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.).

MexicoIt was not very clean, specially the toilet in our room and the common spaces. They were doing renovations but the carpets looked dirty and you could see inside some rooms that were dirty as well.
The staff was very friendly and helped us arrange some of the tours. They provide free coffee in the morning and they have a cool bar. The location is super convenient.

SingaporeOne of the staff seemed a bit blur when giving instructions and for some, the hostel location could be a bit far from the nearest metro.
Clean room with friendly and overall helpful staff! The washer and dryer was also easy to use, with a qr code scanning system to pay. The 9am free coffees at the cozy lobby area are also a really nice touch - thank you for that!

Awesome staff. Reminded of a really good quality backpacker place, that catered superbly well for the traveller on a budget who wants great service and to meet other top travellers. We were treated exceptionally well - as were all the guests! Great bunch of students helping to run the place and adding to a very charming and interesting set of surroundings. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Suits everyone, from families like us, to independent travellers. Loved it!

CanadaHostel is fantastic. Location is close to the subway and a ten minute walk from Wenshu Monastery. There you can find tea houses, restaurants and great places to walk. Also within ten or fifteen minutes walk are many restaurants and a large mall. The property itself has a great bar and cafe located inside it. You can get a great breakfast there made by a very skilled ayi cook or you can get coffee prepared by one of the workers there. The lunches made by ayi are also unbelievable. The coffee is amazing and you can get it free between 9 and 10 am. The cleaning staff on site is so attentive and make an effort to make your room clean and comfortable. The room I had was fantastic—it had a huge window and a bathroom and was well priced. What makes the place special is the staff. Michael is a kind and thoughtful guy who always will make everyone feel listened to and keep the conversation going. Green is very funny with lots of jokes and humour. Damon is a fantastic manager. Laura is a fascinating person who will discuss many interesting topics with you while she makes a delicious coffee and she will go out of her way to help any customer. She will guide the group during a dumpling making or a hot pot party and everyone will end up having a great time. Fiona and Amber are volunteers there who light up the space with laughter, helpful local advice and sparkling conversation. And for me the person who made my stay most special was Nicole. She always has a smile on her face, cares so much about the customers, will shower attention on children, and creates a feeling of comfort and happiness in the hotel that is so unique. She will resolve any problem the customer has quickly and carefully and is totally committed to her job. Nicole is an excellent local guide as well so if you want to get to know real Chengdu life this is the person you should ask. Overall this hostel is a special place—a bit magical if you ask me.

New ZealandLoved it all.
I was travelling with my family, which included two children. Nicole was simply amazing. She gave extra care and attention to my children over and above what was expected. They loved her and have heaps of cuddles. We booked a whole room so we didn't need to deal with others with the kids. Worked our perfectly. Great location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Nicole certainly made the stay that much better, just hee friendly nature :)

The bar was a pleasant place to have a relaxing drink 🍸 in the evening. They had 2 volunteers named Fionna and Amber who added a great atmosphere to the place. Would recommend this hostel/hotel to all my friends who are thinking of staying in Chengdu. Best of luck 👍 to all the staff and volunteers in the future.

ItalySurely there is room for improvement in details but si cant complain about anything
The staff are extremely nice and helpful. Reception is available 24/7 for check in. The place is run by a team of young guys who are going the extra mile to make foreigners feel at home. Some of them speak very good english and are very knowledgeable about their city and region. The manager Damon and his all rounder helper Michael are great. They spend a lot of time with their guests making the Chengdu experience great. They organize tours and also some themed nights like the hot pot night and dumplings night. I don't usually go to hostels but I must say this is a great place. Apart from dorms there are plenty of single and double rooms with aircon, private toilet and hot shower. Rooms are big and beds are comfortable. Great value for money. There is a bar with very good beers and cocktails that runs till late. A little gym and laundry. Close by plenty of nice local places to eat and minimarts. The temple is only a few minutes walk from the hostel and very Chengdu Attraction about 20 minutes by Didi or Taxi. There is also a metro station not too far away. Overall a great experience. Will definitely recommend and come back! Great job guys. Keep it up.
