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 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.).

BrazilThe beds make noise when you move.
Staff is really nice, there are activities every evening, walking to the station is on a busy street, which is safer...there's also breakfast available every morning.

AustraliaWas a bit expensive for a hostel but to be expected around august holiday period and close proximity to cinque terre.
Loved this hostel!! Aircon was great during summer, lovely kitchen and facilities, good location close to the centre and 20 min walk from train station. Staff were all really helpful with recommending great places to visit. Hostel was also really social so perfect for solo travellers, they did dinners each night for €7 and also kayaking.

AustraliaThis hostel was one of the best I've ever stayed in! The facilities were clean, the kitchen was perfect with free breakfast stuff provided. Really friendly staff who went out of their way to help you and give many suggestions. Lots of friendly people and a big family vibe, with group dinners and group activities planned. The air-conditioning was good and the location was perfect, close to Cinque Terre, Lerici and other beaches. Also across the road from a nice garden and lots of restaurants. Would definitely recommend!

AustraliaOnly one aircon remote for all the rooms, left in a central location… and sometimes it grew legs and disappeared when you needed it.
Fantastic hostel, we had a great group staying at the same time. Easy walking distance to everything: city centre, ferries, trains. Great communal kitchen area. Social events every night for meeting fellow travellers. Staff were exceptionally helpful and gave lots of great advice !

New ZealandConveniently located in the city centre of La Spezia and a 15 min walk to the train station. The staff- especially Chandler and Amanda were awesome. They all helped us with planning our days in cinque Terre and there was a good atmosphere in the hostel- just the right amount of social atmosphere. Very clean hostel and shared bathroom. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re going to cinque Terre.

United KingdomThere was no sign outside so it was kind of difficult to find, but the hostel sends you info on what to look for so not really a big issue!

CanadaThe common areas are completely closed between 23h and 8h in the morning, which means we cannot access the kitchen between these hours. I understand it is done so to not disturb the other residents of the building, but I wasn't informed beforehand and i bought food for my breakfest and lunch (the next I was leaving for a hiking) and couldn't grab it in the morning before leaving so that was disappointing. Could be nice if there was a small fridge in the corridor of the rooms or the rooms to store some food for the next day when we have to leave early! :) This also means there is not so much ambiance at this hostel.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming! The hostel in general was very clean (kitchen, bathroom, room, etc.) and the location was perfect.

AustraliaThe beds are a little noisy and the lockers could be bigger to fit your bag. But it wasn’t a big issue.
The staff there were so lovely and so helpful, they really make the place. The family dinners were lovely. The layout in the room is nice and open and made it really friendly and nice to meet people. Staying in town felt nicer than staying in the cinque Terre as it’s not so touristy and there are other places to visit nearby, including PortoVenere which is lovely. Plus the train to cinque Terre is so quick and the station is very close to the hostel.
