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.).

AustriaStayed there many times and in the beginning i could not understand the bad reviews until once i got a room in the left side of the building which was very bad. So many steps and no bathroom in the room. It was also super hot during summer and only 1 fan for 8 people. Only one public bathroom in the whole building that was constantly busy. Had to walk 3 floors to the kitchen to use the toilet, which by the way was always dirty. Also no space to keep your food in the fridge

AustraliaThe lack of bathrooms - one toilet and shower & not even on each floor. The toilet should be separate and at least 2 per floor. No bin in bedroom.

AustraliaSeriously needs more fans or AC, every room has ceiling fans but it’s not enough. At night time when everyone is sleeping the air goes very hot and stale. I think this is because doors and windows are closed at night so no air flow. Beds are very squeaky, some beds very bad some beds not so bad.
Value for money is unmatched. Good location, allowed to charge e-bike battery and can lock bike it outside front. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Free washing machines and dryer. Lockers in every room. Quiet at night time. Good showers cleaned properly most rooms have private showers and toilets. Big tv with sofa. Good if you want to watch your team play back home. Plug sockets on every bed.

AustraliaThe drawback is that the quality of the bed is very poor. Every time you move your body, it makes a creaking sound, which seriously affects the quality of your sleep.
The advantage of this youth hostel is that the staff are very helpful

GermanyI was there for NYE in a 8-dorm room. Floor was full of luggage, bed was not so comfortable and some roommates snored loud as hell. I think some people should be more considerate or some form of questions while reserving should be introduced. Secondly, many people entering the hostel at night and not sure if they were staying there. They entered while guests were opening the doors. Maybe a 24h reception would help.
