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.).

SwedenThe bed was not very comfortable and didn't offer much in terms of privacy. Whenever I moved the bed made loud creaking noises and there was no curtain or anything else to make the space more private. Other hostels at similar price points have offered much better beds.
The hostel was in a very good location near Vieux Port and the reception was staffed 24/7.

Very close to the Meteo / Bus / Vieux Port. Nice house not the normal house for a hostel. Big Place behind the doors where can take place cars or some games with pther persons.

AustriaMy room in particular was just next to a common space. People gathered until after midnight and were loud. (But I expected this from a hostel anway. So no critique, but just for others to be aware.) The beds in my room were free-standing metal structure bunk beds without walls or other stabilizing elements. So if one person turns around, the one(s) on the other level(s) will definitely feel the shaking.
It was just what I had expected: a bed for a night between two trains. I was positively surprised by the cleanliness of the bathroom.

AustraliaThe wifi was pretty bad, it kept dropping out to the point where I struggled to send an email. There were no proper stoves, there were just 2 electric portable hot plates.
The location was fantastic! So close to the Old Port, near a metro station and walking distance to the Notre Dame. The room was massive and there were 2 decent sized kitchens. The staff were nice enough.

ItalyRooms are very basic, in particular I was in a room at the last floor with only roof windows, very difficult to open and it was very hot during the day.
The hostel is perfectly located near the port and the bar/restaurant area. Friendly staff, nice facilities/bar etc.

AustraliaBunk beds although very comfortable, did not have privacy curtains. Towels not provided but rented which is a shame considering the price of the bunk.
Clean and comfortable 4 person room was very roomy, with private bathroom and WC. Wifi was excellent and the communal areas fabulous. Staff very friendly and obliging.

GermanyThe hostel wrote to me before I stayed as there's no metro running late at my arrival time and I would have to take a taxi from the St Charles train station to the hostel. That could have cost me 20 unnecessary euros. Luckily I checked Google maps and took the night bus 521 which costs only 1,70 euro and it's only a 6 minute walk from the stop 'vieux port barrat" Breakfast was okay but very plain. Maybe increase to 8 or 10 euros and offer more fresh items and more variety ;-) I paid over 40 euros for a female shared dorm room, didn't get to sleep all night as a possibly drunk woman snored like 4 elephants so loud that even ear plugs wouldn't have been useless and it wasn't worth this price. Had much better comfort in a mixed dorm and better facilities in Lyon last night for half the price.
The 2 very good things about this hostel are the staff, especially the lovely Ambra and the location - close to the port and in walking distance to the Marseille soap museum.

United StatesThe staff was nice and the bathroom in the dorm room was clean. The location is the selling point. It is right next to Old Port, Marseille's city center, so your close to a lot of sites, and you can explore the night life without being too far from your accommodation. The hostel has a bar for lodgers to socialize. If you prefer/enjoy hostel living then this is a perfect good spot. Personally, I am not a fan of hostels but I stayed here because I only needed a bed for one night. Nonetheless, the space was clean and the dorm room was spacious.
