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.).

AustraliaIt's very basic living as it is an old and dated backpackers hostel. It's very crowded with a full house staying there overnight and having to share the bathrooms together.
It's located in a great spot right in the heart of Adelaide within walking distance of shops and public transport. If you are driving then there is a free private locked car park for you on arrival by the host. I believe it's good value for money.

AustraliaThe tight squeeze but considering the location, that’s expected
James was funny & easy going. And it reminded me of backpacking through India, Nepal & Europe nearly 30 years ago. And street parking poor front was great. Large showers are great.

AustriaDid not enjoy the dorm itself. It was packed with stuff from long term residents, hard to find a place to put my backpack. Couldnt find a power outlet. Mattress was bad, could feel every spring and the pillow seemed old and outworn. So, you get what you pay for. If you are on a tight budget i would still recommend
I liked the common area, there is many sofas and tables. Kitchen looked good as well. The manager is lovely and caring and so were the guests. Very respectful and quiet, it is a small hostel and felt like a safe environment. It is probably the cheapest hostel i found on my 1.5 year australia trip

Australia‘Free parking’ was a bit tricky having to liaise with other guests to move cars around. Whole place could do with a good spring clean.
Convenient location, close walking distance to great cafes, pubs and parks. Staff were extremely helpful. Kitchen facilities were substantial.

AustraliaHard to call when I need to ask important thing. Also the location is not right in the centre so I have to walk a bit far to many places I wanted to see.
I don't know if there's a breakfast so I brought my own sandwich but could have a tea from the hostel. I like the price is affordable & the owner is helpful to give some informations I need.

AustraliaI would have liked somewhere to put my bag, and a clear outlet to charge my phone. I was last person to arrive in my dorm and I was unsure of what belonged to other guests and what was free to use.
So friendly and welcoming, happy travellers staying there and interacting with each other happily. Excellent location and the kitchen is amazing, very homely.
