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 StatesThe alley behind the hostel is a local hangout at night for the homeless. They urinate in between the dumpsters (or worse). There isn't much the hostel can do about this, I understand. Just know that this part of town gets a bit hairy at night.
This was a surprisingly clean and safe hostel. We were looking for an alternative for 2 nights before our cruise. All of the other hotels are so expensive! We decided to give our first go at a hostel and we were not disappointed. Keep in mind, this is a place to sleep and shower. You will have a bed and small table in your room. The bathrooms are cleaned every day. You are supplied with one towel. We did not need anything else. The cooking area is a common, shared space with other tenants who showed respect and courtesy. I would stay here again.

NetherlandsThe ventilation of the room is very poor. The upper bed of the bunk bed doesn't have fence so I felt unsafe when sleeping on it. The locker beneath the bed doesn't have a lock so we need to bring our own lock or buy one for 10 CAD from the helpdesk. There is no hairdryer in the men's bathroom.
The location is super convenient and accessible by public transport.

AustraliaThe cost of accommodation in Vancouver is just ridiculous. This hostel included. It's a real deterrent to tourism.
I've stayed at a variety of hostels over the years so didn't expect any frills. This hostel is brilliantly located, staff friendly, secure, public areas cleaned regularly, bathrooms spacious. Kitchen & laundry were well appointed. My room was basic but clean, warm with a comfy bed. They have made the most of a funny old building.

CanadaZero sound insulation in my window, could hear everything in the street below. Was placed directly above the bar and could feel the bass from the music downstairs while laid down. Barely slept as a result. Ended up sleeping with noise cancelling headphones on.

United KingdomThe amenities are very simple. The bathrooms don't have hand soap which I'd expect as a basic necessity these days. For what it is, it's super overpriced, but I suppose that's typical of Vancouver.
Staff were nice and the beds were comfy. The location is perfect for getting around downtown. Also, the attached bar/restaurant serves great food which you get a discount for as a guest.

NetherlandsThe cleaning of the hostel was... Not the best. We booked a private room and we found stains on the "clean bedsheets". The room also had a really really bad smell, we were forced to keep the window open at all time but it didnt help much. Our towels smelled bad too so we just used our own stuff. Female bathrooms were usually clean but my partner complained often about how dirty the male bathrooms were.
The hostel has cheaper prices than anything else in the area. The location is really amazing in the heart of downtown and right next to Waterfront train station so if you're looking to save some money and explore the city it is a perfect place to stay at. Also, it is surprisingly quiet. I was expecting to hear all the loud music from the pub but we never had any issue with that! Service was also great, all the staff at the desk was always polite with us.

UkraineMajority of time the garbage bins were full in the kitchen. The showers had a lot of hair. But in some way I can't accuse the cleaning staff as the real problem was dirty people!
The hostel is in the downtown, so everything was within walking distance. We came for a visa appointment and the consulate was in a less than 10 minute walk. The room was nice, just for me and my wife. The kitchen had everything you need. The staff was super nice and always ready to help!

ItalyThe bunkbeds are often not close to a wall and the upper bunk doesn’t have any railing, so let’s hope you don’t move a lot at night or otherwise you might fall out. Also they are very wiggly, so both parties of the bed can feel every movement. Also a lot of the stuff doesn’t speak English properly. There was a heating problem with the second floor, and it took us a while to explain to them what the issue was.
The Cambie is right in downtown, well connected to all public transport. They have a nice common area with a small kitchen.
