as a hotel. You really should provide a fridge to each room. You also need to put in some hooks to hang things. And for goodness sake buy some fitted sheets. There is no place to sit since the beds are packed in like sardines in a can. Good thing I brought some chairs with me. The shower room has hooks, but the floor has no drain and so the dripping things got the floor wet and there was no where for the water to go. Why do guest still have to pay for parking? Not cool. The restaurant is overpriced, didn't have available tables, and the food was subpar, especially considering the price. The vibe was pretentious pretending to be California chill. You can't have it both ways. Drunks kept us up all night. Those drunks left their not so empty bottles/cups in the shower room. The staff smoked in the doorway and stank up the whole place.
A place to sleep. The mattress was decent.

Belgiumthe fact that windows could not be opened in the rooms and there was bad air. also: the reception takes photos of your credit card, recto verso, if you don’t have 100 eur cash for room deposit. there are other techniques (block money on card, then liberate it) than to take pictures of confidential data.
great location around the lake. ideal for people who do watersports.
