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.).

AustraliaNot enough powerpoints/plugs in rooms for guests; no lamps only the main lights; parking situation while free is super limited and tight.
Great location, decent size dorm rooms, easy check in and out procedure. I found the beds really comfy but they are on the firmer side which may not be to everybody's liking.

AustraliaAlthough it was easiy-ish to find car park off the street, the way the ad is advertised as free parking it doesnt specify it only has 3-6 car spots so this was a little disappointing.
Staff extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. Location was really good. Facilities for short and long stay are really good. good backpackers vibe!

New ZealandThe water pipes made really weird loud noises, sometimes the shower leaked (sometimes it didn't, it was a bit random). There was only one power inlet in a corner of the room (for 6 pax) which was a bit annoying. The private bathroom didn't have soap or towels to wash/dry your hands, that would have been nice. The kitchen closed very early. It said there was parking available but there were only 3 spots and they were taken. Parking outside is free but is 3P so you have to move your car every three hours!
Its quite close to the beach. The receptionist is a sweetheart, super helpful.

FranceThe bathroom door in my room didn't close properly (neither locks anymore) and tends to open by itself so that's uncomfortable when you're the only female in the dorm, especially cause the toilet was in front of that door.. (The other common bathroom was closed every night) The bunk beds are really shaky, if one or the other person moves even a bit, the whole bed is shaking a lot so I couldn't sleep well cause my roommate was moving quite a lot. Also there was one missing bar on the bed ladder so the one on the top bed had to jump loudly to climb out of the bed, not convenient at all, needs to be fixed The room rate was a bit expensive because it was a long weekend with a bank holiday
friendly atmosphere, easy to socialize Bathroom in the bedroom Good kitchen Not too crowded Helpful and friendly staff In front of the tram stop Nice outside area with swimming pool, ping-pong table, pool table, basketball net and volleyball court

AustraliaMake sure u place the bunk bed the righr way in the room for example having the steps of the bunk bed not facing the wall but the centre of the room . It was dangerous to have the steps and the edge of the above bed placed against the wall and not facing the centre of the room. Shower needs to be fixed. Maintenace for the room would be a gd thing to do . I didnt like the fact that in a long weekend u have a lot of restrictions and pressure resulting fron the surrounding building aboit the noise at night in an early time when everyone must have the right to be partying and having a gd time ..
I like the activities u have got despite the fact that they r not great and would be nicer to renew or fix them up such as the basket ball and the pingpong..

AustraliaContinental breakfast provided was lacking coffee mugs. Kitchen poorly equipped. All mugs had been taken to rooms by long term guests. Each day at breakfast there were no coffee mugs. Swimming pool was small and poky looking but fortunately hostel is located very close to the beautiful beach.
Staff cool, friendly and helpful. Well located close to Broadbeach and on the tram line. Some distance from the partying noise of Surfers Paradise. Comfortable spacious ensuite dorms. I was on the GC for Broadbeach blues festival and was very happy with the convenient location and good value of the hostel.
