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.).

United StatesI couldn't believe that this place did not provide ANY towels, including rental. My only option was to buy, which I thought was a little extreme, even for a hostel. I understand that it is Sydney, but the price was extremely steep for a hostel, which is another reason why having no towels provided was surprising.
The room was kept clean, and the staff would actually make the bed for new comers, though it was a little difficult to tell which ones were actually open because the blankets are scrunched. The breakfast and having multiple places to hangout made it easy for me to work/ use wifi as well.

TaiwanI always cannot find my bag in fridge because there are too many bags.
There is a lift which helps me a lot for luggage and when I was tired. Amazing reception members,especially the Italian guy, show the profession to deal all patiently with smiling. Location is good you can go anywhere by walking in 15-20min. They hold different activities everyday. And there is a good kitchen that you can cook.

United StatesOnly USB-A port at the bedside is a minor inconvenience, wished it was an outlet since all my cables were USB-C. door was quite loud (slam) when shutting if the guest just left the room without holding it. Woke me up a couple times at night.
Overall pretty good, nice lounge and kitchen, room was decent lockers were convenient.

The room was comfortable and clean, it was walking distance to a train that we took to get into the city. The breakfast spread was decent with cereal, bread, spreads, and tea/coffee.

United KingdomIt was very busy and the common areas didn’t feel big enough to accommodate that many people, especially the kitchen, particularly at breakfast time. More bathroom facilities would also have been good as I had to wait some times to shower and use the toilets.
It felt clean, the room was relatively spacious and there was plenty of locker storage space. I had lovely people in my room too which was lucky!

ColombiaLittle difficult to find an open convenience store close by if you get hungry very late. The phone access key is a bit annoying especially if you are all day walking then your phone dies... That's it
Perfect place for the young crowd and to get to talk and meet people easily. The free breakfast was actually good and the living room was really cool space to chill. Location was really good next to beautiful parks. The receptionist I forgot the french girl name she was playing reguetón and that was REALLY cool

NetherlandsThe breakfast was really early (before 9.30), and the kitchen was kind of crowded all the time. Lots of people on whv, so if you are also this might be a great place for you, otherwise made it a bit difficult to find other travellers.
Super clean hostel, very spacious rooms and nice level of privacy with the curtains around the bed. The activities (Coogee to Bondi walk) were great.

United Kingdom- not enough bathrooms and showers on floor 3, often had to try other floors. - bathrooms cleaned and shut at odd times (usually when everyone getting ready to go out for the day), causing more congestion - breakfast ok (cereals and bread, no fruit) - toilets need air fresheners
Stayed with my mum for 2 nights in March in a private room. - location excellent for CBD, Circular Quay and Botanic Gardens - staff helpful and friendly - spacious and clean room

ItalyAt first they gave me a room in which the door’s lock was not working. I asked for a change and a person from the staff replied aggressively and made me went through an uncomfortable moment when it’s not my fault that the door was not working properly. I agreed on going to a room with more people and they left the door open anyway. So, it was the same.
The place is very well located, the main areas are cleaned and very well organized. They make activities everyday which is a plus. The bed was comfortable.
