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, 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, 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 KingdomThe only downside is the bed is a little aged, quite hard. This is my only negative otherwise I slept in peace and loved my stay.
Where to start! The location cannot be beaten, it is located on the edge of the river in a less touristy part of the town. I've never felt so relaxed. The owner/receptionist was very friendly, very knowledgeable about the town and surrounding areas and he was able to reinstate my booking after it was mistakenly cancelled and he upgraded me at no extra cost to a private room despite booking into a dorm. There's a little kitchen area to cook and relax as well as a balcony. The attention to detail the owner puts in to cleaning the place cannot be beaten, talk about pristine!

Lovely hostel, comfortable and cosy atmosphere. Staff super nice and friendly. Would like to thanks Martin who really helped us by giving a lot of information. Martin and Alex are very nice staff.

Czech RepublicThe beds are a bit stiff but for the price it is all a very good deal.
The location is optimal, right in town, and staff was amicable and helpful, especially when I wanted to keep my bags there to walk around a bit more after checking out. Great for me as a student on a budget.

United KingdomI was in the attic which meant privacy but a steep climb. The beds were quite hard and the slope of the roof meant a tall persons toes scraped the ceiling.
Laid back place, with a lot of character and in great location. Communal kitchen and bathroom and a balcony overlooking the river to hang out on. My room was in the attic and had everything you needed, a table hanging space and a much needed fan. The guy managing it was really helpful. Hanoi memories across the road was very good as was Czech place near by

MexicoThe room I was at didn't have window curtains so there was a lot of sunlight coming from early morning, I wore my sleeping mask and I had no issue, just make sure to bring yours and you will have a good rest.
Amazing pleca in the heart of Cesky Krumlov, I was so surprised with the location of the hostel. It is next to the river and there are many restaurants and shop on walking distance. I really appreciated to have the parking spot next to the hostel and I had a very nice calm night and was able to rest. I didn't manage to meet the host as I arrived a bit late but she was very kind to write detailed instructions of how to get the keys and get inside the room. I found fresh lining and towel in my bed which was very nice.

Czech RepublicJust FYI -- for you to know, though this didn't bother me! -- there is a very steep curved staircase that you need to walk up to the first floor (for check-in) and potentially to the 2nd floor (if that's where your room is) ... so ...this could be tricky for someone with a heavy suitcase. The walls of the rooms are a bit thin (so, noise travels!) which is totally ok if you have ear-plugs -- but -- you might hear people in the kitchen late night or early morning. It didn't bother me, but a few people complained about it when I was there (I thought they were being uber-sensitive, to be honest!)
This, my fourth time @ Hostel Merlin! I absolutely love its location by the water, just on the edge of the old town! There's a few balconies, two small kitchens (w/ free coffee/tea), 3 bathrooms that are kept very clean. Alec the host is magnificently friendly! It's about 12 minutes from the Bus Terminal. Lots of cafes & convenient stores right around the corner. I stayed in the "mixed dorm" where there were small lockers. Flexibility to leave your bag there after checkout. I'll be back again, for sure for sure!

FranceI absolutely loved the hostel room, it was an attic room I guess. The whole building was like a fairytale house, very pretty. The prices were quite reasonable. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. In fact I could check-in before time and leave my luggage as well. I would definitely stay here again. 😊

Hong KongIt may be a bit difficult for anyone who carries heavy luggage to climb up the ladders, as the corridor and staircase are narrow.
The room felt cozy and it is close to most tourist attractions in the town.

IndonesiaThe shared bedroom feels too open but I guess it's fair for the price. It feels like you're crashing at your friend's place kinda
The receptionist that helped me check in was really nice and welcoming. I booked for 2 nights, the receptionist told me that for the first night I will be rooming with one guy and one girl, but that on the second night the shared bedroom will be filled with guys except me. At their own initiatives, the staff offered me to move for the second night to a private bedroom, for no extra fee! This was very considerate of them.

United KingdomI personally found the mattress in the dorm a little uncomfortable, but that's a highly personal matter. Be careful with check in/out times as the reception isn't manned 24/7.
