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.).

AustraliaShower never got hot, just lukewarm. Walls and ceiling very thin - you could hear every footstep made upstairs and whenever people were chatting outside. But as there's not too many people staying in the units it was never unbearable.
The new solo units are great. Spacious with everything you need, and anything not in the unit you can find in the main building. Staff were lovely and helpful. Location was perfect. Bed was comfy and I appreciated the heater.

United KingdomRooms had too many beds for their size. Beds were very wobbly and would rattle no end when climbing in. You could see there was a lot of long term guests as the kitchen was overflowing with peoples groceries.

FinlandI spent a total of 2 nights while I stayed in Hobart. First night in a room of 10 downstairs and second time in a room of 4 upstairs. Downstairs you could hear every time someone flushed the toilet or moved upstairs. The upstairs room was very cramped and the floorboards creaky. Outlets to charge a phone were both times far from bed.
Loved the staff and quirky decor

AustraliaMany people living in my room, no space as they have all their belongings there. No plugs near the bed, no lockers The 24 hour common room is just next to the bedroom so having some sleep was super hard. WI Fi is awful even for Australian standards

AustraliaI asked for a ground floor room and was told it was available, only to find I had to drag my bags up and down a very narrow staircase to my room when I arrived. Then I found there were ground floor new units at the back available when I booked. Very disappointed.

AustraliaWould have liked somewhere to hang my towel in the bedroom...the bunks don't have enough railings for everyone's towels. An individual bedlamp would have been useful...with everyone coming back to the room at different times, some people were sleeping so you can't turn on the room light without disturbing others.
Location was good...nice & close to the city & public transport. Within the hostel, there were lots of seating & relaxation areas. Wifi worked well. Good kitchen facilities.
