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.).

South KoreaI didn't know that I should be membership of international youth hostel system (it was written in very small letters hidden in the downscrol on the booking information paper after funishing booking and I found it when I was informed of it at the front desk). So I should have paid extra charge for joining in the membership aside from room fee originally written on the website for the booking. The staff of the hostel said, they've asked several times to correct the description for the precise content and price, but it has not been changed.
There were various food options provided for the breakfast including vegan food-though very small corner was prepared with few kinds. The dining place was quite big enough to have all the visitors in the morning at the same time. It's located in very good place just in front of the subway station and the port with beautiful view! The room was clean and bed was also comfortable enough.

SwedenThis hostel is in a prime location, perfect for exploring the city and offering delightful views. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast is great. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with good facilities. The hostel's outdoor space is pleasant, and it's easily accessible by public transportation. Overall, it's a highly recommended stay, especially for families, with a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. Guests appreciate the amazing location, nice harbor views, and the convenience of nearby amenities like the train station and supermarket. The breakfast is particularly noteworthy, with delicious options available.

TurkeyAt the hostel there were not many common rooms to hang out as i saw at least i'd say, just simple chairs at the eating area. But other than that nothing i can remember.
The location was nice. Especially we really liked the breakfast it was included in the price. Our room was clean, beds were comfy. Also we saw lot of families there, could be maybe suitable for families too.

HungaryBecause it's part of the Hostelling International network, you need to pay extra fee per nights or you can buy their yearly membership. I wasn't expecting that cost.
Really helpful staff, they always did their best to help you. In addition, the hostel is at an amazing place in the center, a lot of attractions are withing 30 mins walking.

United KingdomYou had to pay an extra tax for being 27+ years old! Stayed at a few youth hostels and this was the first time I had to pay extra. Make sure you buy a Hostelling International card before you come or they charge you extra (if you are interrailing you can order one for free before you start travelling, just look at the benefits section on the Rail Planner app)
Super close to s-bhan. Great breakfast! Lunch was super tasty too (extra cost). Really liked having a toilet and shower in one section as you had a lot of room to leave your towel/clothes/get ready etc. Would happily stay here again!

Costa RicaI got early so I left my luggage there and later did the check in. The front desk workers barely explain me some stuff like I had to make my own bed so they could know which beds were taken, they give information on a paper which is written ONLY in german. There wasnt handsoap which means everyone had to leave the bathroom without properly cleaning their hands. As I said, you have to make your own bed, which means the hostel as a company saves on a possible job for someone else. I don't mind doing it myself but it seems that more and more hotels and hostels are trying to safe every peny in every way they can. Lastly, I stayed in the room around the time people came to "clean up" which included a woman telling me to make my bed, taking the trash can out and thats it, not even mopping the bathroom.
One of the best breakfast Ive had in a hostel. I even tried the typical franzbrötchen which was delicious. The hostel is around a 5min walk from a metro station but if you have a suitcase with wheels it can be difficult to get there as there are some stairs on the way to the hostel.

United StatesThis is a huge hostel. Therefore, despite the fact it was crowded, it was difficult for a solo traveller to socialize with all the different groups. One group is the families with kids or teenage children minding their own business. The other group is the bunch of annoying teenagers travelling like in a school trip, also minding their own business among them and doing what they do best: making a lot of noise and annoying other people. Then, there was a handful of solo travellers minding their own business either on their phone or computer. Apart from paying for accommodation, the hostel doesn't take credit card to pay for food or at the bar. Renting a towel was 4 euros. Are you kidding me? The beds were not comfortable at all. The next morning I felt my body like if I was run over by a truck. Then, at check in they asked me if I was a member. A member of what? Because I wasn't, I had to pay 3.50 euros extra per night. I don't know if this was mentioned in booking.com but I didn't like the way they did this, like a very sneaky way to charge more. Then, they gave me a card with 2 stamps for 2 nights stay. After completing, 5 or 6 I was told I won't pay the extra 3.50 euros anymore. There were good things as I mentioned, but if I have to give an overall rating and compare my experience with other hostels in Germany, this one was the worst for me.
The hostel is in a privileged location in Hamburg with a nice view of the harbour. The breakfast was included and was good. The facilities were clean in general.
