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.).

GermanyWe stayed at St. Christopher’s Inn for 2 nights for a quick trip in Vienna. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The lounge area and the bar in the hostel was cozy and a great place to meet fellow travelers. Free Wi-Fi was available throughout the property and worked flawlessly. There are social events on most nights like drinking games or other activities with the other people who are staying at the hostel, which were great opportunities to explore and meet new people. We were at an event on a Saturday evening, which organized an member called B. He was great, funny and he explained the gaming rules in a really cool and fun way!! We are definitely coming back :)

GreeceWe had booked a double bed room and we got two single beds instead together. And the mattress was uncomfortable.
It was a decent hostel. The stuff was very helpful and the room was large and clean. I would recommend you not to buy breakfast in advance, as they will propose you there to buy breakfast for 5€ instead of 7€

SwedenBad sides: Even though the transportation is easy, the hostel is far from the city centre. If you do not want to buy ticket, you have to walk for 40 minutes approximately, so I would recommend to think about this while selecting your accomodation. Even though there are places you can put your belongings like a drawer, they do not have lockers, you have to get padlock from the reception for 5 euro if you want to lock your drawer. So I would highly recommend you to bring your own padlock. A middle-sized padlock would be enough. The hostel is located in the Turkish ghetto. Even though Turkish people are generally nice, I would recommend you to be cautious when you are walking alone at night.
Good sides: The hostel is very close to U1 metro station Keplerplatz and tram station. With U1 metro, you can easily go to the city centre in 10 minutes, the metro works frequently. The reception is open 24/7, so there is not time limit for check-in, you can check-in any time after 3 pm. The staff working in the reception was kind and helpful. There are female-only rooms. All of the rooms have their own bathrooms and showers. So, you can use the bathroom and shower without getting out of the room, and you do not have to share it with many different people. The bathroom, room, beds and common areas were clean. The bunk beds have curtains, so you can sleep comfortably.

United KingdomThere was on large lock cage per bed, it was heavy and didn't stay open without being propped which wasn't ideal when taking out multiple things or bigger things. Would have preferred a small locker for valuables (purse/ passport) and shelving for bags
