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.).

GermanyWhen I arrived nobody was there for the check-in, so I had to wait. And there are not enough keys, so I also had to wait to get my keys to enter the hostel.
The location of this hostel is great!

GermanyI came a bit before the check-in time because it was not possible for me to arrive later, so I understand that not everything is ready. However, the staff had no change so I had to go down to a store to change the money, then the key did not work and I had to change it, so I went up and down several times before I could go. To enter the building you have to walk over a big steps and go up some steps until there is the elevator, with a big suitcase this is not ideal. Also, the beds move when you turn and you can smoke on the balcony which is connected to the room, so you smell the smoke inside.
The hostel is centrally located, the staff is nice and it is quite cheap.

GermanyThe owner was not reachable via phone. The hostel was not easy to find. I was freezing in the night because of to little bed cover. I was not informed how the return policies are so I just left the keys on the counter.
It was not expensive. I got linen. There were no bed bugs.

FranceUnfortunately the bed side table, below the bed and some corner were full of dust . the renovation of the painting should be done in this room. The man bathroom was not clean s As the water was not flowing properly ( you can see a small pool in my picture ). the fan taking out the humity was full of dust . as the men bathroom does not have a window you could smell the humidity inside. It should really be renovate in my opinion.
Accueil du personnel et la qualité du matelas et des oreillers . The personnal welcome and the bed and pilllw quality. I would recommend for one to 3 night if you mainly use it as a place to sleep. Airconditionning excellent and the location is very central , very good

United KingdomThere is only a small toilet and shower for several rooms (luckily everyone was polite and respectful), the shower was not draining properly and small.
The hostel is in the centre, walking distance from main attraction. The bed was clean, bedsheets too. Storage is available if you bring a lock.

TurkeyThe building is ancient so it was hard for us with dust allergies. The walls may have mold, but not sure if that is the case or it is just very old. The bathroom is really small and unrenovated, the toilet paper can finish at night (even though it is renewed the next day) and made us feel uncomfortable to use the facilities to be honest. It wasn't dirty but it wasn't clean either.
The room was big and ideal for a group of friends and with great value for money. The aircon works perfectly. It wasn't super clean but the location was perfect for discovering Palermo. The staff is awesome: very friendly and nice, it was even possible to meet them up after their shift. The kitchen is available although we did not use it.

SwedenThis is a very basic place to stay. Pretty worn down hostel in the common areas (I would not use the refrigerator and the freezer was broken...) but the location is excellent and the (female) 8-bed dorm was better than I expected. You get what you pay for (in my case 24 euros, I only stayed one night) but like I says the room is totally ok with clean beds and aircon that worked fine. Would not recommend staying long but definitely recommend for one or two nights if you are on a budget. Worth mentioning: the girls working there where all really nice.
