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.).

IrelandKitchen was quite small so you had to choose your moment to use it and eat quickly to get out if others way. The was no lift so it's a workout getting your bags up and down several flights of stairs
The location was really perfect, never more than 10 minutes walk to see anything on the centre and only a few minutes from the skybus stop or hop on/hop off stop. Nice pub and bakery nearby and right near the park where there's a Friday night market. Beds had individual lights but no curtains so didn't really use them. There was good hanging places in the room for your stuff. There was a small lounge but not a hugely social hostel, people seemed to use the lounge to work in

RomaniaThe check-in time was at 2 pm but we arrived earlier as we wanted to leave our luggage until we got access to our room. However, there was no one at the reception until 2 pm so we had to carry the luggage with us and when we came back we had to wait in a queue to check-in.
I really liked the location, the hostel is right in the heart of Hobart

New ZealandTiny, poorly equipped kitchen, no dining room. Lounge at other end of builing, not user friendly. We're used to good communal areas in youth hostels, where you interact with other travellers, this was the worst we've stayed in from this point of view. We also felt the building was unsafe as the fire doors were left chocked open.
Nice room, no problem although noisy as faced the street, especially Sat night. Great handy location. Helpful staff.

United KingdomKitchen tiny for the amount of people in the hostel and also very unclean every time we used it. Laundry facilities quite restrictive only available from 2-8 when most people are out during those hours. Room has no fan or aircon and does get quite hot however, it is too loud to open the window with traffic’s and people shouting outside
Good size private room considering it’s in the centre. Bathrooms clean and big. Felt very secure
