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.).

AustraliaUnfortunately, the rooms and bathrooms were filthy from other guests staying in my dorm. What annoys me is when you stay in these rooms, the people just use the excuse that what backpackers do.Thank God there are backpacker hostels that do not put up with these bad Hygiene levels and dirty guests are pulled into line.I love YHA I wait for the new renovations of this Hostel.
Thankyou Alex once again, you are very professional in your chosen field of hospitality, and great at reception every time I have checked into this hostel and you are truly an asset to this hostel.keep smiling and stay strong and positive.

AustraliaThe bathrooms are a little outdated but maintained well and the hallways could use a new coat of paint (it just made the inside seem really dark) We also noticed the internal latch doesn’t work, however when we spoke to the staff they were very friendly and explained that the latches are outdated and it relies on the key card system which only the assigned guests or staff can access the room which was reliving, they were very clear and explained it well Myself and my friend stayed in a private room with ensuite and noticed it gets quiet cold at night (end of April) in the room and we had to rug up with extra jumpers under the blankets, we couldn’t find a thermostat if there was one (unsure if there was heating in the room)
Honestly the property is kept clean and it’s in a great location, staff a friendly and guests are also nice to talk to

IranThe breakfast offered was not perfect, it could have been better
It is a large residence with many rooms and floors, it is perfect for those who want to travel by public transportation and because it is located next to the Central Station. There is a very large floor for the kitchen and common area which is suitable. General cleanliness is also good and acceptable

Australia* lack of accurate communication for car parking. a unique verbal password given to each guest for the intercom at the entry is such an easy fix. * inflexibility to deal with unique situations that face a disabled guest in urgent need of a toilet on arrival . . . told "please wait in line and then I'll make you a key card for the lift." * all situations resolved with effort on the guest's initiative. * nobody seems to know or will take responsibility to find out. * slow staff procedures focussed on booking people in at the front desk. there's no point to checking in or out online if it doesn't save you time and you're told to please wait in line.
quiet room / modern / location / Incafe great for meals / overnight car parking on-site in Sydney / great to be able to transport a disabled guest direct from YHA Central.
