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.).

United StatesThe check-in time frame is small. I arrived after reception was closed (around 5pm) and was having trouble with the self check in process. There is a sign with a phone number to call, but nobody answered after several rings. Luckily, I was able to sort everything out with booking.com. Otherwise, I would have literally been locked out of the building. I never received a call back from the hostel. Overall, it was a good experience, but there should be a way to get in contact with the hostel.
The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of space in the common areas. I was nervous to stay because there were many bad reviews. However, I didn't find any major issues with the physical aspect of the hostel.

AustraliaKitchen tables and benches were always dirty, sinks always full of filthy crockery & cutlery. Management need to step up and take an active involvement. Staff can only do so much. Lazy guests take advantage of situations like this when they can get away with it and nothing is done.

PolandEverything when you left your room. Hostel is really big so there are a loooot of people, even off season. Only one kitchen for so much people is a minus. It was not a cozy hostel, the common areas were quite messy and old. People were loud and partying after 22.
The rooms were okey! Beds comfortable, lockers, everything new. Rooms quite small if they are full.

AustraliaThis place is great location. But the staff attitude was not good…I used a washing machine and dryer and needed to book for using it then they gave to me a laundry room’s key. Also I needed to pay deposit for the key ($20) but it was not only for the key. It was including laundry fee too($8/ hour). I’ve never heard that when I went to the reception. He just said you need to pay deposit for the key. Then when I finished my washing I returned the key to reception then I asked him that refund the deposit. But he said you used for your laundry almost 3 hours so you can’t receive your deposit. I don’t have any proof of it so I couldn’t say anything to this reception guy. So I would say when you use the washing machine please choose quick mode and finish everything in 1 hour.
