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.).

United StatesNo lockers. 20 years ago, that's what one expected in a hostel. Now, lockers are standard at good hostels. No fridge.
Clean, with curtains and a good location--being close to the train station is probably much more important for most hostelstayers than being close to the castle, which is still within comfortable walking distance.

United KingdomDiscount at the bar/restaurant would have been nice; luggage room was just an unused part of the restaurant and not in a locked room but was fine; there was no common room/lounge and so the only place outside the room to chill was the bar/restaurant
Bar/Restaurant on the ground floor was great; lovely old building well preserved; clean and comfortable rooms with a range of facilities to a good standard; friendly and helpful staff (arranged a taxi to the airport); central location; would stay at again

Irelandcame back to the place after 11 pm and the front door was closed, a local pointed to the side door that opens with the key card so that wasn't explained well and freaked me out because we were outside in the rain and nobody answered the phone call. Also, the area was closed and we couldn't have drinks in the evening after 11ish
It was a clean, quiet place, received the food recommendations, gave a small lock that fit in, left things before the check-in and it was kept at the back of the building. Washrooms were outside and it was quiet.

United KingdomI made a request for a lower bunk on booking, but was given an upper one, even though I was only sharing a six bed room with one other person... I ended up taking a lower one anyway to not bother my roommate after hours. Ideally they could install privacy curtains, as the metallic bunk bed frames could easily accommodate them, and a shelf for personal items would be ideal too, especially for a charging phone, glasses, etc.
Excellent location in the city, a short walk from the train station, and a pleasant 15/20 mins walk to the old bridge and medieval city. The whole building is nicely decked out, the restaurant/bar is really appealing and has a sophisticated atmosphere not typical for a hostel. The bedrooms are on the smaller side for six people, but spotlessly clean and with comfy beds. The under bed lockers are a good size, and took my large backpack with no problems (own padlock required, as standard). Special mention to the staff, who were among the most engaging and friendliest I've met and chatted with on the road. Leaving my backpack after checkout was allowed, but not in a protected or secure place. Merci beaucoup.

FranceThere is no place to hang clothes in the bathroom. Also, the soap dispenser was empty and wasn't filled even after requesting. Food options are scarce, so you'll need to rely on the cafes & restaurants at Place Carnot.
The neighborhood is a bit congested but the hostel is within walking distance from all places - the train station, Flixbis' stop, and also the city center where all kinds of cafes, restaurants & other shops are available. You could also walk to Pont Neuf, Pont Vieux, and the castle. Full points on cleanliness too.

DenmarkNo soap or towels (not even for drying your hands). I've stayed at hostels in capital Citys around Europe, where these things were included and the price of the stay a third of the price. That being said, I would definitely chose this hostel again, unless a cheaper option were available.
Fantastic location! A 15-20 minute walk from the old medieval town / castle. The staff was nice, rooms were clean and comfortable.

FranceRoom was overall clean but they clearly don't vacuum under the bed and it kind of smelled like inside a bathroom when we first entered so we had to ventilate for while. The hotel is close to the station but pretty far by walk from the fortified city (20min). It makes a good walk but it is to consider if you prefer to be close to main touristic attractions. It is a hostel so minimal amenities and no kettle for boiling water.
We booked a private room with private bathroom. The room was spacious (I think it was a barrier-free one) and comfortable in general. It was not too far from the station and a shopping street. There is a direct access to the rooftop from the 2nd floor where we were (unfortunately it wasn't an open day for the bar but it was still opened to have a look). It was pretty calm since it was in the middle of the week so if you want to enjoy the tapas and like it a bit more lively better come on weekends. All in all good value for money.
