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.).

Czech RepublicPretty excentric decorations. Felt a bit cheap.
The hostel was clean, bed comfy and room empty when I arrived. The whole place was well equipped with all necesities. Great for the price.

LuxembourgThe kitchen is big and practical and there is everything you need! I just didn't like that there was no eating possibility in the main space, to socialise/look outside into the snow. The freezer was also crammed with stuff that had already been expired for over a year! The shared fridge also had things ib it that were (almost) expired. I'd suggest letting people write their date of departure on it and making a section in the fridge for giving away free food so that not as much food is wasted.
liked the unique interior! There weren't many other guests (only 2 hostel rooms) and it was really easy to meet other travellers :) Communication went smoothly and the place was close enough to the bus station/supermarket.

Czech RepublicThere is only one shared door key in the key box outside. The small box with the tiny key board was driving me mad every time I tried to get in. It is for someone with tiny fingers and good eyes:)
It is a lovely place in the center of the town, it is very cosy, feels like beeing at home, spotless clean, the kitchen is well equipped, there is enough space for everyone. There is only one bathroon and one toilet, which seemed to me not enough for 12 people, but during my 5 days stay there wasn´t any issue. It is a good place to come back to after spending the whole day outside in the cold. I have enjoyed the stay there.

I had good time staying over here. The Lady in charge of the hostel has done very good job of maintaining it. when i booked first i thought it would be any everyday hostel but it was clean. good hygiene and well maintained. and also at a great location. The bus station for busses towards santa cluas village is just a stones throw away.

BelgiumThe hostel is right in the middle of the city, 3 minutes away by foot from a supermarket, and 10 minutes away from multiple tour offices. Alissa, the host, was incredible ! She is very helpful and gives plenty of informations about tours, the city, restaurants... As a solo traveler, it was great to meet people, I would definitely recommend it !

FinlandEverything was superb, however the price was in my opinion really high, considering the accommodation is a hostel with six-bed sleeping rooms - of course, since Rovaniemi is very touristic and the location is so great, I understand it to some extent but it was still rather much when being on a budget.
The hostel had an excellent location, amidst the city centre, so that this, the Arkticum museum and the Ounasvaara forest was within walking distance. The facility was clean and comfy, everything required was provided and the staff was there to help.

United KingdomThere wasn't much I didn't like about it. Maybe at most, I'd ask they re-stock the kitchen more regularly, because towards the end of our stay, they were running out of things? And the beds are a little thin, but they're still fairly comfortable.
First, it's really cozy, personally decorated. But also, it was so CLEAN!!! The restroom was regularly cleaned and re-stocked, as was the kitchen space. The convenience of the kitchen supplies saved a lot of money on food in the morning, and the clean toilet is always welcome. The hostel was also really well taken care of, and the guests were also very chill. Not to mention, it was so WARM! And in the -30 degree Celsius temperature, the warmth was so very welcome. Even the floors were warm. The location was also super convenient, only a 12 minute walk to the city center, and about 5 minutes from a small grocery store where we could pick up snacks. If you were heading to Santa Clause Village, there was a bus stop not even five minutes away.

The hostel is 15 minutes on foot from the train station, 3 minutes from the No8 bus stop that takes you to Santa Claus village and 5 minutes from the center (Lordi square). The girl who worked at the hostel very kind and willing to inform you about moving around the city, activities that need a reservation (northern lights hunting, visiting a reindeer or husky farm)
