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.).

SpainTo say two tiny stuff, they could add curtains to the beds and more toilet paper in the private and shared toilets. If you go early in the morning, there is no toilet paper anywhere.
Everything! I've been in many hostels during my trip and this has been the best by far. The building is big and amazing, there's an area for everything you need, the staff is very kind and it's all clean and safe.

PolandI was surprised in every aspect, did exceed my expectations. Although there were lots of people in the same room it was really comfy. It was extremely easy to get acquainted with everyone, people were really friendly and talkative. Downstair bar was a place everyone gathered and spend their evenings, but there was also a plenty of room to simply just rest and chill. As a bonus, hostel is located in a decent location with beautiful views.

BrazilBy far the best hostel i’ve ever been to. The staff was really nice, breakfast was great, bathrooms and rooms were very comfortable and neat, kitchen very well equipped and the karaoke night was like super fun. The guests also helped in the experience, met a lot of nice and opened people who made me feel at home. The best part of my stay was Juan Luis. Best receptionist ever, helped me in everything i needed and embraced me since when i arrived. I’m coming back and recommend the hostel a 100%, for sure :)

ItalyTo be honest nothing to add! I can’t wait to try other ostello’s bello
Hello whoever is reading this feedback. I’m gonna write it in English so everyone can get to read it and understand it and I’ll be very honest, this is one of the best or the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Let’s start with the staff ( Juan, Elide,Giulia…) without forgetting the rest of the staff who clean the rooms everyday and always friendly without exception. At the bar as well always smiling and having time to talk and make jokes even when they are super busy. Before I forget you will be offered a free coin for a drink of your choice once you arrive ;) You have free pasta, free viggies, free fruits, and a wonderful kitchen to cook your own meal I meaaan you have no excuses to not cook there. I extended my booking with them because I loved palermo and I was feeling like home at ostello bello. Let’s talk about activities, I never got bored and after i extended my staying there I sometimes wouldn’t mind staying the whole day at the hostel because it was very fun. Karaoke nights, games, music , DJ nights were the best. That was my best holiday and I will definitely try other ostello bello in napoli and Milan for sure. This is your sign guys to book in this particular hostel ❤️🙌 I really couldn’t believe how perfect everything was there.

It's hard to find better once you've tried Ostello. The truth is that I was pleasantly surprised, I booked a room for one night for my trip to Palermo simply looking for a place to rest for a couple of hours before taking the boat to Tunisia, my biggest criterion was that it was near the port, and here I found one of those places where you feel at home from the first moment. I frequently go to Palermo, and I stayed in a hostel where I was always very comfortable except for its location, which is in the center, and that makes it impossible to find a parking space. The staff at Ostello is super friendly. The Spanish guy who greeted me is the type to shake hands and smile when greeting, something that immediately makes anyone feel welcome. The facilities are huge, modern, super well maintained and clean. Outdoor spaces where you can sunbathe, rest, listen to music and meet new people. Work areas and internet connection and a kitchen that invites you to stay, with free access to everything you may need to cook a good Italian-style pasta dish, and fresh products such as vegetables and fruits.
