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.).

AustraliaThe beds didn’t have numbers, so I had to choose a bed that was free. After a couple of nights the bed i had been sleeping in was taken by someone else because the cleaner changed the sheets thinking that no one was occupying that bed. My personal towel was thrown away by the cleaner too. I don’t blame the cleaners as I it’s not their fault but rather the owner’s of the hostel limited understanding of the confusion created by not having the beds assigned to the guests.
The room was clean and so were the toilets and showers. You have lockers in the room to keep your stuff safe.

AustraliaIt would have been great to have water fountains on each level that has both hot and cold water to fill water bottles/make tea. The curtains around the bed just needed to be slightly wider to give proper privacy. I got woken up on the first night by street sweepers and trucks as we had the window open at night. Nothing to do about that since it’s on the main road but closing windows and curtains helps!
Free breakfast, adjoining cafe, convenient location and the lounge with Netflix was great! The bed lights with USB ports and shower gel provisions were a nice bonus.

CroatiaSituated in an admirable inner-city location opposite The Domain, this iconic yet affordable heritage building is within walking distance (20-25 minutes) to the world-renowned Sydney Opera House through the Botanic Gardens. I had a great time staying here; I especially loved socialising with other fairly outgoing international guests during breakfast and chilling out in the common areas.

ChileMost of the problems from the hostal are related to people: There are only 2 workers in the entire building who know about customer face-to-face service. The rest are just young people working to stay there, and I don't blame them, but empathy and class are above anything. About the residents, expect to be alone, or to find someone from your country or someone who can cover your back, because there is a lot of closed groups in there. Anna, ¡thanks for your empathy and nice vibe!
Good breakfast, a decent space in the dining area, comfortable spaces and nice bathroom/shower service. Talking about comfort, it is pretty fine for staying, and the fact that the reception works 24/7, it's excellent for people who does not understand how everything works. Beds are comfortable, and the lockers are bigger than the ones from other hostels. They have some daily activities, which are interesting. Wifi falls down ocassionally, but at least it works, specially in the ground and 1st floor.

United KingdomAt first I didn't like the fact your phone was your room key and you have to download an app to do things like get into your room and do your laundry. After getting used to it, I found it easy enough to use but my phone doesn't do QR code which made it difficult for me
Very helpful staff and people staying here are easy to get along with. I do wish I stayed here longer than 1 night, it genuinely was a good hostel

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.

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.
