Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyThe Wifi only worked in the centre of the hostel, not outside nor in the upper floors.
The hostel is extremely clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. It is quiet at night and it is about a 10-minute walk to the station. If you go to Zürich airport, this hostel is a good alternative to the Zürich hostels.

United States of AmericaIt’s a hike up the hill from the train station, but in a nice residential area. It’s a little out of the way from the town center, hence no restaurants/cafes close by. Bus stop into town is just around the corner.
Clean bathrooms, breakfast buffet provided lots of good food and coffee, and a sauna complex/wellness center (kss.ch) is right up the street for FKK chillaxing

Czech RepublicThe service did not seem very friendly, it was rather average. During the breakfasts there were a lot of wasps inside and outside, which bothered all the guests. The local guests came really late and very drunk to the shared room. There was only one charging socket and it was very high up on the wall. You could only charge while standing. The chargers didn't even reach the chair. There was not much privacy in the toilets and they were not very clean. The showers felt claustrophobic - small room without the possibility of air ventilation.
The accommodation looks amazing from the outside and is in a quite quiet location.

GermanyThe internet connection in our room was poor. Sometimes we have signals but most of the time don’t. We had to go downstairs to the lobby to get internet connection. The internet connection in the lobby was good.
We stayed in a five beds room with a private bathroom. The room is big enough for the five of us. The beds were comfortable. The room and the bathroom were clean. Breakfast was according to european standard serving selections of breads, cheese and cold cuts. Yoghurt was excellent. The offered also cereals. Service was excellent, helpful and infornative. Bus ststion is around 5 minutes walk and from there you can take bus number 4 and 6 to th3 schaffhausen station and the old city of schaffhausen. Also can go from the bus station to Rhinefalls. Transport wise was convenient

Czech RepublicHotel with old atmosphere. Shared wash and shower rooms and toilets were privately owned by the group and were difficult to use. The creaking floor and the sound of the door opening and closing also felt old. Breakfast was general, but it was unfortunate that many children were eating noisily. I was surprised that this was the first time I had experienced doing my own bedspreads, etc. at the hotel I stayed at.
The location was good with free parking and walking distance to major areas. It was fun to be able to rent a large area and playground equipment to play outside the hotel.
