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.).

BrazilThe wooden floor was quite noisy in the bedroom, so it was impossible to not disturb others. Wifi is free, but the signal was weak in the bedroom.
It is a huge and old building, it looks like an old luxurious hotel instead of a hostel. Staff is friendly (including the enormous dog that lives there, such a good girl). Bedroom was spacious and clean, though the old wooden floor is noisy.

New ZealandWe stayed two seperate times and had one room with good mattresses and one with thin. Paid for the washer and dryer and they didn’t work very well. On our first check in we had almost no info from the staff member except where the room was and the second check in we had a lot more info which was great. You might not have a plug near your bed
Location was good, lots of space for socialising.

UkraineI didn't like the girl at the reception, for some reason she doesn't think it's necessary to say " hello" when a client comes directly to the reception. When i come,i feel like im desturb her in private Hause. I really did not like the fact that there is no lock in the toilet in the shared room for women and men,how/why its possible?
Two guys who worked at the bar on different times ,unfortunately I don't know their names, on the morning and evening of June 20, were very friendly, I asked for help 2 times and they helped me extremely friendly.

AustraliaWhat you pay for is what you get. So can't complain. Room and ensuite, worn and tired. Very small.
Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Particularly the young South African barman. Great to sit around the bar and talk to other tourists. Downstairs, lots of old world charm. Close to bars and restaurants. Easy access to Lauterbrunnen by car, bus, or train. Washing machine and dryer. Kettle and microwave downstairs. Great view from our window. Plenty of parking.

BrazilThe towels are not included with the room, it was necessary to rent it (I guess it was 5 CHF per towel).
The location is great! Next to a supermarket and bus stop. Also is close to the city center, by foot you can walk for 15min and reach it. The view of the room was amazing. There's a great pub inside the hostel with great people!

IsraelYou can argue that the place is a bit old/outdated in style, I liked it, felt nostalgic. Beds could be a little better. Not serious. Got a full night's sleep
In a quiet part of Interlaken, which is a must see town, nothing less. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, huge dog will welcome you in the lobby. Big Lidl down the road. Balcony with an astonishing view of the mountains

SingaporeQuite a far walk from the train station (but there are some buses that can shorten your travel)
- Staff was very helpful. - There's a common space on the first floor (reception level) with sitting area and games. But we didn't have time to check it out much. - Room was pretty spacious for a family of 4 with our own bathroom. Bed was done up nicely too.

FinlandThe toilet was the main issue, it was loose and rocking, almost impossible to use. The room had no locker, the bed frame was not the strongest and not much comfortable. I would recommend it for short stay, have no idea about staying more than 1 or 2 nights.
It's a beautiful building with a wonderful scenery in a walking distance from the railway station. Staff were available and easy to check-in. The room was cleaned well, and the quality of the internet connection was acceptable.
