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.).

MalaysiaThe USB ports are not working, but the normal charging ports work well.
The bed is super comfortable, you get a charging point at your bedside. I love how the lockers are located right outside the bathrooms, it's convenient to take a shower and then keep your clothes in the locker right away before going back to bed. There are 2 toilets and two showers shared with other girls. Towels can be rented at RM3. Location is good, the back door leads right to Market Lane which has lots of cafes, bars and good food options.

Brunei DarussalamIt can be bit scary if less people , but i checked ahead for how many people booking is received . And the back entry through the valley is good but can be bit lonely when u coming back alone late into night like after 9 , but best part is that the small street outside the valley is well lit during night .

United StatesMaybe just the wifi. Sometimes it would stop working but other than that, nothing much.
The location is very convenient considering it is positioned in Old Town. The cafe is perfect to get food from before heading out for whatever adventures you plan for the day. The staff/host are very welcoming, friendly and helpful and the food is always delicious.

MalaysiaIf I really want to nitpick, I wish they provide a space for travellers to order food delivery and eat it there. Sometimes we just don’t feel like dining out at night and there’s no other way than having to wait until the next day to get food in the cafe/ restaurant. The bathroom doors squeak quite loudly. Could be fixed with a little oil. Other than that, everything else exceeds of my expectations
Great host! They must have put their hearts into preserving the beauty of this building’s architecture. Building was old but well maintained. Love the backdoor ambience. Secret path towards a little cafe. Street was bright and clean even during the night. Bathrooms and the bed are very clean. Lockers are great. Love the toothpaste and cotton pads provided.

United KingdomThere’s not really any communal space other than the café so it was hard to hang out and meet people. There also not that flexible with the check in time so if you arrive before 3pm you’ll have to wait but that didn’t bother us too much as the food/drinks in the café were amazing so we just relaxed.
It was a beautiful building, they have really tried to keep it as it was which is nice. The beds were sooo comfortable and we really liked the way it felt like you were in a tent. The room was a great size so had lots of space and the free toiletries were a bonus!

United StatesThis place was a total oasis of calm. It is NOT for someone looking for a party hostel. But everything in this hostel - from the beds, to the decor, to the thoughtful staff - is clearly done with care to make the best experience possible. Newton, William, and the other staff were always so kind and helpful. The bed is incredibly comfortable with lots of space in the women’s dorm.
