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.).

AustriaThis was probably one of the cleanest hostels I‘ve stayed in! There was a little space next to the mattress to put some stuff at, which I really appreciate. Sam, the owner, is a really nice and caring human. It’s very quiet during the night. The location is excellent. I would really recommend staying here!

SingaporeIf you need rest and you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs in case the other guests are mingling and chatting in the common area.
The first thing that struck me upon arrival was Sam’s gentle demeanor. He’s such a soft-spoken person, and yet he warmly greets you by name each time he sees you, even at 1am when you bump into him quietly watering the plants. 😆 I think one thing that concerns most people in a hostel setting is the shared use of the toilets and showers. Like, would it be inconvenient to have to wait for your turn? Would it be messy to use? Well, if you’re a typical worrier like me, please allay your fears! The toilets and showers were always immediately available when I needed to use them, and they were always clean! So don’t let communal toilets and showers hold you back from making your booking. Ola Hostel feels simple and straightforward, but not to the extent of being spartan or utilitarian. The set up in my room was basic, but it felt cozy because of the lighting and the plush fleecy blanket provided.

United KingdomNot masses of space for bags in the rooms (under beds and small locker for valuables which could be frustrating. Not the most social, but it depends on who is staying as I met some lovely people to spend the days with!
The hostel is in amongst the main tourist area, and from the minute I arrived the host was very friendly, knew me by name and was very accommodating during my stay. The AC is nice and cold in the rooms, and the bathrooms and common area kept nice and clean. Clean towels daily, drinking water, shampoo and shower gel provided, has a small fridge for drinks in the common area and small cafe attached!

I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel to everyone. It is situated in a peaceful and charming area of Central, with helpful staff. When I booked a mixed dormitory with four guys and was the only girl, they upgraded me to a four-bed room dormitory with all girls, which was extremely thoughtful. Additionally, they offer bike rentals for 10 MYR from check-in to check-out, which I loved.

United KingdomIf you are sensitive to noise and wish to go to bed early the double room we stayed in backed onto the road, where trishaws and their music went past periodically. This wasn't a problem for us, and we found it part of the charm of being in the old town.
Nice relaxed atmosphere. Aircon and fan were very good. Towels, drinking water and toiletries were a nice touch. We got our washing done, this was quick (same day) reasonably priced and even delivered to the room. Very good hostel in a central location
