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.).

ChileThe beds were awfully uncomfortable and there weren't any usb chargers or connectors by the beds. Also no curtains on the beds. The bathroom inside the room was very uncomfortable. When you used the sink it was impossible to not splash everywhere because it is small.
The staff was truly nice, very kind and helping.

NetherlandsIn the dormitory room, there was no way to charge devices at the top of the bunk bed.
It is fully self-service, you can check in before your arrival by filling out the appropriate form and installing the application. Thanks to this, we do not need any key or wait unnecessarily for service. The room was clean and tidy. Each guest was provided with bedding, pillowcases, a sheet and a towel. Bathroom in very good condition. There is a lamp next to the bed. The room also had lockers that could be locked with your own padlock.

NetherlandsMy partner and I found the mattress really bad, it was super soft to the degree both of our backs were hurting in the morning. During the night when one of us was changing position the other person was bouncing too which was super annoying. There was also noise from the street (we heard at least 3-4 times the sirene of the police and/or ambulance) and from the corridors outside. It was okay for 1 night but I wouldn't stay for longer.
I liked the location of the hostel, very close to the train station and not too far away from the city center. The check-in process via the app was good. At some point we needed a hairdryer and had to go to the reception to pick one up but everyone was very helpful.

Dominican RepublicThe beds should have a curtain for more privacy. Cabinets can be bigger to better fit the luggage. The kitchen and living room should open until later to allow guests more time to do things. It was a little difficult to follow the check-in directions.
Very warm place. Location is great. Value for your money.

United KingdomBed mattress a little soft. Bar/Café could be open a little later at weekends. Kitchen a little small- no oven . Check in a bit confusing. Was encouraged to check in in advance but still had to do it all over again when I got there.
Good sized room. Clean and relatively quiet . Double-glazed windows so good noise reduction when windows are closed. great view from the 8th floor. Very central location. Great little café bar- good to hang out in. Happy hour every night. Cheap breakfast (coffee & pastry only 5 euros) Staff really helpful and friendly. English spoken. Great facilities and atmosphere overall.

IndiaWithin the staying room, the facility for placement of our baggage could have been better. More spaces or semi-private areas for individual beds would help the person better sort out and manage the luggage and boxes. Also, in the bunker bed system, those who get the top beds do not have mobile / laptop charging points. They have to depend on the limited points which are mostly occupied by those staying in the lower beds.
Location is quite central and inside the sprawling city. Facilities especially the DoItYourself kitchen and dining is a great plus. Very apt for solo travelers, looking for cost effective stay options. All modes of transportation train, buses, trams, etc. are very near to this property. The staffs are professional and helpful. They also offer bike / cycle facility for those who want to go around the city for a minimal charge. There is also a free office space for working professionals. The property is neat.
