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.).

AustriaNo good lights in the room The AC cannot be turned off - it was too cold in the room.
They have a really nice system of the beds. You have a total private space if you get a bed on the side. Lockers in the room with charging inside. Kitchen and Common area was nice. Also the hot pool.

AustraliaSafes should really be fixed in all the rooms, it is an absolute hit and miss, mostly miss as they don't work. I know I know nobody is stealing but my pillow got stolen from my bed so I'd rather not trust with actual valuables.
Wifi is kind of up and down but good most of the time. Staff is fantastic, helpful, and fun people, the main reason I keep going back. The location is brilliant, everything is within walking distance. I recommend booking the 4-bed dorm if you can, any more than that gets too crowded.

United Kingdom- really hard to meet people; no events or activities, no decent common areas - guests only have access to one toilet after 10pm, which is is in the dorm itself. if someone is using it, you have to wait. as i have colitis disease i found this quite anxiety inducing :( there are toilets downstairs near the kitchen but this area is closed at 10pm - dorm rooms were very dark even with all lights switched on - no soap in dorm room bathroom, or one of the downstairs toilets the whole time i was there. ended up buying soap myself for our bathroom. we could have asked at reception but staff should be checking if soap dispensers are empty daily and refilling them (we were there for 3/4 days and these dispensers were empty the whole time)
- really liked how the dorm beds were set up; beds were comfortable, clean, each one had its own socket and light - kitchen was spacious with plenty of equipment (u will need to hire crockery from reception if u don’t have your own, but we brought some so this wasn’t an issue for us) - pool was nice and there is a jacuzzi for chillier days! -

Irelandrooms were so dark, not enough light to be able to see around the room. one of the beds was not made up with dirty bedlinen and rubbish over the floor in that area. once we complained, it was cleaned immediately.
Excellent location. Beds were comfortable & good shower. it was quiet at night, no problems sleeping. pool area was nice & kitchen facilities were good. you had to rent cutlery but you could keep them in your room so you knew they were clean (preferred this over shared cutlery & full deposit returned when checking out). good laundry facilities on site & you could rent towels for 10 AUD (5 returned at check out) receptionists allowed my friend to store her insulin behind reception in the fridge.

GermanyThe bathroom was a bit old, but overall totally ok. Not much too complain.
One of the best hostels I have been to in AUS. The beds were arranged in a smart way, so you still had some privacy. My room had a bathroom attached (inside) and a locker. Also the lobby was very nice. Location was good too, in walking distance to the beach and also restaurants, supermarkets and general shopping was close by. Train stop about 2’ away as well.
