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.).

GermanyNothing mayor. Perhaps one of the upstairs showers could use a repair/renovation. Aside from that everything is fine.
The host is very nice. CheckIn is fast. For a hostel it is really cool. The location is perfect. Short walk to restaurants, supermarket, bakery, skybus stop and port. Rooms and Wifi are fine. Enough parking spaces right next to the hostel. We like to stay here and are going to do that again when we return to Tasmania.

AustraliaI would have loved flyscreens. I know! Fussy me, but did get eaten!
VERY CLEAN and pleasant surroundings. Easy walk to hipster things if you have money to spend eating and drinking. Outrageously expensive real estate in the area, cool, trendy consumables. Kind of surprised that a backpackers would be tolerated by locals. Didn't meet anyone in the hostel who could have afforded to eat in the area but nice change to not always stay in backpackers that are usually in back alleys away from the la ded da people. I'm guessing that's also why it is meticulously maintained also. Everyone was very polite and quiet after 10 or so. Not the usual weed smoking guitar playing, bongos kind of place. While I love that vibe too- sometimes it's time for a good sleep!

GermanyIt's a bit dirty if you look closer at some corners or behind the beds. That would be the only downside if I had to name one.
Overall a great hostel. Quite spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, plenty of space in the kitchen and several fridges available. 15 min walk to the bus stop (airport transfer), 15 min walk to the city center. I had a good time over there. While doing the Three Capes Track they stored a bag for me free of charge. Washing machine and dryer are also available.

AustraliaBathrooms and toilets were quite old and the floor would get wet easily from a leak in the shower screen, but to be expected and still usable.
Great location in Battery Point, friendly owners and guests. Great kitchen space and the house was equipped with lots of extra things like games, bike rental, umbrellas etc.

GermanyNot the owners fault, but I wish people would be more considerate with the noise. It’s an old house and they didn’t take an effort to walk a little quieter. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
Great location, beautiful house and clean dorms. Large kitchen. Perfect for 1 or 2 nights to explore Hobart. Good coffee place just around the corner.
