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.).

SwitzerlandUnpractical bathroom no place to hang up clothes or to put own personal belongings while in the shower, the only option was the floor.
Location wise it was good, only 10-15 min by foot from the train station and the cathedral, I liked that they cleaned the bathroom every day.

CanadaLots of restrictive rules, for example you cannot bring your own food or drinks inside the rooms. Seems like a lot of school field trips stay at this hostel, which got a little loud and annoying.
The room was very modern and spacious for the value. The staff were very responsive, and you had an incredible view form the balcony. Laundry service and the restaurant was very nice. The rooftop chilling area was very nice as well. Appreciated daily housekeeping.

AustraliaIt is not mentioned on booking.com that it is a backpackers so we were a little annoyed about that when we found out on our way there but it wasn’t actually that bad. It wasn’t noisy at night and we had a room away from any dorms. One thing that was annoying was that no one could check in until 3pm so it was ridiculously busy checking in - quite a few teenage/young adult groups. The reception area and exit ways to the rooms was chaotic. We did feel old being in our 50’s but the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Comfortable. A few people working at the reception so they are very fast and helpful. Although you share the room with people you dont know it was safe.

New ZealandA little heavy handed on being eco friendly. The rooms require a key card be left in a slot by the door to enable lights. If you leave the room, you have to arrange someone else to put their card there. In the common area toilets, the lights turn off after a few minutes, and can't be reactivated from within the toilet stall, so you could be left in the dark. Laundry washing machines don't spin out clothes, so have to do it manually in the sink, then have to pay for two dryer cycles to fully dry clothes because of the excess moisture. I raised it with staff and they said that's just how it is. Check-in took 45 mins with only 10 people in the line and two people on the counter. This is bit too long in my opinion. Shower doesn't drain quick enough, so have to turn off the shower frequently to stop it from flooding. Pillow on bed was very thin. I had to fold it in half to make it comfortably. I haven't had to do this at other hostels. Lockers require thick padlock to push the locking mechanism in far enough.
Close to the train station. Neighbourhood was clean. They provide a towel free of charge. Lots of common areas. Room was clean and tidy and very spacious. Lockers were large.

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.
