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.).

SloveniaThe bathroom could be a bit cleaner and kitchen could have more spuns.
Bedroom was clean and tidy. The bunkbeds have curtains - for me this is really important, because other people do not disturb you. And the terrace and location are perfect.

ItalyIt wasn’t so easy to find the hostel at first, I searched for it for a while before finding a picture here on Booking that showed the entrance of the right building.
The location is amazing, the hostel is small but very comfortable, cozy and friendly, the staff is so nice and always available. The whole place was clean and not noisy at all. It was quieter compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in and I really appreciate that

ItalyThe kitchen could do with more utensils - 2 forks for all of the guests in the hostel in not really a lot.
The location is great, easy to reach by public transport / metro, 10 min walk to the stop where the bus to the airport departs from, a small DIA supermarkt 3 min walk away. Staff, especially Mercedes at reception speaks good English and is super friendly.

BelgiumIt was not so easy for me to find it, I think they need to put bigger sign in front of the building. The rules are a bit strict, and you can leave your luggage only until 16h in case you checked out. 100e in case you loose the key ecc, a bit strict. I imagine the owner being severe, hehe. But ok, for the rest overall for the money you pay is good.
Location and value for money are the best. It's very calm and there were not too many people at least in January. Beautiful terrace. Stuff is sweet and kind. You feel like at home. Everyone is respectful for quite hours and no noise during the night, which I think it's also thanks to no check-ins during the night. I would come back.

United StatesSpaces are crammed, room and bathroom, so be mentally prepare to deal with this, but nevertheless I wouldn't mind staying here again in the future, as I mentioned before, what matters for me is the location, so I can sacrifice on space and comfort
The location is the jewel of this property, in my opinion there is nothing else that can match it, being in the heart of Gran Via is a plus, you can walk everywhere, also a big big advantage that the building has a working lyft and a small terrace. The reception staff is friendly and I have seen that they also did the cleaning.

United KingdomThere was an older grumpy man on shift one of the evenings. The rules strict like using the word forbidden to take food into the room etc. The bedrooms a little small. Probably would stay again though.
The location was great. A decent kitchen to use. Nice communal area. The young Brazilian guy that checked me in was friendly and welcoming.

DenmarkNot well isolated, you can hear every noise in the hallway at night. Bathroom smells like moist and is not in good condition. Music from the radio in the common room. Women’s bathroom often without toilet paper.
It’s well located, close to Gran Via station and the bus to/from the airport. It has a small kitchen to store your food and a vending machine with 80cent coffee. You have your own locker with key.

FranceI didn't like the bathroom rugs in the shower, and that there was no hub for cooking (only oven).
I liked that it was quiet, that they were curtains to hide the beds while sleeping, and that the staff was super nice.

TaiwanIt’s not allowed to cook, only for heating up. The vibe is this hostel is vey quiet and not very social, but it’s nice for someone just want to get rest or work.
Very good location, on the gran street and close to metro station. Quickly get to shopping store, bar and restaurants. I like the balcony. I can enjoy my food and nice view, same height like the hotel opposite.

SpainThe shower room does need a little attention - not that it is an issue really. My biggest issue is that the showers are small. You can't open or close the door unless you step into the shower again. Space is limited and they can't do anything about it, fair enough.
I find them to be well located. Used them before, and I will use them again.
