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.).

India1. Breakfast buffet was for 9 euros which I though was a bit expensive. 2. One of the elevators did not work properly. 3. They charge 3 euros for luggage storing. After the amount we pay (which is quite a lot), I believe this could be complimentary.
1. Walking distance from Strozzi Fallaci tram station. 2. Extremely clean, hygienic. 3. Provided me a clean towel every day for the 4 days I stayed. 4. Well lit and ventilated rooms. 5. Clean toilet, bathroom everyday. 6. Shower gel and soap was provided on a daily basis. 7. Extremely comfortable bed with inbuilt charging sockets. 8. Great outdoor area to relax by the pool and dining space. 9. Again I guess I was lovely to get fantastic room mates like Colleen and Madison who made the stay for great. 10. Variety of options for breakfast. 11. Great view from the terrace, including of the Duomo.

United StatesI wish you didn’t need a key card to turn the power on in the room. It was difficult coordinating that with people in the room. Also I wish there was something to hang clothes or towels in the shower. There was nowhere to set your things. Also the pool is much smaller than it looks in the photos
I like the hostel’s proximity to the historic center. The beds were really comfortable and the lockers were big enough to fit a carryon suitcase or full backpack. The room was also very spacious.. also the en-suite toilet was separate from the shower which was nice . The property is very clean.

FinlandSmoking was allowed in the courtyard and smoking was not controlled on the balconies. The smell of cigarettes entered the room. The water in the pool was very cold. You weren't allowed to drink your own drinks at the pool, but the bar didn't open until four o'clock. The air conditioning could not be adjusted or turned off. No minibar in the room. The machine was broken and you couldn't pay by card.
The courtyard and pool were nice. Great location. Definitely nice for young people. I cannot recommend it for adults and couples.

United StatesThe people in my room were a little noisy and they didn’t have the bed made when I walked in, small complaints though.
Breakfast was nice and filled me up for a good 7 or 8 hours of walking. The bar and pool give alongside the breakfast make the whole place feel like a hotel but it’s a social one.

United KingdomThe bar is very expensive, definitely worth going somewhere else for a drink. Check in also took a very long time and there was a long queue for this. It’s so big that you get a very impersonal feeling

AustraliaThe hostel is more like a hotel, so if you’re looking for a hostel experience this is not the place… For such a large property I was surprised it didn’t have a proper shared kitchen.

AustraliaThere is a very limited kitchen, only a microwave, kettle and fridge. No cooktop and no cooking utensils. I was told off for eating my prepared meal outside by the pool as this was the ‘bar area’, so instead had to sit in the dark common room
Very clean hostel, and the dormitory’s were great, large enough for big suitcases and big lockers. Charging points about each bed. And lovely shower and toilet
