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 common areas are so small, we dont have enough space to sit down and eat because you will be sharing with people who using laptop. (which I did both). The toilet and shower room is very small too, and a little bit old, but cleaniness is okay as they clean it often. My room is under ground, it's a lil bit humid. There's no lift in this building and the stairs is small, so it's a lil bit for the one with big & heavy luggage.
The dryer is working very well as all my clothes even the thick one got dried. Is a good place to meet people around the world. The bed is comfortable and the room is actually have plenty of space.

GermanySometimes there was a small line in front of the bathroom. But you could simply go to the house next door and use the bathrooms there.
The houses are really nice and the kitchen is super stylish. The bed was also really comfortable and also the curtain made sleeping really easy.

PolandThe common space is a bit too small for so many people. You’re rather unable to find a place to work or study for a while. And the upper beds are moving when you’re climbing up so I guess it’s really annoying for the person down there

IrelandCould do with some more bathrooms or having the toilets separated from the showers in the building I was staying in as sometimes had to wait some time to use either of those facilities.
Great location that makes it easy to get around the city. I really liked the curtains around each bunk for some privacy.

AustraliaThe bathroom situation was a bit difficult backside there was only two bathrooms and a lot of girls. Wasn’t a major issue, just spent a lot of time waiting for the bathroom.
The beds with curtains were great and the size and security of the room was better than expected. Felt very safe and comfortable leaving our stuff when going out.

GermanyThere was not much space to sit in the kitchen but when I was eating there it wasnt too busy either so it still worked out.
It was very close to the train Station Kings Cross and you could see the Harbour Bridge when you were in the shared bathroom. That was definetly a high. Also it was very cheap to stay there and the communication via Goki was always nice and fast. I would recommend it especially for the price.
