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.).

AustraliaHostel skews very young overall but had some older guests that just stayed clear of communal areas. Pool was packed with 18 year olds who made a mess so recommend avoiding the pool if that’s not your vibe, but hostel staff very attentive in cleaning up after them. Would love a cold free water tap in future rather than room temp for summer. Also needs more laundry machines as there was often a line.
Great communal kitchen, pantry and fridge to bring in own food and cook. Free supplies. Rooms very clean and tidy - stayed in 4 female room and was good amount of space. Good social activities. Great drink and food deals - free pasta. Great location - jump on tram (tap on) and be in centre in minutes. Highly recommend on this basis.

AustraliaNothing major but curtains on the beds would be amazzzing
For my first hostel, Yellowsquare Florence exceeded my expectations. The facilities were great and very clean - I especially enjoyed the rooftop pool, that was a massive bonus! They also have group activities on every night, which helps mingling and meeting new people which is perfect when solo travelling, as I was. Would highly recommend Yellowsquare Florence!!

Czech RepublicModern hostel for young people, room facilities new, quite sufficient. Every evening in the lobby visitors meeting over a bowl of pasta, special prices on drinks. Also some daytime activities on offer (I didn't take advantage), bar/disco in the basement (I wasn't there). Nice pool seating on the roof, the pool was already in use at the time of my visit but it was still too cold to swim. I like the location, walking distance to downtown about 17 minutes, but it's only 3 tram stops (tram connecting the city to the airport). I used the luggage storage after checking out, picked up my backpack in the locker on the way out of town and hopped on the next tram to the airport.

TurkeyNothing. Dont forget to bring your own locks
Everything! Garden, bar, rooftop pool, inside area. Dormitories, drinks.. Definetely more than a hostel. It is quite big, everything you need, they have. Dormitories are clean, you can socialize very easily, tram station is only 4 min walk but you can also walk city centre within 20 mins max.

United States1. The sheets were fine but the blankets were a bit questionable. 2. The kitchen exhaust doesn’t seem to work. If it does, it should be explained how to operate it. Though the kitchen supply is exceptional, the air quality can be improved. I don’t mean AC but the toxic air exhaust.
The safe and lockers combination was a great relief. I think this differentiates Yellow Square chains from others, placing them at higher level.
