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 KingdomI stayed in room 9, and while the room itself was comfortable, I could hear a 'it.....it' sound whenever the door in the next room was opened. It seemed like the door might be broken.
The shower was great—plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The kitchen and dining area were clean, well-equipped, and perfect for meeting new friends.

New ZealandBathrooms were a little limited, and it was a little odd that the men’s toilet and shower are right outside the women’s hostel room.

United KingdomThe only thing what I didn't quite like that we had to strip beds on checkout. It's not that it would be a problem but checkouts are stressful as it is with children and I wasn't aware that it's expected I was told to go back and strip beds when I was giving keys back. It kind of left little bad feeling.
Amazing location! Clean rooms and comfy beds, very lovely stuff ☺️

Czech RepublicOur room had an emergency exit light that simply shined green too bright in the night. I raised this to the receptionist in the morning and he seemed very understanding and promised to look into it for future guests.
The hostel is newly renovated and exceeded our expectations, very helpful staff and a very pleasant location in a beautiful village of Braemar.

United KingdomMinor improvement suggestion- just have a latch/lock on the doors to bedrooms. The current configuration needs two hands, invariably you are carrying something to go in or out of the room. With just the key/latch and no handle you could easily get in and out with one hand. A simple but practical improvement
Location, decoration in common area is a high standard. Kitchen is well equipped.

BelgiumSome travellers kept their shoes on in the premises, especially in the kitchen and the bathrooms, while others complied and walked around with slippers, for example. The staff should be tougher with those who do not comply.

United KingdomMe and one other person were trying to get the heating on in dorm, but it was very temperamental, sometimes working, sometimes not. So she asked a member of staff for assistance, who came to look at it over an hour later, and just dismissed it with "it's an old building, I can't fix the heater I'm afraid". I would have appreciated more reassurance that someone would look into fixing it, and the offer of more duvets and/or a back up heater that you can plug into the wall (but he said they don't have any)
Great location, really nice old building, I had a very warm welcome from staff
