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.).

AustraliaMaybe a couple of chairs in the room, the lounge area was available, however with a young family it wasn't always easy to access when the kids where in bed, a couple of chairs in the room would have made it more comfortable for the adults of an evening
Excellent, good value for money, great location, family friendly

AustraliaCause we stay at room 001 which is the first room next to the stair. The room's soundproof was that good enough to cover all the noise outside. Could be improved if possible. Except that, all the experience is great.
Location is fantastic. You can see the opera house without any block. The room is clean with ensuit bathroom. Amenities are well organized. 24/7 reception, coffee in the morning, beer at roof top. Will stay again when I visit Sydney

SloveniaNo towels and be ready for stairs when reaching the hostel
I loved the location of this hostel. It's a 10 minute walk from the train station and the train runs from the airport direct. Rooms are big for hostel standards and beds are very comfortable. The roof terace was cool and the facilities were great. What i didnt expect was the building is a giant museum on top of some historical landmark. Great price, great location and staff was amazing. Checking-in at 23:00 was no problem

AustraliaBathrooms could have been cleaner but were definitely still good to use. Wasn't too bothered by it as the price was so reasonable and the rest was great,
The location was absolutely amazing especially for such a great price. I was blown away, It only took minutes to walk to circular quay. Staff and other customers were all super friendly and made for a very enjoyable experience.

This is a fabulous find and so well located in the city with excellent views of the bridge and opera house from the roof top garden. Everything you need for a perfect stay - just remember your toiletries. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay again from someone celebrating 60 this year.

United KingdomUnfortunately during my latest stay here I didn't have the best room mate. The bathroom was constantly dirty and as it's en suite no one came in to clean. This was down to one individual
A dependable hostel with an en suite in the 4 bed dorm. Good location. Nice kitchen that is well stocked.

AustraliaNothing at all.... you may want to think about selling locks at the check in counter.
The location, staff, facilities and view were all absolutely amazing. The food downstairs & bar upstairs was not only excellent but a wonderful bonus. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Sydney and advise all of our friends to do the same. Thank you very much.

United StatesI wish we knew there was coffee in the room. We didn't see it until we left.
Great location since it's near a lot of the iconic sites. The rooftop lounge was really nice. We didn't get the breakfast so I can't comment on it except that we did see the offerings and it didn't look impressive for $14.
