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.).

SerbiaToilets were disappointing, hard to get warm water, takes too long, not too clean, and everything is so small. Also room is small, 4 of us shared a small room, 2 bunk beds, 1 sink and space for like few shoes on the floor. Slept next to the door, felt some wind, I was also catching some flu at the time, so everything was extra annoying to me at the time, I think heating didn't work as well at the time.
I gave them passable, since it is what you pay is what you get. I didn't pay too much for 1 night stay, so that was all I needed at the time. Good location for sure. I think girl from the staff looked very nice.

United KingdomThere was no hot water for the shower and tap. It was freezing cold and using extremely cold water at that time was the worst experience. I stayed there for two days and it was the same for both days. Also, only two showers were in operation for the entire hostel. So, had to be in the queue for taking shower.
The location was decent as per the price. Also, the staff at the counter was friendly and helped to share things to do in Amsterdam.

NetherlandsI didn't like the fact that between 15 and 17 December I was awake on the streets of Amsterdam after a employee from them told me to make the booking. And after I done the booking she told me that I can't stay there anymore. And because of that mistake I ended on the streets. I told this in a email to her employer but they not even tried to apologize to me. That's way I'm doing this review now. It's not normal to behave like this in the hospitality business.
The Italian girl and the Brazilian/Portuguese boy. They are how it supported to be a hostel receptionist. Congratulations!

NetherlandsThe door was difficult to open. My second night when I arrived, there was another guest in my bed. I didn't see her until i climbed up since i wasn't able to turn the lights on so as not to disturb people. I ended up sleeping on someone else's bed and dirty sheets because nobody answered at the reception. In fact they turned the phone off as I was calling
Friendly staff, flexible. I was able to check in late after I finished work

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.
