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 KingdomCheck in times were very limited, but the host was very friendly and helpful.
Location and secure bike storage were excellent. Clean and comfortable and plenty of space. Central locations meant that it wasn't much of a problem not having access to a kitchen.

IrelandThe room was for 4 people and 2 were suppose to sleep on a bunk which is ok but the lower bunk was really claustrophobic as the upper bunk's height was really really low. Lower bunk wasn't too comfortable
Location is excellent as it on road from where the town starts and its a lovely walk from this hostel down to the town. Room was clean with neat bedding. Toilets are shared but they were clean as well so no complaints. Its perfect for a night stay to continue the drive next day.

IrelandNo lock on the door for the dorms, which I didn't like given that when I left in the morning the front door had not been closed properly so anyone could have walked in to where I was sleeping. No locker available in the dorm room to lock your items. Note to future guests that check in is strictly 5-7pm, so plan accordingly and bathrooms are co-ed. No charger by bed, have to leave phone to charge away from bed and by door where outlets are.
Bed was comfortable. Clean pillowcase provided at check-in for you to put on pillow. Windows blocked noise from street. Curtains to block light. Location is in town and bars and restaurants are walkable. Key code to get in front door. For 30euro this was good value.

GermanyBut the room was directly towards a big road crossing, so much of traffic noise. Also there was no place to sit a bit together with others, no living room or another space, to make you comfortable. Also nowhere something to get some hot water for a cup of tea or coffee.
The room was nice and clean.

AustraliaI had to wait an hour to check in due to the host having her phone on silent and not answering when attempting to enter the hostel during the nominated check in window.
Room was clean and adequate, great location in Kenmare. Bunk bed mattresses were comfortable and the towels available for hire were very nice.

ItalyIt could do with a bit more of shared space it seems when COVID happened they had to close the hostel partially and are in the process of getting the shared space back.
Location was great near the heart of town everything was within a 5 minute walk.
