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.).

ThailandI prefer more peaceful after midnight as well as the toilet was a bit messy during my stay. The room is worth the value of what I paid for, even though with the little musty smell was fine. I would recommend for those who mostly spend time outside.
The location is superb, no longer than 5 mins walk from the station also the bus stop. It's closed to the Woolies, Hungry Jacks and a bunch of cool cafe. Take no longer than 30mins to the city. The room is good enough.

CanadaWould have been helpful to have a lift but luckily only 2 floors so not a big deal. I wish the rooms had air conditioning, there was a fan in my room but it only reached the bottom 2 bunks.
Staff was very friendly and I loved how each day had a different event

GermanyThe showers weren't the best, the kitchen is dmall and I saw a couple of bugs there.
This is an ok hostel. The beds were quite good and everyone in the room had their own socket (I stayed in a 4-person female dorm). Quite noisy though, but I don't know if it's always the same.

AustraliaThe room had some smell in the carpet, it has a window for ventilation but no air conditioning or fan, luckily for us it was rainy days, the room smelled strange
Availability on reservation, the quality of the accommodation is according to the price. The staff works hard on cleaning, but the hostel needs a deep cleaning of the carpets because of the smell or perhaps replacing the floors with another material or just remove it.

AustraliaThe rooms have a weird smell, like as it has never been ventilated. Sometimes the tables at the common area were dirty and they don’t clean as often as they should considering the amount of people that is staying at the hostel.
I liked that the rooms are of only 4 people and the kitchen space is big, so you can always cook for yourself even if there’s other people too

United KingdomThe beds in the dorms were particularly uncomfortable. The mattress was so thin that when I sat up I could feel the bed frame. Lots of noise from the street and the dorms were pretty hot. They also completely shut the kitchen before 9am one morning without warning for several hours to clean, preventing anyone from getting to their food. The kitchen was so small that there wasn't space to cook. It seemed like a sociable hostel but most people were around 18 and had been there a while so we found it difficult to socialise (not the hostels fault).
Nice outdoor courtyard and roof as well as indoor social area. The bathrooms etc were always clean. Free gym pass was great. They put on events most nights.

CanadaI used the prepayment option to pay for the room on booking.com. The receptionist claimed that she didn’t see any proof of this and demanded me to pay. I paid again confused. Later on I found out that I paid twice for one night. Not cool.
The people at the hostel were nice. The common room was available 24/7 which is something some hostels don’t have.
