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.).

AustraliaI cant complain for such a expensive city to live in like Melbourne this is very decently priced accommodation. Good for short or medium term stays.
I think it is good backpacker type accommodation for the price paid. I think its value for price in such a very high cost of living city like Melbourne where it would be very rare to get this reasonable price accommodation in such an expensive city like Melbourne.

United StatesThe lack of staff on-site combined with the fact that anyone can enter if they know the door codes made me feel extremely unsafe. The self check-in is very convenient, but without another person there to verify who is entering and exiting the building it becomes a bit scary. For example, when my only other bunkmate, a male, came in at 2am and then immediately ran out and disappeared when he saw me, I couldn't tell if he was a registered guest or an intruder. I was terrified, and then without any staff I was not able to call anyone and make sure that I wasn't overreacting. I ended up staying awake all night because he never came back. From now on I will book only a female dorm.
Very clean, very quiet, no nonsense facilities

SwitzerlandThe kitchen does not have enough kitchenware (2 mugs and 1 glass for 32 people!?!?!? Too few pans and pots and no sharp knife). The rooms are too small for the number of beds. It is very bad there is no one at the reception after 14/15. It is a pity that it is not possible to use its own locker and to pay a cash deposit.
The showers are great!

Czech RepublicBad management. If you want to check in you have to go to nearest restaurant and look for a lady who will check you in. She is always busy and you have to wait long time when she finally check you in. There was always problem to book a room. They randomly thick all beds are occupied when hostel is really empty inside. I think you can't book in the weekend becuase staff is busy in the restaurant. Lady who is checked in People was rude to me, becuase I didnt book a room for Long period but extended my stay and she had to come to hostel check me in. No sign where hostel is and how to find a staff At peak season dorm had only 2 mattress for 6 beds. A bit weird.

ItalyMy recent stay at this hostel was nothing short of a nightmare. Upon arriving at the agreed time of 10 PM, I was met with a room that had no windows and an overwhelming smell of mold and feet. To my dismay, my bed was not prepared; there was only a bare mattress covered in plastic. I attempted to contact the property owner for assistance, but my efforts have been ignored to this day. Forced to make do, I removed the plastic and slept on the mattress using a used blanket provided by another guest, a leftover from someone who had checked out. The bathroom lacked even the basic courtesy of a hook to hang a towel, and the entire facility reeked with no services in sight. This experience was appalling and I would strongly advise against staying here. It was uncomfortable, unwelcoming, and utterly disappointing.

New Zealandstay during the easter week end( 3days). Was dirty every where, kitchen(food, dust,) too little btw one table 3 chairs for all of us, one fridge didn't really works 'cause full af. Only one dirty and wet tea towel for everybody. Restroom (run out toilet papper, the most on the flor) reception area carpet dirty no ones care, rooms (dusty, dirty towel, corn flakes, pizza food caterboard, items under the bed, smell). hours reception are 10 - 4 p.m and 8-11 on ly see someone at 10 around an hour. I heard about short staff or no one supposed to work 'cause was a public holiday. This is hospitality lol. In these cases do not accept guest/backpackers or less than possible rather than increase your profit. See you never.

NetherlandsThe rooms smell and there are no windows to open. The bathrooms and kitchen don’t get cleaned very often. One day there was no one at reception and they didn’t answer the phone. People who booked couldn’t check-in and had to search for an empty bed. You have to walk down a dirty alley to get to the hostel.
The location is good.

AustraliaI stayed for three nights. The floors in the whole place were filthy and not cleaned the whole time I was there. The bathrooms are disgusting and are also not cleaned regularly. No staff on site on a Sunday so blocked toilets no toilet paper and over flowing smelly bins were an issue! The dorms were dirty, as was reception area and kitchen was disgusting. Dead rat in laneway. To get a locker you need $20 cash, good luck getting it back if you need to leave before 11am. No staff onsite and no refund policy. Disgusting place.

There’s a great vibe about this place. Located in a Laneway, the hostel is away from the noise and traffic. It’s right in the central part of St Kilda, with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars. The beach is about a 5 minute walk. Would highly recommend this place if you’re looking to stay in a excellent location and not spend much for it.

But I spent my 1st day without sleep and left the premises. Still They didn’t contact me. Very bad bad customer care service. Really. I’m so disappointed about this unmanaged premises.
