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.).

UruguayI would put maybe a desk to place the towel and other things on the toilet, however, the rest, is excellent.
EXTREMELY RECOMMENDABLE HOSTEL. I ARRIVED WITH A FRIEND & we stay during a whole week which I would like to stay more in reality. The location is excellent, some squares to Darling Harbour, fantastic. The free breakfast & dinner are excellent. The toilets too, there are very good. The bedroom is always quiet, no sound really & the curtains are awesome, the best part of the bedroom!! Recommendable for the price, good choice for me & my friend.

United StatesA little too crowded for the sizes of the room per beds, could be an emergency hazard situation. Noisy when doors open and closes for usage of bathroom, at least room I was in. Building is old and rundown (needs major investment for fixing)
Great location, great staff, good food, breakfast & dinners, good pricing . Above all great place would be perfect with huge rehab and remodeling.

United KingdomThe rooms are a little small. There is no door to the part before the bathroom, which can be noisy in the night.
Central location just over the bridge from darling harbour. The staff were friendly and make us aware of the free breakfast and dinner.

United KingdomIt would be great if each bed could have a reading light! It was a bit tricky trying to sort myself out using my phone as a light.
Staff really care about their guests and make an effort to sort out issues asap. Free breakfast and dinner every day was perfect, especially considering how affordable the beds are. The curtains on the beds allow for full privacy.

AustraliaThere is an air-conditioner in the room that causes vibrations to the bed I was staying in. This makes it incredibly difficult to fall asleep when it is on.
I really liked privacy curtains. I think every hostel should have them. I could immerse myself in my own world without worrying about other peoples prying eyes.

BrazilJust be careful if you have a lot of luggage, because you don't have a lift just stairs. Don't have toilets on the ground floor.
The location is perfect, between Darling Harbor and Fisher Market, if you want you can walk for approximately 30 minutes to Circular Quay, Opera, the Rocks or 10 minutes to the Ferry station. A plus is the free breakfast.
