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.).

Czech RepublicThe list would be pretty long, from missing hangers or anything to storing your stuff out of the luggage, disgustingly dirty carpet and dust everywhere, no water pressure in the wash basin, so you can not wash your teeth and face properly, to the fact you have to pay 6€ on top to get a towel.
Easy to reach city centre from the hostel.

South AfricaIts a hostel so thats what you can expect. although below what I was hoping for. It is quite expensive for a hostel with very few services. Compared to other hostels at the same price it really is not great. Its Dutch so small corridors and steep stairs are part of the building.

United Arab EmiratesThere was a strange smell in the corridor and room, maybe because there’s no proper ventilation. There should have been a silent sign because guests are just banging the doors everytime. Sheets are clean but theres alot of trash under the bed.
Location is good. The lady receptionist is nice. Comfort room is clean and equipped with toiletries.

TurkeyIt was so expensive. The building itself is very old and it needs to be renewed with everything inside. The stairs are so vertical to climb that you need to pay extra attention in order not to fall down. You are lucky if you can fit into the toilet.
It is good that the property is located in the center of the city.

PortugalThe bed was really good. But I stayed on the upper bed and the stairs were blocked so I had to climb next to the window. What to be honest wasn't really safe.
I really appreciate that they replied super fast. My flight had a delay and they were very kind. About me getting there a little bit later than expected

GeorgiaWhen after a long journey you arrive at a hostel and instead of a decent shower you get some tiny splashes of freezing water coming right out of the wall, you feel quite disappointed and even more tired. The showers weren't clean, and neither were the toilet rooms. The tap in the room didn't work. There weren't any screens on the windows so mosquitos had frequent parties in the room.
I definitely liked the location. The hostel is just a 10-minute walk from the very center of the city. The staff was friendly, and I did appreciate their help during my stay.

ChileThe facilities are very disappointing. Very small everything, and not good. It's fine is somebody goes to Ámsterdam for 2-3 days, does whatever wants to do here, just sleep in the hostel, and then leaves.
The location. Is very close the the main areas like museums and the boats zone. Also the staff was very friendly.

GermanyAccomodation does the bare minimum, so if you're only there to sleep it will do 😁 Bathroom is really small and the shower stall smelled kind of weird. Also if you're planning to leave your luggage before check-in/after check-out keep in mind that they charge 5€ per bag 😧
Good central location, less than 10min to the next metro station and lots of restaurants in the area
