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.).

EstoniaGreat location in the old town, friendly and nice staff. There is a welcome drink! Unfortunately, I stayed only for one night and needed to leave early, so I couldn't join any event, but they do organize tours and gatherings which is a great way to meet fellow travellers. The beds were sturdy and equipped with good curtains, lockers, lights, and sockets. Also, the towel was included, and luxuriously big and soft one, pretty exceptional for a hostel :)

United StatesFacilities are older, but it was expected. The after hours community room is too small to accommodate guests and friends. The carpet should be removed in the building.
The staff and location are the best. I stayed for a week. Good hostel to meet people. Rooms and bathrooms are clean. It is a nice welcoming space and there are events everyday to connect with your fellow travellers.

The hostel is right in the old town area, so the location couldn't be better. It is quite large with several floors and many rooms. The staff is super helpful. The rooms are nice, beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. The shower area and bathroom are more than sufficient. Good security. The hostel has some super pleasant common areas that are always very busy. Good vibe

LithuaniaWi-Fi connection wasn't that good, especially at evenings and nights.
Just a perfect location, you can reach the main areas by foot. Friendly and helpful staff members. The room is clean, with comfortable bed and a big security locker underneath. The bathroom's and room's areas are accessible by a security card only. The showers and toilets are also surprisingly clean. You can leave your luggage even after you check out, so you don't have to carry everything while you're still enjoying the city. A lot of great events organised by this hostel. I'd definitely come back for a stay here.
