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 kitchen is not a kitchen. It's a microwave and a kettle. A massive room with lots of dining tables, could definitely be upgraded with even just stove tops added.
Considering how expensive Europe is for hostels, this is really good value for money. Pod beds, shelves in own bed, curtain, locker on floor - they've thought of everything. Looks very clean and modern. Good location, easy to walk to old town and port. I wasn't there for a social vibe so cannot comment on that, just glad to get a good night sleep.

GermanyThe staff was pleasant, helpful and friendly but quite slow to work. I arrived around midnight and had to wait for what seemed an unecessary time in a queue at reception. On the otherhand every guest was been dealt with with no rush. The reception had difficulty with requests which would be simple for a hotel. The room had almost no storage space and no hot drink facilities which are ususally available at the room rate. The atmosphere and location was very good. All-in-all a very good hostel. It didn't claim to be a hotel. .

i loved the beds (maybe just the curtains could be a little bit longer so they don't move), loved the bed itself, with the light and little locker on the shelf.

AustraliaNo kitchen. Only one shower in the communal bathroom, the other "shower" was like a rinse one with no hot water and only stayed on for about 15 seconds at a time.
Very clean and modern facilities. The rooms were light and spacious with pod style beds perfect for privacy and rest. The staff were very friendly and even gave me some food for my bus ride when I told them someone stole my lunch from the fridge. Good location, a short walk to supermarkets, pharmacy, and laundry. Short public transport journey to most popular places.

IrelandWalking from train station to hostel at night is not the safest but this is the nature of the city. Cleaners were also in rooms before checkout, turning on main lights and banging into beds with a hoover. Bit disruptive for the sleepy traveller.
Really comfortable with a social and lively courtyard. Rooms are clean and comfy. Great location with close proximity to the old port.

United KingdomThe bathroom floor was always wet and could be dangerous . Only one hot shower to use for quite a few residents . The shower tray should be none slip as if soap was on it could be a hazard and therefore could slip over if not careful.
The room was very comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was great for €4 and you could eat inside in the air-condition or outside in the courtyard. Short walk less than 5 minutes into the port of Marsielle to catch the ferry ,train or bus. Helpful staff on call at all time.

MontenegroThe hostel surroundings seem to be not entirely safe, especially at night.
A really good hostel with a welcoming atmosphere with clean and comfortable double room and common areas where travellers can easily socialise. It provides essential amenities like free Wi-Fi, a kitchen, a bar :). The staff is friendly. The location, close to public transport and popular attractions, adds to the convenience and overall appeal of the stay.

United StatesThe bathroom was overlooked, always flooded and there was never any soap in the dispenser. They also force you to use the elevator and all the stairs are locked, I guess this was for security but it was annoying and slow to have to wait for the elevator to go down one flight of stairs.
