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.).

NetherlandsThe rooms were verrrrryyy small. I stayed in a 4p dorm and there were 3 people with big suitcases and that almost didn't fit haha. I can imagine staying in a room for more people that the room will also be bigger.
I really loved the rooftop with a view over Bondi beach, I think that was the best part about this hostel! It's amazing to start your day there with a morning yoga flow or to have your breakfast on the rooftop!

New ZealandBed was a little small and it was noisy in the hallway but that’s to be expected at a hostel.
Great location and good facilities. Private room was a good size, the bed was a little small. The aircon worked well.

This hostel is right on Bondi beach, you couldn't ask for a better location. Staff are friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are pretty small, but I never had to queue for a sink or shower - so I guess it works for the amount of people.

Thailand- No facility that offers privacy for a bed bunk. E.g. curtains - Not every shower room has a hanger and basket - Too few toilets
- Just a few-second walk to the Bondi beach - Towel service - Clean bedsheets, pillows, and mattress - Free, recurring activities focusing on community building - A+ for accommodating staffs - A++ for a beachfront view of the room, but this kind of room is a minority of the whole building.

GermanyRooms on first floor (4 bedroom) are vibrating from the bar below - parties go until 12am, so no sleep until then if on the first floor. A bit disappointing as smaller dorms usually are for people who prefer piece and pay more for that.
Fab location, very clean in all facilities, helpful staff, many activities to socialize and enjoy Bondi and a huge rooftop

AustraliaOnly 2 showers and toilets for all males on the floor and same for floor below so sometimes there was a queue. Room was right beside the stairs so could hear all the steps in the morning but comfy beds at least.
Location is perfect! Right across from the beach! Loads to do and not too loud at night even with the bars. Staff were amazing and super friendly and nice. Great Ac in the private rooms too.
