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.).

SpainSpeaking of the beds, if you happen to be at the bottom, you will literally sleep on the floor with a mattress. I mean there is no any elevation, apart from the mattress'es height and as such you will hear and almost feel all the steps from other fellow travelers. Most probably, you will be inhaling all the dust pulverised in the air by the movements in the room, which is not really the healthiest thing to do. In addition, there was no Internet provided, which actually I badly needed, since I was in roaming with limited data usage - I was told that in near future they will have it. And lastly, I felt that the price was a bit higher compared to what I was getting, but at that time there was a big metal festival in the town, so I guess that could explain the price hike - normally, you can get a better place in Plovdiv for what I've paid.
The surroundings are really beautiful and unique as you will stay in the old part of Plovdiv, where the time really has stopped. I absolutely love to stay there. It is a unique place and will have the opportunity to experience it, if you stay at this hostel. The vibes are very informal here. You will see people lying at the benches in the garden and enjoying the sun. There is a fridge with drinks, where you can take something and pay later - this place seems to operate on mutual trust. The check-in process is very easy one - you will be greeted by the staff and they will show you the facilities and give you the bed linen, so you will have to make your own bed. You can request a locker as well to put your valuables. Don't expect anything fancy here - it is a hostel where the beds look almost DIY.

AustraliaThe hostel staff were barely present. They checked us in over the phone and didn't have information about hiking. No one else had been hiking when I arrived so I found it hard to get advice on hiking in the arrive. I wouldn't call this a hiking hostel. The bathroom was dirty and looked like the toilet hadn't been cleaned for ages.
The location was great being just a short walk from the center. The hostel was set up well with nice common areas. The size of the room was good meaning you weren't squashed in with others.

An affordable old style hostel which will take you back to hippie times and make you feel like traveling in the 60s-70s.
