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 did not love that I had to book the entire 5 person dorm when there were only three of us and the other two beds sat empty. Felt like an unnecessary expense. I’m sure a solo traveler would not have to books whole room so I’m wondering if I should have made three bookings instead of one as a group.
Comfortable rooms, decent sized bathroom, very clean and quiet space. Downstairs cafe was lovely. Great location as well with plenty of free overnight parking.

United KingdomThe room was a little more basic than it needed be. Like having nowhere to put down things in the wetroom shower without them getting wet. Some of the guests were a bit rude to the staff at breakfast, turning up late and then demanding it be put out again, which felt a shame. Get with the team folks.
For a youth hostel, despite basic furnishings in the room, this proved an excellent choice for a short stopover. Not stayed in a YHA for many years, but the heritage building was lovely, the facilities good, and the location was second to none. Will definitely be back, and then make use of the excellent shared kitchen. The staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomA very small observation was the lack of serviettes in the eatery and maybe a wider choice of cereal ie muesli or granola. Apart from that I can’t really think of anything that marred my stay.
The whole experience of staying in the hostel met all my expectations inasmuch that I required accommodation central to all of the places I wished to visit during my short stay. It was quiet and had a quaint charm suited to my requirements.

The building is beautiful! The downstairs communal area is fab! Kitchen was large and plenty of areas to prepare food of choosing to do so. Location is very central and close to some nice bars and restaurants. Had a whole dorm to myself the first night as ot was pretty quiet and the next had a shared dorm with a mate. Very comfortable beds and the hostel is clean. Staff nice and friendly.

United KingdomThe mattress might not be to everyone's like, that's a very personal thing. But all linen clean and comfortable. Nothing else to say.
Very friendly helpful staff, interesting mix of purpose within the renovated old granary. Good to see an old building repurposed instead of flattened. Ground floor cafe/open space well used warm and welcoming, food good and reasonably priced. Only 10 mins walk from the railway station, easy access to coastal path and beaches very pleasant couple of days spent here

United StatesIt's a little hard to find -- it shares a building with other things and is kind of tucked away. Kitchen and lounge are on the top floor and very separate from rooms.
Pretty nice place to stay! Right by the town walls so you have direct access to the water. Rooms and bathrooms were really spacious, staff very friendly.
