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.).

New ZealandThe only obvious downside is that they charge for linen, which is mandatory and not overly obvious when booking. This should be in the base price, and discounted if you bring your own linen.
Comfortable bunks, with a lot of height, a light, shelf, and power. Modern, comfortable room. Bathrooms are external from the room, some prefer that, some don't. Easy check in, and they allowed me to check in at 10am. Close to botanical garden and park, 10 minute tram to city centre available from right outside. Some food and shops around.

IrelandThe bed linen wasn't included in the price and was the only hostel that I stayed in where this was this case (it is mentioned in the booking page though).
Staff was very helpful and always pleasant and smiling! The hostel was very clean and had a chilled vibe with really nice Scandinavian style interior design, such as dim lighting, nice chairs and comfy furniture and lots of plants! Toilets were plentiful on each floor. The kitchen has two hobs and wasn't too busy. The trams and the park are just across the road from the hostel.

ItalyThe bed linen was not included in the price and it was an extra cost that I was not expecting when made a reservation.
I stayed here for one night and had a pleasant experience. The place was very clean and welcoming, and the self check-in process was extremely easy. I've specifically requested the lower bed, witch I was happy to find it on my arrival. The bed was comfortable and the rooms have lockers but you need to bring your own padlock. Really good Internet speed too, over 100Mbp download on Wi-Fi. The breakfast buffet was good, though it wasn't included in the price and came with an extra charge of 115 SEK per person. The rooms are well-arranged, and while the showers and bathrooms are in the common areas, they are separated, which is a great feature. However, there was a Hidden Cost I hadn't noticed during booking – bed linens and towels aren't provided unless you pay extra or bring your own, so keep that in mind, it's 75 SEK per person. I also tried contacting the hotel via email and booking messages two weeks prior my arrival, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive any response. The reception is only open until noon (midday), which might explain the lack of communication. Overall, I was satisfied with the accommodation. The common spaces are nicely furnished, and I would recommend it despite the few small issues.

PolandThe communication regarding sheets and towels could have been a bit more visible from the start/booking moment. The kitchen needs new pans and pots, I think a sponge in addition to a brush would be good.
I liked that the rooms were really quiet despite the fact that the hotel is located near a busy street, the windows really are sound proof. The bathrooms were fresh and clean.

FranceI didn't realise until after I had booked that it was an extra 750 SEK for the hire of bed linen. Most other people I met there were similarly surprised. (One girl had, but hadn't come across the need to use it anywhere else). I hostel all ver Europe and only remember having to bring my wn sheet sleeping bag to hostels in the UK in the 1970s/80s when bedlinen generally wasn't provided in those days!) I would have booked elsewhere if I had realised. It is the first time I have come across this in Sweden. I question it as a good idea. I have stayed in hostels before where even where bed linen is included, lazy (guys) have not bothered using the sheets (!). More importantly however, I wonder whether anyone has thought how hygienic it is having guests use their own sheets.
The hostel was clean, and it was easy to find and check in. There was a good kitchen and lounge/breakfast room. The bed was comfortable, and the shared bathroom arrangements were good.

SwedenThe top bunk had no edge to reduce likelihood of falling out, and this also made it quite tricky to climb up/down. I would have liked one more toilet available as sometimes they were all in use.
The location was excellent, and rooms were quiet. Beds all had a dimmable light, and fans were available. There was a space to sit, and kitchen facilities available so very convenient.

IrelandThere is basically no one working at the hotel most of the time. You need a code that is sent to your phone to get in and to retrieve your key from a little locker. If you find yourself locked out of your room without your key or phone, you are screwed (and this happened to me, I had to wait for another guest to arrive and borrow there phone to call an emergency number). Another older women got stuck out the front of the hotel as she never got the code texted to her to check in. Also be aware!! Bedding is not included and you have to pay for it if you didn't bring your own, which I don't think was advertised clearly enough.
Wonderful location, right next to an amazing park and just down the road from Haga. Comfy rooms plus beds have privacy curtains. Great kitchen. An elevator between floors, which is always appreciated with a big bag.

United KingdomCharging for the use of linen, unless you bring your own. Steep fine to pay if you don't use the linen.. First time I get charged for linen, and I've been to over a 100 hostels. Question is: Who travels with linen? Why not just raising the room price? Spoiled the experience for me as it seems very unnecessary.
Convenient location, next to a big park in a quite safe neighbourhood. Good and varied breakfast. Good facilities, cozy and nicely decorated, wee terrace to chill.
