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 KingdomOnly thing is that the pillows are quite flat but other than that, great property.
Clean, friendly team, fab location and we had booked a communal room as a couple but ended pretty much in a private communal room (no one else checked in to ours) so that was nice. Aircon was great in the room

Property is in the centre of the city close to everything, clubs are close and vibe in the city is great. Staff are amazing, job shack inside the hostel is very helpful in finding jobs.

New ZealandThe lack of recycling bins sucked, seeing general waste bins piled high with recyclables was gross. Individually plastic wrapped bread on the complimentary breakfast was wasteful. The wifi didn't work in my room so could not work or stream things on my laptop. My room was close to the bar so had to listen to a lot of people partying every night.
Staff were friendly, Place was clean enough, although the kitchen was feral on the weekend. The pool was nice and handy having a bar onsite. Room was clean and tidy.

SpainSome of the stuff were very rude to the girls in my room :c Also you're not supposed to change the AC settings, but it was super cold in my room. Plus no lifts, only stairs (and 3 floors of rooms). And the breakfast flies easily, if you go at 7:30 you may find it pretty empty..
I loved the pool and the weekly activities People seemed very nice too

GermanyThe loud music is a little bit annoying after a while. You can’t really escape the party if you want a chill night cause not only the noise from the bar but also from the streets outside is really loud and you can hear everything inside the rooms. Also the bathroom and the toilets were disgusting sometimes and there was almost no room to store any luggage in the hostel rooms.

SwedenI didn’t really get a welcoming vibe from some of the staff. I walked up to the reception wanting to check in and I m greeted with a “you alright?”. As a man who have worked for a long time in hospitality you greet guests with a “hi” or a welcome” and “would you like to check in?”. Other hostels I’ve stayed at also notify me on tonight event or schedules on what’s going on. I wasn’t informed by the breakfast times so I missed them when I went out on tours in the mornings. I was going to get some on my last day before check out but there was nothing left even though it was another half hour to go and from what I saw, the breakfast selection was pretty dead and it suits for the young people. I m better off getting my own breakfast. For a random reason a lad started showing off with his bull whip at the pool area, causing disturbance and it’s pretty dangerous. Imagine you are just minding your business, you’ve been out all day and want to relax by the pool for a bit and suddenly loud crack just destroys your peace. A few of the staff were friendly and said hello whenever I walked passed (like you should do) but it seems like most hostels are employing everyone nowadays. :( I know it’s a hostel but I m a customer and it’s my money.
Good location! Nice to have bed with curtains. Great pool and chill area around it.

PolandVery loud from the inside and outside pubs, breakfast quite poor (I know it's included in price but it might be better to get a cheaper hostel without breakfast if other parameters seem similiar) and there is no communial cutlery and dishes for it, saw a small cockroach in the kitchen but it's noting serious compared to some other hotels
Good localization, clean, big room with great AC and personal fridge, washing machines and dryers work well, friendly staff, there is a room service who empties your trash can and sometimes changes towels and bedsheets
