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.).

SingaporeNot a negative but - most of the crowd is there for longer term stay. WHV holders or long term travellers. Less of the short visit crowd.
Good vibe & decent facilities - as expected from a hostel. Have a pretty big kitchen though.

AustraliaThe room was small making it feel a bit cramped. The wifi didn’t work in the rooms, only in the common areas.
We booked a private dorm and it was really clean. The kitchen was big and clean. The common areas were nice with a big TV. Good location. We were accidentally overcharged and this was fixed with no hassle :)

GermanyNothing I didn't like about the property but a lot of people just left their dorms open during the day, and people in our room left it open the entire night (we closed it multiple times) and we woke up at six from the noise, plus it just felt unsafe and weird. But that's not the owners fault I guess, it was just really annoying.
Everything - the furnishings are so cute, everything is clean, the bunk beds actually have some privacy which isn't that common for hostels in Australia, there's lots of free spices and such for everyone and the breakfast was included, the common area was big and had a TV with Netflix (with an account already logged in) and guitars, there was also a bar and a pool table. The owner was so friendly.

AustraliaThe bed is vertical to the hallway. The curtain is not fully closed so its easy to be seen from outside. And the room is stayed was without aircon. The design made the bed hard to get wind. Its a bit hot.

AustraliaIt was quite cold in the rooms. The people staying there (most were long term residents) were extremely annoying; loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate of others. Way more so than normal social hostels, where people are usually pretty chill even when socialising.
The facilities were good, if a bit crowded. The private room was good and had comfy mattress. Toilets were clean.

AustraliaThe only detail that perhaps was not so good is the internet signal. It was intermittent.
I really liked it from the moment you arrive, they welcome you with a smile and give you all the information about where your place is, where you can cook and they suggest where you can eat around. At the end they ask you if you have questions. I liked the room that they have an area to leave things and the bedrooms are clean. The bathrooms also have signs everywhere inviting guests to respect the rules, which makes coexistence enjoyable.

United KingdomThe large window in the door for the private room had a blind behind it that barely covered the glass - I didn’t feel comfortable getting changed with the light on at night. Breakfast could have been explained at check-in better as we weren’t sure what other residents have left out of their own stuff vs what was available for us as part of the free breakfast. Still, no complaints that breakfast was provided!
Plenty of space in the hostel and in our private room. The bed was comfortable, we were given plenty of blankets in case it was cold and we had our own sink. There were plenty of toilet cubicles and showers and the water temperature and pressure were both great. The hostel seemed to place an emphasis on cleanliness and whilst it wasn’t spotless you could see that residents really to care to clean up after themselves and that that culture was embedded.

AustraliaAbsolutely lovely staff - incredibly friendly and welcoming - we aren't strictly backpackers as we were passing through on our way up to the Woodford Folk Festival. We stayed on Christmas Day night and they put on a BBQ for everyone staying there - great music and food and such a nice celebration especially considering travellers would be away from home for Christmas. The manager even shared his Mum's leftover pavlova with the guests! Super comfortable and clean rooms and a really respectful place, very well-organised and laid out. Great location close to beach and excellent cafes. Would highly recommend this backpackers.
