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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IrelandNoise levels were high, understandably in a hostel (don’t stay here if you want a good nights rest). CC charges were high, atm at the reception desk didn’t have cash in it when we enquired about taking money out, bit inconvenient. Recommend prepaying or have cash ready. Bring fly spray, the bar area was particularly bad for flies.
The hostel staff were welcoming, offered us a shot of tequila on check in! Offered a lot of group activities & had a very active WhatsApp chat to keep you updated. Great views of the Lagoon from the roof. Organised sunrise paddle boarding through the hostel, helpful.

New ZealandWonderful hostel with a great vibe. Staff were super friendly, and always putting on different events for people to socialize, if they wanted to. Pool was also great. Rooms were up to scratch, location was good and the food was great (especially the all you can eat Argentina grill night - thanks Lautaro marina & Josue)

SwedenThe mattress in the capsule dorm was worn off and I slept in a hole in the middle of it and the same for the pillow. I stayed for one more night in a different dorm where the mattress and pillow were much better!

CanadaThe price was outrageous. And super variable. If I looked at a day 2 weeks out it was like a third of the price. I was paying for 2 nights what another girl paid for a week. And it wasn't even full. Robbery!
All the facilities were great. Comfy beds. I was worried about noise from parties but my room was silent. I saw one girl leaving annoyed due to lack of AC but my room was good

ItalyThe room (suite) was a bit small and there were not many options to hang your wet towels&co. Also, the kitchen was quite unfurnished. There were only three cups available for the whole hostel!
Great location, great place, super clean! Very international (which can be a plus or a minus, depending on people, I was with some Mexicans and they were by far the minority in the hostel ;) I think it's a great place for partying and to meet people!
