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.).

SingaporeThe people at the counter weren't too friendly, or maybe that's just the New York thing.
Good clean stay, near the metro. Has a shared kitchen, rooftop lounge and indoor lounge area - common spaces are generally comfortable.

PakistanNot much things to do - good for the short stay. Also, my bed was right in front of Air condition, therefore, I felt a lot of cold during the night. Hotel management needs to place the bed in such a way that it should not be in front of the Air Condition.
The location is excellent - just 6 minutes of walk from the nearest metro station. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful.

ChinaIt would be better if there's a curtain for each bed, so when I turn the light on, it won't bother my roommates, and it would provide more privacy. The bathroom floor was flooding all the time so be careful don't drop your clothes on the floor.
The room is decent, I like that there's a private bathroom and there's a door to the bedroom. So I could shower late at night and won't wake up my roommates. The storage is big enough for a suitcase, which is very helpful. You can leave your luggage at reception before check-in and after check-out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. He even helped me get the luggage upstairs. The view from the rooftop is superb.

United StatesIt looks like they took an extra bed and jammed it into the room to increase their capacity as my bed wasn’t numbered and didn’t have a locker.
Cool place, nice vibe. Didn’t get to hang out in the common areas but they looked nice and inviting.

LithuaniaVery minor things which would make the place much more comfortable * there could be a personal space over the bed and a shelf to put your phone on while you charge it. * also having a shelf in the shower would be a good thing. * clearer zone splitting where you can eat and where you can't.
Very good location, the metro is close and there are a few groceries around.

IrelandWalls are incredibly thin so all the noise from other rooms, hallway, social areas and even outside comes through. If you’re tired enough, it won’t disturb your sleep.
Staff was friendly and helpful, gave lots of local recommendations. We stayed in private room with its own bathroom and everything was perfectly clean. There was one coffee/drink complimentary with the room key slip. Kitchen space could be utilized as required and many board games in social areas around the reception. They also organize various events, definitely should check out if you’re staying in for the day. Location was good, metro station was some 10 min walking distance.

United KingdomThere is no furniture or space in the room to put your belongings on - no shelves or hooks, if you have a top bunk prepare to climb high with your phone or other bits and bobs. The street outside is noisy so we slept with our windows shut. The bathroom and shower are tiny which is fine for a slim person. The shower is literally less than a meter square, the sink is teeny-weeny too. The surfaces in the communal areas are sticky. I mean some bits around the hostel could do with a bit of TLC but overall it’s ok and a good base in NYC.
Location - very close to the subway station. The street itself is a bit dodgy but that’s nothing to do with the hostel. The views from the roof are amazing. Everything was as they described in the listing. Comfortable beds, shower/toilet in the room, good bedding. The kitchen is very good too. Plenty of communal areas and a nice bar downstairs.

United StatesGot there, The ad said twin bed. The lady at the desk said "do you want to sleep on top or bottom" I said "what". Apparently it was a bunk bed for two that fortunately there was room at the bottom. Also, she said I can't be allowed in the future because my ID was a New York. Believe it or not, that stated in the small print when I booked on line. Little inconvenience. Don't think I'll come back again. Such a hassle. Can you picture this nonsense. No discount or anything. Not good. Not good at all.
