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.).

IndiaAmazing location and great value for money. Dorm rooms are large with a lot of space while beds have curtains for extra privacy. Kostas who is the owner of the hostel is super helpful and goes out of his way to plan your activities during your stay. He is super funny and always available to help should you need it. All in all he absolutely makes sure you are comfortable while staying at the hostel

NetherlandsNothing was disappointing although a nighttime lamp and shelf next to each bed would have been nice.
The kitchen was well equiped and the living room was made cosy and home styled. After a long day in the monasteries it was just the right place to relax and talk to other travelers.

United StatesThe Holy Rock is a great place to stay for a few nights while you take in the Spectacular views of Meteora. It is centrally located, so you can walk to the center, catch a tour bus, or hike from there to the monasteries.

United StatesNothing negative about this hostel! All beautiful and welcoming!
The Holy Rock Hostel in the heart of Kalambaka is awesome and Kostas and Nikos, the owners, are doing an outstanding job of keeping the place beautifully clean. Super friendly place and special extra touches everywhere you won’t find at other hostels! It’s has been great to be here and enjoy the scenery of Meteora. Plan to be here for at least 3 nights, one is really not enough to discover the area. It is such a special place!

The staff is what makes this place truly fantastic - Kostas and Sue are super friendly and will make your stay in Kalambaka a time to remember. The vibe of this whole place is also great with lots of friendly travellers to chat with and share experiences with. Beds are comfy and rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Nice and well equipped kitchen and close to all the shops and restaurants in Kalambaka. One of the best - if not the best hostels I've ever stayed in.
