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 KingdomReception was a little hard to find but I'm sure it was more me being over tired after a long drive aha
Honestly, staff and communication was amazing - can't fault it. I only stayed for one night and was out early in the morning, so I can't say much on the hostel as a whole. But my room was clean, a very good price, and the home itself is stunning, a very very nice hostel if you're backpacking or just need a cheap room to stay in. Id love to come back and stay longer in the future.

English breakfast was good although we were not aware of toast making facility until we spotted someone using the toaster.

United KingdomOverall, my stay at YHA Stratford-Upon-Avon was fantastic. However, it's worth mentioning that the shower cubicles were a bit on the snug side.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the YHA hostel in Stratford-Upon-Avon, and I must say it was a truly remarkable experience. First and foremost, the hostel's location is simply stunning. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it offers a peaceful retreat amidst beautiful surroundings. The serene ambience immediately sets the tone for a relaxing stay. The hostel is housed in a magnificent building, adding charm and appeal. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with spacious, well-maintained rooms that provide ample space for guests to unwind and recharge. The on-site cafe offered delicious breakfast options. It was such a convenience to have a hearty meal readily available each morning before heading out to explore the wonders of Stratford-Upon-Avon. But perhaps what stood out to me the most was the hostel's overall cosiness. Despite its size, an undeniable warmth and homeliness made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

United KingdomA little far from the town, which was probably only a problem because the buses were not running and so we had to walk into Stratford after waiting at the bus stop for 1.5 hours!
A beautiful building with so much space. Our room was on the second floor and we remarked that it was well heated on that floor.

United KingdomReceptionist on arrival could have been much warmer and friendly. The automatic lights in the bathroom are too bright - I prefer a shower in lower lighting. Hooks - hooks to hang things are so important in these basic rooms.
Excellent kitchen (except the temperamental hob). Great games room. It was quiet when I booked so I had the room to myself - great! Beautiful location, beautiful building .

United KingdomThere was no network and the Hostel wifi has zero coverage in the rooms. So you have to come down in lounge area to use phone. It becomes worst when you have absolute no network in the rooms.
Overall everything was good, staff was excellent, room, etc. except the network and wifi.

United KingdomMy only possible criticism is that the over-bed lights, which I guess are YHA standard, as so close to the head of the bed that your pillow (or head) tends to block out the light if you sit up and read. that's all I can manage - otherwise perfect and great value.
Very clean room with everything you need. Very neat and well-designed ensuite shower room. Didn't have time to use the lounges and public spaces but they looked extremely inviting.
