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.).

Poland- ... but the one in the kitchen was leaking water for the entire week and no one cared - there is no common room (just tables next to the kitchen) - luggage leave options paid - 5AUD per day per piece - no common room so you can't sit somewhere with your laptop for example. They have a special room but costs 10AUD per day (which is embarrassing) - 30% or more fridges were damaged during my stay
- friendly staff - cleanliness - good location - big kitchen - swimming pool on the roof - water dispenser...

DenmarkNo soap dispenser in the bathroom or soap provided. There were stickers on the lockers saying there were power outlets in the lockers, but there weren't. there were only power outlets near the floor so, sleeping in the top bunk, I could not charge my smarphone during the night. I think there should always be a power outlet near your bed.
Nice room and cummunal kitchen, big lockers. The location was good.

AustraliaThe AC always turns off automatically at night, I guess they want to save the energy. But it’s annoying me coz I had to wake up and turn it on again. Besides, the AC is really dirty as if they’ve never cleaned it before.
The location is just walking distance from bus stop and train station. They have many facilities in hostel, especially the kitchen. The room and bathrooms are really clean however they don’t clean the AC that often. There are many recycling boxes in the hostel and they’re taken environmental matters seriously. Staffs are nice and friendly and helpful. There are many facilities which broken at that moment but they also fixed them really fast, unlike any other hostels which never repaired their devices and tools.

AustraliaThere was a door leading to the neighbouring room which wasn't a problem, just meant we had to be extra quiet out of respect and we could hear our neighbours through the door even at a low level of conversation so not very private as far as sound goes
Probably the nicest backpackers I have ever stayed in. We had a private room with 2 singles - we had our own private bathroom which is rare for a backpackers and the place was lovely inside. Private rooms seemed to be in a completely different section of the building to the dorms

PolandThe room was really small (4 female dorm). Sockets in the room were only inside of the lockers, which was really not convenient. On my floor, there was just 1 bathroom for girls (with 2 showers).
10min walk to train station. 5min walk to bus stop. Coles 3min walk. Good location. Gorgeous scenery from the terrace. Roof top bar and pool were really cool. They have a mix of activities every evening, and it is easy to connect with people. Staff is really informative and helpful. They provide luggage storage after check-in for free. Laundry service in the building.

AustraliaBeing taller and a little on the heavier side (100kg) the top bunk was not fun getting in and out of, I actually hurt my leg a fair few times having to stretch weirdly. The room I was in also looked like its aircon hadn’t been cleaned in ages which wasn't great to think about while it was running directly in my face. The numbering of the floors is also confusing, with all of the 300 rooms being on floor 1, I found myself going the wrong way on the elevators many times.
It’s pretty well located for anyone wanting decent access to public transport, the place felt very secure and mostly well maintained. The prices are very affordable, and they provide optional toiletries and snacks for reasonable cost. The staff were friendly and accomodating.
