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.).

BelgiumCan't really complain much, only that comparing to other places, the price is slightly on the higher side but then again we had a suite for ourselves.
Very nice hostel right in the middle of Lagos. Very friendly staff and welcoming feeling. Our room was great, very clean and tidy. The hostel organises many nice activities so it's easy to interact and have fun!

SloveniaIt s designed to party, mingle, for younger people who really don t care much about getting some sleep. There are no curtains on the beds, people come from parties/go to parties and make a lot of noise during late evenings and nights. So if you are looking for a quiter type of holiday, this is not the place for you. The storage box is horrible. Hard to open and noisy.
The staff was amazing. Very professional and problem solving attitude. For a pretty big hostel is also kept very clean. If I was looking for getting to know new people amd party, this place is just the right decision for you. There is something going on every day that helps bond guests together. The vibe of the hostel is very playful, fun.

United StatesSocial hostel w/daily evening activities (some free & some paid). I took part in the pub crawl, a rooftop dinner w/music and paid for a massage. The rooftop pool & the view were the best part (also, the pool was immaculately clean :). Modern facilities w a large kitchen/lounge area & breakfast included. A few of the 6-bed rooms shared a terrace on an upper floor w/an amazing view of Lagos (and the night sky :). I stayed in an 8-bed, but my roommates were pretty quiet -- the AC was strong when I stayed in early October (which I liked :), but the reception also provided duvets if you were cold. Centrally located w/in walking distance to restaurants & bars. Friendly, helpful, upbeat reception staff. A fun stay and I met lots of other solo travelers.

United KingdomOnly downside I can think of was they messed up my booking, although I booked for 4 nights in 1 dorm they informed me than after 1 night I would have to check out and check back in again into another. The other dorm was right across from my old one though so it was only a minor inconvenience
I stayed here back in September and it was great! The staff was very friendly and organised lots of events so there was always a chance to meet people. The rooms were very clean and the breakfast was really nice. Slightly more pricey than other hostels but worth the extra money in my opinion

United KingdomAs a person who also works as a receptionist, I wasn't impressed one of the receptionists' attitude.She was really not helpful or supportive.I know this is "just" a hostel but please, work on the communication! The ladder of swimming pool was broken.
When I saw the picture about the hostel and the view, I knew I wanna come here.I was right because the roof terrace with the swimming pool is def the best part of the place. 🌊 The room and the attached terrace were also really nice. The breakfast was great,however they should offer not just white bread....but the fresh,homemade pancake is amazing! Don't skip it! ;) One of the receptionist was really helpfuland kind.I forgot her name but she is German and also lived in Bali... (if this helps).Please, appreciate her great and helpful attitude!

GermanyStorage places under the bed very hard to open and loud, no curtains in front of the bed = nearly no privacy, in my room with 8 people only 1 window/glass door for fresh air, air conditioning too strong (but you could ask for extra blankets or ask to turn it off, so fine), can be considered as a party hostel with pub crawls every night (can also be positive, depending on the view) which is why people sometimes came late and woke you up
A lot of activities planned by the hostel, easy to get in contact with other people, nice location, staff very kind and nice, breakfast included, snack machines, balcony with an amazing view, the pool on the top, comfortable bed, possibility to store your own food

CanadaA few things to mention that could improve for a better experience: Breakfast: only slices of bread, cheese and ham, every day. Private rooms: overall all doors in the hostel need to be shut hard, so we barely slept during our trip as doors will be slamming all night. Also, the walls are extremely thin, to the point that we can hear people cough in other rooms.
Overall, this hostel was amazing. The staff are super nice, location is amazing and the price was great.

NorwayThe rooms are really cold, especially at night. They said they couldn’t turn down the AC, but they offered blankets so that helped a bit.
This was my first time staying at a hostel, and my experience here was amazing! The facility was clean and the room was quiet and spacious considering there’s 8 people sleeping there. Mostly young people stay there, and the hostel provides several activities like bbq, pub crawls, karaoke and bingo night hosted by an awesome guy! (Follow the flower).

DenmarkI hated my bunk bed. It hurt my feet to climb on my bunk bed. Bed on itself was comfortable, but staying up was painful and uncomfortable. I didn’t have such easy access to have place where to put my things, since the bed was quite high even for a tall person like me. Also, I disliked how hard it was to open the locker closet under the bed. Opening it was hard and noisy. I didn’t like showers. There is some shelf missing to put the toiletry bag on. I had to put it on the dirty wet floor and it was a bit nasty. Lastly, the breakfast. I missed healthier options. Nothing complex. Some eggs, yogurt, more fruits, better quality bread or musli/plain oats would solve it.
I really liked my stay. I’m not a regular hostel traveler, but I must say, that stay in this hostel motivates me to stay in hostels more. Nicely designed for socializing. Beautiful common area, shared balconies. Nice tour options, and activities. Amazing friendly staff.
