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.).

AustraliaThe clean up of the grounds needs to be improved. I found sharps behind the buildings and also tiny zip lock bags with remnants of white powder in them. Not a good thing to come across when one is exploring the grounds, particularly when children are visitors.
I liked that the reception area was open sensible hours. The ability to leave luggage for a time was very much appreciated. The reception staff were very friendly welcoming and helpful. I liked the friendly safe atmosphere. The kitchen is well equipped.

AustraliaThey played a movie both nights I stayed there. On the second night the sound was very loud. Also it takes a very long time for the hot water to come on in the bathrooms.
It’s very affordable accommodation and in a good location. The room had a heater, which is excellent on a cold winter night.

AustraliaI saw an aboriginal mother with two young children asking for accommodation be turned away. She was clearly desperate and needed somewhere to stay with her children. She was polite. She was told there was nothing available. I knew this wasn't true. At the same time a man came up and asked if there were rooms and he was told yes. I understand why the lady may have been turned away but it was wrong. She needed help and more should have been done to help her.
Loved that the room was heated. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

AustraliaThe hostel was very busy and so poor staff seemed quite overworked to be able to give full attention, but they were adequately friendly. One of the toilet facilities was out of order as were some laundry equipment. There wasn't a power point next to each bed in the shared dorm I stayed in.
Great location, clean rooms and regular movie nights.

AustraliaThe concept of the daily movie night is good, but if you want an early night, it'll be quite loud to try and sleep through, especially if your room is near the projector
Individual lights for each bunk. There's no centre room light that will blind you or wake up if someone comes in the middle of the night.

AustraliaSome of the other guests were very loud for a weeknight and were running up and down the corridors yelling at each other (even tried coming into our room...).
The staff here were so so friendly and helpful! They were both incredibly accommodating and even helped us arrange a lift to the airport the next day with another guest at the hostel. The facilities were fantastic and very clean.

AustraliaThe lighting in the room was either too bright or too dim and the switches weren't convenient. The heating wasn't turned on at night so it was a little chilly but bearable.
The location was perfect, right in the city and a short walk to cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and other shops. The amenities at YHA was clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful with travel recommendations.
