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.).

PortugalFew things to point and most issues can be avoided if you discuss them previously with the staff. 1) Soundproof is a problem (avoiding having a room facing the main street will help); 2) Bathroom (of private room) had a very distinct smell; 3) Kitchen utensils missing when we were there (might have been due to the presence of a large group);
The location of the Hostel is perfect! Located in the center close to one of the main squares. It has all the amenities in the vicinity (small markets, coffee shops, restaurants and bars). It allows for a swift commute as the bus stop to the airport is within a 5 min walk from the hostel and at a similar distance from the metro and main tram lines. The building is quite nice and the experience could not be better. The staff is amazing, very polite and always available to help. The hostel has a shared kitchen well equipped for the preparation and storage of your meals. There is plenty space to work and the quality of the wi-fi is pretty reasonable. The hostel has a 24/7 reception which makes your life easy if you are arriving/leaving either early in the morning as it was our case. It has its own bar and provides breakfast for a reasonable price. The hostel provides luggage storage (also quite helpful - not sure if for free as we didn't need it). The hostel has also a couple of elevators that might be useful in the case of people with limited mobility or if you're staying in the upper floors or have heavy luggage. Regarding the room there is not much to say, it is a rather big room, with AC system and a small private bathroom. The only inconvenient during our stay is the soundproof of the room that wasn't perfect, still we were lucky as our room was facing the courtyard (avoiding all the noise from the Main Street - which might be a problem). In addition, the bathroom had a very distinct smell (really bad), the only way to solve it was by keeping the door closed otherwise it would infest the rest of the room. To summarise, and despite some of the issues here reported our stay was really pleasant. The quality/cost relationship is really good and we will definitely stay here again!

FinlandBed was the worst ever, planks were too far apart and I was afraid I would fall from the top bunk. Street was quite loud (Fri-Sat so makes sense lol). With a bed upgrade this would be one of the best hostels I‘ve ever visited and I‘ve visited MANY.
Effortless check-in and check-out. Amazing spaces, has everything a traveller would need. Very nice staff. Felt secure. Good common kitchen. Tidy. Probably the cleanest hostel I‘ve ever visited.

LithuaniaHaving to put the linens (sheet, pillowcase, duvet cover) on and remove for checkout was mildly annoying. I understand how it makes things run smoothly, but at 4am it was inconvenient.
Everything was good. It was clean, fairly quiet, good location. The rooms and other spaces were light and airy. I was only there one night with an early flight, so I did not use many of the amenities such as kitchen or common space.

RomaniaThere was a bad smell on the corridors and in the room. When I booked the room it showed with normal windows, but I received one at the mansard, so the windows were on the ceiling, therefore not much you can see outside. When opening the windows the room would get the fresh air, but after closing them, the smell would come back... very unpleasant. The walls after extremely thin, you could hear absolutely everything the others were doing, and considering they were screaming and talking all night long, I had a hard time sleeping and woke up at 3AM both nights. And overall, the look of the room was... not sure how to put it, old, used, scratched door and stained linoleum. The mattress was definitely the cheapest and some of the woods that the mattress stays on were missing, so you could feel some wholes while lying in bed.
I loved the location, you're in the middle of the city with so many things close by, especially the Gozsdu Passage. The staff was very nice. The room was big and clean, the bathroom was clean, had soap, shower gel and hair drier, plenty of toilet paper, 2 big towels. I liked that it has ATM, vending machine and coffee machine in the hallway. They also offer baggage storage after check out, or the option to extend the hour of the check out for some fee.

ItalyThe hostel is very big and has many guests and unfortunately not all of them are nice and respectful. During practically the entire night, screams and people running through the corridor could be heard.
The position is excellent, close to almost all tourist attractions and very easy to reach (the bus stop from/to the airport is 5 min from/to the hostel). Staff is very kind and cordial. And the common area is huuuge!
