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 StatesNothing major; the shower head in my floor had a small leak. I told the front desk when I was checking out and they were very nice about it.
Great location; about a 10 minute walk to the main train station and right next to Chur's old town. The dorm rooms are small but comfortable (the hostel was a prison until 2020, I think!) as are the beds. The kitchen is well equipped and the shared bathrooms were well maintained.

United StatesThe in room bathrooms didn’t have paper towels or something to dry your hands on. It’s so annoying to leave the bathroom with wet hands. The owners seem a bit cheap, they don’t. Offer free towels, they have huge tubs of shampoo, conditioner and soap, that’s also not free, but on the back of the door they make it seem like it is. No free breakfast. Also, the kitchen, the hallways and the common room echo unlike any interior I’ve ever been in before. Also, if you’re on the third floor you have to go through the kitchen to get to the shower, which is very strange and a little awkward.
The location was great. The workers fanatics. The beds extremely comfortable. Probably the best mattress, pillow, comforter combination I’ve ever experienced in a hostel.

United StatesNot much really
Modern, clean, great little place to stay and excellent value. Completely renovated former jail turned into hostel. I had a private room with my own bathroom tho there are group rooms with shared facilities like any hostel. My room twas small with bunk beds but super modern priced at excellent value in a central location. Bring a lock to store your touring bike in a communal garage. Highly recommended.

GermanyVery small room, space is limited if you are more than one in the room. Location was not easy to reach using google maps, very tinny streets. For the money you only get a tiny box to sleep and sometime people in the corridors can be loud.
Very centrical location. If you do a late check-in they offer the codes digitally. The room was very clean and the bathroom better than expected. You can also sit in the plaza which was pretty too. A kitchen is available in case you bring your own food.
