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 Kingdomhe bed was comfortable, but I would have preferred it to have a curtain over the bed. The shower was good, but it wet the entire toilet and there was no mat to dry your feet. On the day I went there was a concert in the courtyard next door. The window did not block the sound. Luckily, the music was good.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the location. You can walk to many attractions, including the Exhibition Center, where I went to work. I liked the friendly service and the breakfast, which was basic and reasonably priced. Thanks

All fine, probably not worth having the en-suite, cramped a bit smelly. Good location near centre.

CanadaThe locker under each bed did not make sense.... it wouldn't stay closed with a lock. Even staff were unsure how to use it. Staff were great, and locked my passport up Didn't like that I was unable to check in early, as most hostels are normally can accommodate.
everything was very clean, staff were excellent. It was nice to have a kitchen, bar, lounge areas, ensuite washrooms. Happy there was storage when checking in early and leaving late. Location is a bit off from the main areas, but it was a very beautiful location by the canals with lots of restaurants, museums and parks.

MalaysiaMy bedsheet is a little bit dirty, maybe it's some stain that couldn't be removed. The worse thing was the WIFI. I do have my own data but maybe the reception wasn't good, so I can only rely on the WIFI of the hostel. However, once I entered my room, the WIFI connection was disconnected.
The room is okay, just like what you saw from the images they posted and the location is great as well. The toilet smells a little bit, that's normal I guess but the smell doesn't spread to the whole room.

United KingdomWe were woken up by a school trip at about 7am, which obviously isn’t the hostels fault, but we couldn’t explain the metallic scraping noises like furniture being moved that went on until we checked out.
The location was so helpful, especially since we had a concert at Castlefield bowl- we dropped our bags off and joined the queue metres from the entrance.
