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 StatesI had never stayed in a hostel before and the shared bathroom was not something I would do again. It was clean, the issue was with timing.

NetherlandsThe shower stalls in the bathroom do not have much space to hang your clothes or any separation between the shower and a possible dry space.
The living room is awesome, I really appreciated the fact that tea and instant coffee were freely available. The bunk beds are very sturdy and give a lot of privacy.

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing to complain about! Stayed 3 nights.
Everything. So much thought and effort has gone into making this place incredible which is clearly evident. Individual curtains for bunk beds allows for privacy and a darkened escape from the main light. Window views were lovely. Position to town and facilities exemplary. Stayed in Annex and kitchen was modern and homely. Toilets and showers also modern, clean and well planned. General, shared areas also fabulous. This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Congratulations to the planners/designers and staff who have made this place possible and for the staff who go the extra mile.

IrelandThe common area closes at 11pm so there is nowhere to sit and read or relax after that for me an owl who goes to bed at 1am or later . ,you just have to go to your room and the pub next door shuts at 10pm so either walk into town and sit in a noisy pub or go to your bed where. People may be sleeping
The beds with half enclosed wooden bit and the curtain give a cosy privacy you rarely get in hostel dormitaries .Nice location lovely view of the river from the room ,next door to a nice pub that serves food.

BelgiumYou couldn't access the kitchen between 11pm and 6am, so in case you have any food you need between those hours, you have to remember.
Nice hostel in the centre of Inverness. Really cute hostel, homey-feeling, creates a sense of community. Very close to the centre. Great staff and nice kitchen as well.

It felt more like an apartment rather than a hostel, so cosy with all the facilities provided, fully equipped kitchen: fridge, tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate, milk, beautiful cutleries, plates etc. Easy check-in, great location-less than 10 minutes from the bus station. In my room we had a guitar, found some Scottish shortbreads on my bed, and curtains could cover the whole bed.

United KingdomI don't like to call people but one member of staff did not acknowledge me in the entire 7 days I was there luckily for me it didn't spoil my stay.
It was clean and homely and the back garden was well maintained and had a good view. The kitchen was excellent and good for making food and the location was perfect, just out of the centre but close enough. I also used the tattoo parlour that was next door (very good)
